Motaro comes from a powerful Outworld race called the Centaurians. His people
are massive, and possess the upper body of a man and the lower body of a
horse. They were known for their savagery in combat, but were often
overshadowed by the more powerful Shokan race. However, after the defeat of
his top two Shokan henchmen, Shao Kahn passed over
other warriors and elected Motaro to lead his armies. This was a great honor
for the Centaurian race, as well as an affront to the Shokan. He immediately
made an enemy in Sheeva, who vowed to restore her
people's honor. Motaro was assigned to lead the Outworld armies in their
invasion of Earth. Under his command, Kahn's extermination squads decimated
the population of the Earth. Only a few warriors were left, and the armies set
out to crush the last few survivors. However, the warriors proved resistant to
the Outworld armies, and began to push them back. Eventually, they were
defeated, and Motaro himself was bested in combat by Kabal
. Disgraced, Motaro retreated to his homeland to escape Shao Kahn's wrath.
