Hanzo returned to life as the undead Scorpion, consumed with vengeance, and eventually, when he entered into service as the Elder Gods champion, his clan was revived as undead like himself, much to his fury. In the original timeline, Quan Chi wiped the Shirai Ryu out as a reward to the Lin Kuei when their cryomancer assassin Bi-Han, better known as Sub-Zero, killed Hanzo to obtain the map to the Amulet of Shinnok. In the original timeline, the Shirai Ryu were wiped out by the necromancer Quan Chi in conjunction with the Lin Kuei, with the clan's only survivor being the undead revenant, Hanzo Hasashi, better known as Scorpion. The Shirai Ryu are a clan of Japanese ninjas in the Mortal Kombat universe credited with bringing ninjutsu and other secret martial arts to Japan from China, being a splinter faction from the Lin Kuei.
