Skarlet (Skarlet or Scarlet) is a Mortal Kombat 2011 (MK 9) character introduced by one of the games DLCs.
Skarlet became available on June 21, 2011, but she debuted in the MK series of video games, in Mortal Kombat II, as a glitch.
Skarlet is one of Shao Khan’s experiments and she was created by mixing the blood gathered from warriors with magic.
Skarlet’s role in Mortal Kombat 2011 is to reveal Quan Chi’s true intentions and kill anyone who opposes her master and creator. Additional information is provided by Skarlet’s bio that can be found on her official web page:
Shao Kahn has many warriors under his command, but his trust lies solely in the fighters of his own creation. Warrior blood gathered from countless battlefields, fused with sorcery, produced his most effective enforcer yet: Skarlet.
An expert tracker, she preys on those deemed enemies of the empire. During kombat, Skarlet gains strength from her opponent’s blood, absorbing it through her skin. Shao Kahn has a new mission for this formidable kombatant: discover Quan Chi’s true intentions and kill him if he plots betrayal of the emperor.
The Mortal Kombat 9 guide below reveals Skarlet’s special moves that can be performed in the game, including her X-Ray attack, babalities and secret fatalities.
