Bo' Rai Cho

"How you maneuver in combat plays as much a part of your strategy as how you punch o' kik!"

- Bo' during the training with Shujinko

Bo' Rai Cho is an Outworld martial arts teacher and a "hero" from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series.

Info
Bo' Rai Cho was a teacher of many great warriors, such as Liu Kang and Shujinko. Despite living on Earth, he was actually from Outworld and though he had the skills to participate in a Mortal Kombat Tournament, Bo' couldn't since his victory would allow Shao Kahn to take over Earth. After Liu Kang was killed by the Deadly Alliance, Kung Lao went to Bo' Rai Cho for training on how to defeat Shang Tsung and Quan Chi.

Borrachon went to Outworld while the Earth warriors prepared to fight the Deadly Alliance. Bo' spied on the two sorcerers, afterwards rescuing another Outworld fighter, Li Mei.

During the events of Mortal Kombat: Return of The Dragon King, he regrouped with the surviving Earth warriors led by the Thunder God Raiden and retreated.

Later, he fought against Onaga in the Great Battle, siding with the Forces of Light, but ultimately died while trying to reach the top of the Pyramid of Argus.

Alternative Timeline
During the ending chapter of Mortal Kombat X, Bo' Rai Cho is seen at the Sky Temple having a drink from his flask and waiting for the arrival of Raven. After Raiden appears they talk about how they haven't seen each other in a long time. Bo' Rai Cho and Raiden then walk to the Jinsei Chamber, as Raiden needed to disarm a trap set by Kano.

As Raiden is recharging, flashbacks go through his head. He is awoken after hearing an explosion. Looking up, Raiden sees Bo' Rai Cho being dragged away. While Raiden makes his way to Bo', he is tortured by Shinnok. Although Shinnok mentions that Bo' Rai Cho would die shortly after the torture, his fate is left unknown.
