Killer Instinct has been teasing their totally “not a mummy” character for a while now, and today we finally got some details on the upcoming addition to the roster. He is Kan-Ra, former Vizier, manipulative wielder of dark magic, and technically not a mummy. He just looks like one.

Kan-Ra was the former adviser to the throne of Babylon in 559 BC, but things end up taking a turn for the worse when he uses a seduction spell to charm the queen. This is part of a larger effort to kill the King and take the throne by making the Queen a secret assassin because he’s never heard of poison, apparently. Seems like he got the “hey baby how you doin’?” part of the spell right but ruined the “hey baby want to kill all kings?” aspect of it because she eventually snaps out of it, kills herself, and tells the King of their affair.

This is grounds for immediate termination without a recommendation letter for most companies, or for casting a curse that causes the subject to slowly and painfully rot away from the inside depending on how lenient your company’s HR department is. Kan-Ra finds himself victim of the latter, and he is forced to accrue dark magic artifacts (and other curses) to stave off death and the indescribable pain.

Sounds like a nice guy. So far, all we have of him is this image below, but we will be getting a handful of trailers in the upcoming weeks. The official trailer for Kan-Ra will be out November 21, with the Ultra Release on November 24 and the Combo Release on November 30.
