<P> Reiko is a general of the armies of Shinnok, Shao Kahn, and the Brotherhood of Shadow . In MK4, after Shinnok's forces are defeated, Reiko disappears, before reemerging to join the fight against the Earth defenders . His ending merely had him walking through a portal and disappearing, which was later enhanced to include him seating himself on Kahn's throne and wearing his helmet, which was also mentioned in Deception's Konquest mode but has since been explored no further in the series canon . In the Konquest mode for Armageddon, Taven encounters Reiko in his war room in Shao Kahn's fortress, and Reiko tries to recruit Taven into Kahn's army, but Taven refuses as his only intention is to kill Quan Chi, and he defeats Reiko in battle . Reiko's noncanonical Armageddon ending again involves him wearing Kahn's helmet, but he becomes more powerful than Kahn after defeating Blaze, "transforming him into a warlord of unprecedented savagery ." In the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot, he makes a cameo appearance in the background of the "Pit" stage, fighting either Daegon, Frost, Kenshi, or Sareena . Reiko played no part in Mortal Kombat X, but he has been a featured antagonist in the 2015 comic book series based on the game, serving as Mileena's adviser while secretly intending to use Mileena to claim Outworld's throne for his own . His backstory therein shows him as the successor to Shao Kahn's throne after the events of MK2011, a prophecy that was false after Quan Chi had used Kahn as a tool for his and Shinnok's intended rule of Earthrealm and Outworld . Reiko attempts suicide as a result before being stopped by Havik, leading to events such as the killing of Scorpion, the cursing of Jacqui Briggs and Cassie Cage, and the corruption of Shujinko and Raiden, all with the "Kamidogu" daggers, but he himself is apparently killed in battle by Kotal Kahn, Mileena and Ermac, until Havik arrived to save Reiko in bringing a possessed Raiden with him to capture Johnny, Sonya, Kotal, Ermac and Mileena . Survived and captured the five warriors who opposes him, Reiko finally fulfill his blood reign, as a new Blood God . Turns out, Havik had been using him all along, as the Blood God's power has taken away of Reiko's life and melting his body . </P> <P> The name "Reiko" is actually a feminine Japanese name (as was later the case with Hotaru in Deception), and Ed Boon said that the series developers came to associate him with Shao Kahn in regards to his storyline, building on it for his Armageddon appearance . Reiko debuted in MK4 with an outfit resembling that of the palette - swapped ninjas from the two - dimensional games, in addition to salt - and - pepper sideburns with black hair, but he returned in Armageddon with a costume resembling Kahn's and both sides of his head shaved . His alternate costume therein was a duplicate of his MK4 design . </P> <P> Reiko placed 42nd on UGO's 2012 list of the top 50 Mortal Kombat characters, and 45th in Dorkly's 2013 online fan - voted MK character poll . Hardcore Gaming 101 said of the character, "Reiko just likes to wear Shao Kahn's helmet a lot, and...he has a new outfit more like Shao Kahn's and uses a hammer just like his former master does . Reiko has issues ." Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek rated Reiko last (73rd) in his 2015 ranking of the series' playable characters, for what he considered the wasted potential of his storyline in regards to his connection to Shao Kahn: "Reiko is like opening the biggest gift at Christmas only to see you got a pair of used socks ." WhatCulture ranked him fourteenth in their 2015 selection of the series' twenty worst characters . "Reiko is guilty for the crime of having zero individuality ." </P> <Dl> <Dd> Performed by: Lia Montelongo (MK4) </Dd> <Dd> Voiced by: Lia Montelongo (MK4), Jennifer Hale (MKX) </Dd> </Dl>
