Orin

Orin is a golden Guardian Dragon of the realm of Edenia in the Mortal Kombat series, ordered by Edenia's protector-god Argus to awaken his sons Taven and Daegon. In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Orin stayed dutiful to Taven until Quan Chi teleported to the cavern where the brothers were entombed and dealt Orin a mortal wound to prevent him from transporting Taven. However, Orin had just enough strength left to hold open Quan Chi's escape portal to Outworld for Taven, allowing him to chase after the sorcerer. His final fate is unknown, though the ending of the Konquest mode suggests that he died. A female variant of Orin from an unknown timeline makes a brief appearance in Mortal Kombat 1. She was kidnapped, tortured, and held captive as a live trap in Titan Havik's chaotic timeline as part of The Maze. She later assists the Story Mode's protagonists by helping them escape and sending them to Havik's Citadel to stop his plans. Orin is portrayed as a loyal guardian with a strong sense of duty and sacrifice.
