The Beginning of the Conspiracy

After Bi-Han became Grand Master of the Lin Kuei, his ambitions began to grow. He no longer wanted to simply protect the Earth Kingdom - he sought to make the Lin Kuei the most powerful force in all the worlds.

At this point, he began to secretly contact Shang Tsung, who offered him a path to even greater power through magic, forbidden knowledge, and control over destiny.

Bi-Han agreed to cooperate, believing that an alliance with the sorcerer would help him get rid of the restrictions imposed by Liu Kang.

Secret Agreements

Shan Tsung gradually pushed Bi-Han to believe that:

Liu Kang controls the world too tightly

The Lin Kuai deserves to rule

Power is more important than balance

Bi-Han began to accept these ideas, but not as a servant - but as a future ruler who would use Shang Tsung and then get rid of him.

Their alliance was built on mutual distrust, but a common goal - to change the world order.

Conflict with the brothers

When Kuai Liang and Thomas learned of Bi-Han's dangerous methods, a split in the Lin Kuai became inevitable.

Kuai Liang tried to convince his brother to stop, but Bi-Han considered him weak.

Thomas also turned his back on Bi-Han, not accepting his alliance with dark magic.

Consequences of the conspiracy

The conspiracy with Shang Tsung led to:

the formation of a new Shirai Ryu under the leadership of Kuai Liang

the loss of trust between the brothers
