"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This was not your destiny, Shinnok. Once again the Thunder God has upset the balance of history. *Picks poor Shinnok's severed head up* But know this! The Ark of the Universe bends to my will! MY WILL ONLY! It is only a matter of time."

— Almeida to Shinnok

Queen Almeida is a central character who debuted in Mortal Kombat 12 as the main villain. She is the Keeper/Goddess of Time and the Queen of the icy planet known as Boolos`.

She is one of the major, if not central characters on this Wiki.

Info

Due to Raiden's new brutal policy in crushing potential evil forces that threaten his precious Earth, she sees it as an imbalance between the forces of good and evil and seeks to balance it by rewriting our entire timeline.

Helping her in her quest to turn back times to the good o' days is the Boolos sandman Geras.

She was known to be making some sort of an uneasy alliance with Shao Kahn and most of his followers during her jumps from one timeline to another in order to stop the wretched thunder god. This turned out to be an alliance which benefited her as much as it did Shao. She is currently trying to remove some of Lord Azazel's powers as she finds him a bit of a threat in her ruling of the balance of the universe.

The Resistance

As the Queen continues to use and protect her Hourglass, she is alerted by Geras and Grizzly, who informed her about Shang Tsung, Darrius and Lex Luthor (unknown to them was that they would all soon be slaughtered by Lord Azazel) arriving to her Keep. She's in disbelief about their reach, even though it's escapable. With these rumors ringing true, she tasked Geras and a created minion of her (a clone of Jacob Redwood) to capture them while Grizzly will defend her Keep.

Realising her enemies' plans are to steal the crown, Kronicka dispatches Cetrion to Shang Tsung's courtyard to retrieve the Crown, but she is confronted by Darrius and The Joker but while she manages to kill Darrius, the Cuneo escapes. However, Shang Tsung arrives from behind with one of his masked guards and wounds Cetrion, who returns to Almeida. The Queen continues to manage the Hourglass to delete the rivals, altho Shang's strong presence takes some time, quite the hours, and she then just worries about how powerful Shang is becoming, and wonders if his allies realise how dangerous he really is and how he will stab them all in the back.

Almeida then teleports herself at the Chinese gardens on King Sombra, confronting the Jocker, Sub-Zero and Shangy Tsung. She wipes the Zero out of existence but Joker and Tsung escape with tails between their smelly legs. Almeida just laughs sadistically, the pegs on her face becoming redder and she sends forth a couple of Black Elk Tribesmen, led by Standing Snake, to capture the two cowards, but they only manage to wound the Joker before they both escape, earning some berates and yells from the Goddess of Time.

As Joker and Tsung storm the cliffs of Almeida's Keep, she asks Cetrion to transport some of Geras clones and Black Elks to the Keep for the upcoming battle at hand, claw and hoof. However, Darrius, who stole her crown, is now empowered by said Crown and pretends to be on Shang and Joker's side, serving as their ally, waiting to manipulate them and later betray them and kill Almeida. In defiance, the Queen sends the Brotherhood of Shadow, skeletony members of Dragon King's Army and Irons after the sorcerer, the mad clown and the Seidan rebel. While the minions are able to cause some damage to Jocker and Shang, Darrius is able to quickly kill 'em thx to having her crown. Lord Azazel then arrives and beheads the jolly Joker and Tsung, but Darrius survives thx to the crown. As Almeida and Cetrion become eager to obtain Azazel's powers, Darrius punches at the Diamond God, but thx to his powers, Azazel easily obliterates him. Almeida and Cetrion jump at Azazeru, but no use. A victorious Azazel drains their souls, making him strong enough to finally control all of reality! Almeida and Cetrion are lying lifelessly on the floo', but... they resurrect themselves after a while as they can't ever really die and take the Universe back from Azazel, who used to rule all of the Planets.

General Olaf Tutchenko was the ruler of the planet Ochanep thanks to Kronicka before he was killed by Azazel and he merged the planet with his own.

Her Perfect Vision

The Boolosian Queen promised rich changes to those who would assist in her plans, and her plans also included these changes, some similar to those of the first timeline:

• Making Shao Kahn Emperor of Outworld again.
• Making Cetrion the leader of the Multiverse Federation, after imprisoning and killing most of the Elder Gods.
• Erasing the complete existence of Lincoln Clay so Frank Carezzo's casino plan would triumph.
• The revival of the Black Elk Tribe and give them a home on Outworld.
• Enriching the Brotherhood of Shadow.
• The survival/revival of Javier Escuella, Leopold Strauss, Grizzly, Professor Perry, Lord Farquaad, Mayor Griffon, Joel Stromboli, Bruno Tattaglia and later Gicov Bell III under Strauss' suggestion.
  • Riches for Gicov's Gang.
• Resurrecting Shinnok to rule the Never Never Land once more as Olaf Tutchenko defeated him.
  • Ensured Olaf ruled at least one other planet.
• Riches for the Black Dragon Clan.
• Erasing the complete existence of Raiden and a resistful Liu Kang.
• Ordering Cetrion in killing off Fujin.
• Glory for the revenant Kung Lao and killing of the non-revenant Kung Lao.
• Imprisoning Victor Barzini.
• Destroying the Tattaglia Family.
• Enriching Spencer Bailey, head of Radiant Motors Company: and his company and the Mishima Corporation.

Quotes

• "I've changed the timelines so many times idk if I should call you Raiden or Reiko!"
• "Dam! I sure don't make Luca Brasi like I used to."
• "BEHOLD: MY BLISS PROFANE!"
• "We're soon enough gonna be standing before the abyss and the world... The Universe... Will be in flames. We will have no other choice but to bow down before the Being... which is only One. Either him or The Beast... With Many Names."
• "Ohohoho, dear Shinnok, my son; you cannot lie to me, King of Lies. You fail to realise that your sister was right - Blessed are the restless minds of my followers who know the laws of nature and respect her. You can destroy many things, I'll allow it, but not my world."
• "Me? Some average Elder God? HAHAHAHA! I am much more!; I am the Goddess of Time! The Architect of Time and the Universe! I am the Mistress of Puppets! And Gait... will die!"
• "The hourglass helps me guide the destiny of the planets and every soul therein, damned or blessed, believer or non-believer, their lives... are practically mine. I have carefully crafted them to keep the planets in balance until Argus and his wife saw the power of the combatants becoming too numerous. Raiden reset the timeline back to the first Mortal Kombat Tournament to oppose Shao Kahn. When he killed Shinnok, however, not only has my work's balance been irreversibly tainted but he killed my only son as well. Luckily, I still have my precious daughter."
• "I have many names, so I assume you'll wager I habe many faces, but nah. Nah! HELL NAH! TO THE NAH, NAH! HELL TO THE NAW!!! Raiden is the treacherous one, not me! I am both: Keeper of Time AND Keeper of my Word. See how good that sounds?"
• "You were to retire and be distinguished, honoured and cheered like a hero, not to die in disgrace at the vengeful hands of Red Harlow. If only you would have more impact on history other than being Javier Diego's biatch, then perhaps that would have happened. Hahahahahahaha, I almost forgot your name even! Colonel Daren, right?"
• "Never Never Land isn't yours to govern, Olaf! I'll give you Ochanep instead. How does that sound?"
• "Had you succeeded in winning World War II, my plans for other people would have gotten down the toilet and I'd had to replan everything! I don't have time for that, Tutchenko!"
• "My Irons and Pigmen will see to it that the Keep is protected while I hit the tavern. Geras, my dearest servant, will you deliver this mail to the Forces of Light?"
• "You wish to destroy the planets? Good... Your goals will serve me well, for you see; I am getting a bit tired of being the Goddess of Time and having to control everything and having to have all these denizens under my watch, making sure they don't fuak the timelines up, like Raiden did, so I know that if Azathoth or the One Being come, they'll just devour everything and my work will be completed. Their return assured, ultimate order will be unleashed! That is something I have yearned for for a loooonnggg time."
• "Sometimes, even I don't understand the nature of my game, but that's the beauty of it."
• "You should go vegan, Shao."
• "Azazel, Amy and Onaga will hold their ends of the bargain. I have foreseen it! We will awaken our Masters. The only two beings that have power over me."

Personality and traits

Queen Almeida is a rather tyrannical perfectionist and a manipulative puppet and time master to the extreme. She manipulates all the time to work towards her desired universe of balance between good and evil, even more so than Steven. Almeida has reset the history of man countless times in a long quest towards perfection, but with little differences.

Almeida has the demeanour of a kindly angelic god, is a master orator and organiser, and is nigh-omniscient as the architect of time which bends to her perfect will. Almeida will make use of her strengths as she promised her recruits idealised, pain-free lives full of wealth in her reboot of time which she will eventually fulfil.

In the end, however, those deemed unworthy of serving at Almeida's side get their promises hollowed. Almeida is also indirectly and directly responsible for most of the tragedies she does to convince others to work for her to "avoid the same fate". To those who refuse to serve or follow her, Almeida is very cruel. That kind of person usually becomes a threat, and then Almeida will show her true colours and do everything in her power to wipe that person from history. She would even sacrifice her own children (at least daughter) to attain her goals.

Almeida hates lesser beings that influence history in ways she doesn't want. Raiden is Almeida's archenemy; having constantly been a thorn in her side across many timelines and he actually has the potential and bowls to threaten her. Almeida liked and admired Dutch van der Linde's point of view, and saw Olaf Tutchenko as a "great leader" and a necessary one to start World War II, while she also supported Shao Kahn and his conquering of the planets. The only fear Almeida really has is Raiden convincing the demigod Steven in teaming up against her. She has also always made sure to push Raven and Liu Kang, one of Raiden's "lambs" into killing each other, implying Kang could also possess a threat to her.

She also plans to reawaken the One Being and Azathoth and so has forged an alliance with fellow deity and villains: Azazel, Onaga and Amy Sorel. However, Almeida's goals for awakening the two beasts are different than the other aforementioned characters', but it's not like that she, they or the Reality lords give any siths.

Powers and abilities

Almeida possesses the ability to manipulate time and space on a scale previously unseen by anyone else, including Steven. Her demonstrated power over time includes stopping the flow of time itself around those save for herself or anyone else she includes. She can summon multiple individuals from across the entire history of time itself and bring them to her present era, even condense two entirely different points in space and time together, allowing doppelgangers of the same person to exist and occupy the same space at the same time, though she uses this power rarely. Kronicka has promised to rewrite the entirety of the fabric of space and time to create the New Era events to undo the changes brought about by the thunder God Raiden after he "killed" her son.

As an all-powerful Elder God and a mother of two Gods, she possesses powers no one has ever seen before. Almeida can also manipulate sand for offensive measures, such as summoning sandstorms in the Middle East, Outworld or Orinion, blasting sand beams all around and can turn sand into glass to create blades sharp enough to decapitate a person. For defensive means, she can turn into sand, a fly or dust to become intangible and impervious to attacks or create sandy or ice fields that damage her opponent over time and overhead. She can also turn into any animal of her choosing. The Boolosian Queen also has access to psychic powers such as telekinesis, capable of ripping people in half or flaying them whole with a gesture or an ice sword while making them stand perfectly still. She can also summon other warriors around to aid her; presumably, these warriors are pulled from alternate timelines, and obey her without question. She did promise them a wealthy future after all. She also seems able to command the local wildlife to aid her - as she does with extinct dinosaurs - and can even rain elephants, men, whales, Seidan Guardsmen, Barney as SEB and cannon balls upon foes. She can also summon Superman down from the sky to do her bidding and even SEB Barney who will be running over 1,000 mph over Kronicka's opponent. Her most potent attack, however, is a powerful energy beam that not only inflicts terrible wounds to an opponent but also traps the foolish victim in a temporal icy bubble, unable to move and at her mercy unless she decides otherwise.

She can also use her time powers offensively by firing projectiles, dynamite and mushroom Oil that wildly rewinds, forward and backwards and can then stop her foes in time and she can also make these projectiles home missiles to target and pop them to dust like a pro. The stronger effects of her time merging can also erase some beings from existence but this effort requires a lot of energy to use so she uses it wisely.

While she can be injured, she can never, ever be killed, and decapitating her will only make her grow her body parts and limbs back.

In spite of her power, she is not omnipotent and her mastery over all time is limited, requiring the immense energies of China's Jinsei and her crown hidden away in Shang Tsung's Island empowered by the countless souls he had gathered over his lifetime for her to enhance her powers to her fullest. With the crown on her balded head, she is able to rewind the time entirely and completely using her mighty hourglass and the help of Cetrion, erase the history of man, pluck Raiden's eyes out, rip his tongue, making him slave to gravity. She also fears Steven, Liu Kang and Raiden's power, especially if combined, manipulating various timelines to pit them against each other rather than their foes. Nevertheless, she once battled Liu Kang, a fight in which he lost.

Killing of Liu Kang

After Raiden and Scorpion merge themselves into human Liu Kang, transforming him into a Fire God, Almeida sees she has no other choice but to decapitate Liu as he had become far too powerful to ignore, mostly because of the fact that he does not see her vision of timelines and instead still serves Raiden.

Theme song

Being a Goddess of Time itself and quite a perfectionist with a memeing vibe and a chill spine for the braves, Queen Almeida's theme can't be none other than the trap-remixing TrapNation's Take/Five's Magick Flute!
