The Vampires, also known as the Moroi or Vaeternians, are a nocturnal, blood drinking species native to the Realm of Vaeternus.
History[]
The Vampire race has a long history that stretches back across countless ages. They are known to be a powerful race with no natural enemy. At some early point in their history, a mysterious sword known as the Datusha came to their realm and was possessed by one of their kind known as Kahil Grigesh. Under the command of the mysterious sword, he would begin a campaign of slaying as many of his kind as he could over the centuries, but eventually regained enough of his senses to journey to the Netherrealm where he committed Hara-Kiri, thus trapping the sword within that infernal realm.
At some point, the Vampire realm would be conquered by Shao Kahn and incorporated into Outworld. Many of the Vampires would travel through the realms using the power of their magic crystals, and some even journeyed to Earthrealm, where they found the realm's natural sunlight to be harmful to them, unlike that of other realms.
The vampiress Nitara would spend many long decades seeking an orb that linked her realm to that of Outworld. Using the aid of Reptile and Cyrax, she managed to recover the orb and free her realm. The vampire race would attempt to rebuild but once again they found them besieged by the sword Datusha now in the hands of the demon hunter Ashrah. Nitara would try and fight her but failed and attempted to gain godhood at the Pyramid of Argus in Edenia to achieve the power to make her race dominant forever. [1]
In Nitara's Armageddon ending, she defeated and slew the fire elemental Blaze, and divine power obtained upon her victory, transformed Nitara into a blood god. The new Vampire deity then turns her attention to, and transforms, all the kombatants present at the pyramid (including Shao Kahn) into Vampires. With an army of powerful warriors at her command, Nitara now conquer each realm and rules the universe.
