About Tavius

Tavius was born many centuries ago in China. His mother was of Russian heritage and his father of Chinese. His mother was killed by corrupt members of the Old Lin Kuei. His father brought him to the Shaolin temple where he would eventually be taken care of by the great Kung Lao prior to his death at the hands of Goro. After his father passed away suddenly due to illness, the young Tavius began to push himself to the limits in order to make sure he was ready for anything the world could throw at him. After the news of Kung Lao's death reached the Shaolin temple, Tavius took a brief period to mourn the loss of his guardian and mentor. One fateful day, he had encounter with the thunder god Raiden. The thunder god sensed the potential behind the young man and requested that he perform a task that would prove his worth in kombat.

The task included him traveling to a secret temple within a cave that was created during the period of Shinnok's betrayal. It's purpose was to give Earthrealm warriors a place to go to be judged on if they were worthy of becoming the Elder Gods' Champion. Tavius' quest was to find and retrieve ancient daggers forged by the Elder Gods themselves. He did in fact manage to retrieve them and return the artifacts to Raiden. Knowing that his suspicions were true, Raiden sent Tavius to many places around the world to train with many martial arts masters including Bo Rai Cho.

Over the centuries, he continued to train and fight along side Raiden and Earth's warriors. He eventually stepped down from his role as Champion after his defeat at the hands of Shang Tsung. He unknowingly played into the sorcerer's plan of keeping him away from the Mortal Kombat Tournament. 500 years after the Great Kung Lao's death, the Shaolin monk Liu Kang finally defeated both Goro and Shang Tsung and protected Earthrealm from Shao Khan. Tavius did not know the young man, but he congratulated him nonetheless.

Now not long after Shao Khan's defeat in the second tournament, Tavius has been tasked with helping Raiden and his warriors once more. In an ironic twist of fate, he must defend the realms against none other than Liu Kang himself. As a result of his training, Tavius could imitate any form of fighting that he could see. He had perfected his technique for the defense of Earthrealm. He was going to protect his home or die trying. His first mission was to find a mysterious man known as the Arkham Knight.
