Argus

Argus is the father of Taven and Daegon in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. He is also the narrator of the characters' endings.

Argus is the most powerful of the Edenian Gods. Due to visions of a future apocalypse caused by the growing number of fighters spawned from the tournament, as seen by his wife Delia, he was charged by the Elder Gods to come up with a solution to prevent this from happening. Argus planned to destroy the kombatants to prevent Armageddon, but Delia protested to this, pointing out that "some were heroes, undeserving of death". He came up with a solution to prevent Armageddon: a contest between his sons, Taven and Daegon. They would race each other to the top of his pyramid and defeat the firespawn of his wife's creation, Blaze, with the mystical weapons and armors that he and Delia had given them to find. With Blaze's defeat, depending on which one of the brothers defeated him, not only would they gain full godhood and replace Argus as Protector of Edenia, but the excess energies from Blaze would siphon through their armor and either kill or nullify the power of the other kombatants, preventing their fighting energies from tearing the realms apart. Argus created several obelisks for his sons to train in on their journeys, where he and Delia had left their images in. Argus and Delia were supposedly killed by Daegon shortly after their son's premature revival. However, Daegon's ending reveals both of them may still be alive.

In Rain's ending, it is revealed that Argus is also Rain's father, although he was born from another mother, making him the half-brother of Taven and Daegon.
