Background
Originally, Chamelon was a secret character in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. He was one of Shao Kahn's deadliest warriors in the game. Chamelon returned in Mortal Kombat: Armaggedon as a playable character. He also had a big backstory in the game.

Mortal Kombat
Chamelon was a fighter who hid in the shadows of the realm of Outworld. He was eventually found by emperor Shao Kahn. The emperor hired Chamelon to prevent the warriors of Earthrealm from winning the Mortal Kombat tournament. This way, Shao Kahn could maintain his dominance over Earthrealm even if he was defeated in the tournament. Mortal Kombat champion Liu Kang managed to defeat the other fighters in the tournament before beating Shao Kahn. After Shao Kahn lost, he dispatched Chamelon to fight Liu Kang. Chamelon was one of Shao Kahn's deadliest warriors. He possessed the ability to camouflage himself which was an unfair advantage. Despite Camelon's ability, he was still beaten by Liu Kang. As a result, Shao Kahn and his forces were sent back to Outworld. Chamelon went into hiding.

Battle of Armaggedon
Years later, Chamelon emerged from hiding. He mastered the fighting style of Crane and acquired a ninja sword. By this point, Chamelon was no longer interested in serving Shao Kahn. Instead, he wanted to be known and feared throughout the realms. Chamelon heard about the Battle of Armageddon. He saw as an opportunity to be feared and known. He joined the side of evil and fought many Kombatants. During the battle, the Pyramid of Argus emerged from the ground. All of the Kombatants attempted to reach the top. While everyone fought, Chamelon camouflaged himself and easily sneaked to the top. There, he defeated Blaze who was the pyramid's guardian. He managed to defeat Blaze and acquired the guardian's power. By acquiring the power, Chamelon became known by everyone in the universe. They feared him because of his new power.
