History: (Mortal Kombat X #19 (fb)) - Torr and Ferra were inseparable until conquered and caged by Tarkatan slavers. Kotal Kahn, general of Outworld, was seeking recruits, and freed them after slaughtering the slavers. They celebrated by feasting on their foes remains.

(Mortal Kombat X #8 , 9) - Torr and Ferra served Kotal Kahn as ruler of Outworld, and he rallied his horde to eliminate deposed empress Mileena and her allies. Word got to Reiko and Mileena that Kotal was riding to confront Goro, and Reiko, having learned that Goro planned to betray Mileena if she reclaimed her throne, promised her he'd kill the victor of the battle. Goro had Rain blot out the sky to exploit Kotal's weakness towards darkness, but Kotal used his power to make the sun come through and send down a ray of light, burning Rain to a crisp. Kotal fought through Mileena's soldiers, killing them, and engaged Goro in combat. Goro bragged about living to conquer, but Kotal laid him low by chopping off his four arms. Goro begged Kotal to kill him, but Kotal preferred to see him suffer, and sent him back to Kuatan in disgrace. Kotal's backups Reptile, D'Vorah, Torr and Ferra arrived to mop up Mileena's troops, but Mileena and Reiko escaped in the confusion. Kotal was weakened by his use of blood magic, and Sonya Blade took advantage, shooting him and demanding to know where her daughter Cassie was. Kotal promised that, as someone who lost his family, he would never kidnap someone's children. Evidence pointed to Erron Black, who was the intermediary between Kotal Kahn and the Black Dragon, and Kotal Kahn agreed to take care of business.

(Mortal Kombat X #13, 15, 17, 18) - Cage and Sonya turned Erron Black over to Kotal, and he told Erron he was lucky he hadn't killed him already for nearly starting a war with Earthrealm, ordering him to the dungeons. Kotal told Cage and Sonya he would ensure them safe passage to Shang Tsung's island, but first he had to assemble his troops, because Goro's father King Gorbak had sworn vengeance for Kotal mutilating his son, and had sent a horde of Shokan against Kotal. Kotal sent D'Vorah, Ferra and Torr out as diplomats to meet with Kintaro, offering to pay reparations for crippling Goro. Kintaro showed them no respect, and demanded their absolute surrender. D'Vorah replied that Kotal would never submit, so the Shokan attacked the city walls. Sonya and Johnny Cage engaged in combat with the Shokan, and the Special Forces suffered heavy losses. Kotal could not stay on the backlines, and when D'vorah, Ferra and Torr came to see him they found he'd bled himself using blood magik and went to the front lines. After hours of bloody warfare Kotal Kahn confronted King Gorbak, killing him by exploding his head. The Shokan retreated, but Kotal knew they'd be back. Kotal told D'vorah to accompany Cage and Sonya to Shang Tsung's island so he could fulfill his debt. He found his dagger missing, so he could no longer call on blood magik in his battle with the Shokan. The dagger was stolen by Skarlet, one of Reiko's servants.

(Mortal Kombat X #19-21) - In the midst of his destroyed city Kotal vowed vengeance, even if it cost him his life. His retinue tried to convince him not to be foolhardy, with Ferra, Torr and Reptile reminding him that they owed him their lives, and D'Vorah saying he was the only leader she ever respected. Kotal was deaf to their pleas, but before the discussion was finished Kano arrived with his Black Dragons, claiming to be their salvation. Kano agreed to ally himself with Kotal in exchange for becoming his arms dealer, and Kotal agreed. Kintaro, the Shokan and the Oni Warlords led another raid on Z'unkahrah, but were halted by Kotal and his new allies. Tremor unleashed an earthquake on the Shokan, and Kano hit them with an atomic weapon, decimating the forces. The Shokan refused to surrender, so Kotal ordered his forces to kill them all. Kintaro said he would not yield, but asked for an honorable death. Kotal spared him, telling him he never warred with the Shokan before Goro threw his lot with Mileena, and would welcome them as allies in war against her. Kintaro accepted, and both sides cheered. The Black Dragon demanded their payment, and Kotal told Kano he had repaid a debt for almost causing war between Earthrealm and Outworld when he kidnapped Cassie Cage. Kano threatened to take the sacred portalstone as his payment, and the offended Kotal struck him down, ordering his retinue to send the Black Dragon to the dungeon. Kotal told Sonya and Johnny he'd hand Kano over to them for justice on Earthrealm after they rescued Cassie together.
