Nightwolf summons his bows and uses energy that is very bright, doesn't he? This looks like a handmade, legitimate, unsommoned weapon and I don't think this hand (or the boot below) looks like anything Nightwolf has ever wore before. As no other character apart from Fujin (Who uses a crossbow, not a string bow) uses a bow - like weapon.

If you look, closely what looks like a small skeleton - like leg on this screenshot of the last boot looks quite similair to the weapon we are seeing here. I think with this picture it could easily be a staff, because it is touching the floor and is curved to the right at the bottom (a bow should not look like that, adding further evidence as to why I don't think this is Nightwolf). Therefore, I think this is a new character that could possibly be responsible for the resurrections of Kitana and Kung Lao (Although I do still think it is most likely Quan Chi), because using a staff obviously implies a character uses magic. I quite like the design of this if it is a staff, as it is quite different from the normal, typical, boring stick with a skeleton or weird patten at the top.

I have stated my evidence as to why I think this is not Nightwolf or Fujin and why I think this is a completely new character.

Sorry if my theory sounds weird, I just wanted to state my thoughts.

okay. Especially Ed Boon's reply was "Baff"(staff + bow combined). That makes this character even less likely to be a human. This 'baff' does not look like something a human could forge.

as for who is responsible for reviving Kung Lao and Kitana, I do not believe Quan Chi is the one: he likes to have his slaves MINDLESS and OBEDIENT. Judging from the info about Netherrealm War that supposedly took place not long after MK9, I would say Raiden and/or Liu Kang might have something to do with their resurrection by TAKING THE WAR TO THE NETHERREALM.
