History[]
Origin[]
Oniro was the previous Grand Master of the Lin Kuei clan; a clan of ninjas. He was also a skilled fighter and was strong enough to break large rocks with his own hands. Oniro wore a gray version of the clan's uniform.
Lin Kuei Automation[]
Oniro commanded the automation of the Lin Kuei. Two warriors, Cyrax and Sektor, underwent the process willingly. Everybody else was automated except for Oniro. Sub-Zero and Smoke were the only clansmen who refused. They attempted to escape but only Sub-Zero succeeded. Oniro captured Smoke and forced him to undergo automation.
Hunting Sub-Zero[]
Oniro attempted to hunt Sub-Zero. He used Smoke who was reformed into a cyborg. He was almost successful until Smoked regained his memories. He then turned against the Grand Master. Oniro was shoved into a chasm but he managed to escape by transforming into a bird and then flying away.
Current Status[]
Oniro is no longer the Grand Master of the Lin Kuei. Sub Zero has assumed his role. Oniro left the clan and he is missing or dead.
