History
Original Timeline
The clan was formed and founded by Takeda, who trained his peers and taught them to mock the Lin Kuei by wearing similar ninja clothes, except with a notable yellow coloring. Scorpion led and protected the clan of yellow-garbed ninjas for years, as well as a village of his peers. However, the entire clan was wiped out by Quan Chi, a villainous necromancer who was disguised as Elder Sub Zero, a Lin Kuei warrior and bitter rival of Scorpion. Quan Chi then resurrected Scorpion and gave him the power to kill the framed Sub Zero in return for his servitude.
