Because of Goro's
reign as Grand Champion of Mortal Kombat, the Shokans are among the most
elite of Outworld's citizens. They maintain a high class status among the
population, and are Shao Kahn's most prized
soldiers on the battlefield. One of the most savage Shokan warriors to
gain Kahn’s attention is the female Sheeva. She can pile drive an opponent
into the ground with her fists, or skin her victims in seconds with her
bare hands.
When Shao Kahn resurrected
Queen Sindel as the first step in his invasion
of Earth, he appointed Sheeva to be her personal protector. Sheeva became
distrustful however, when Kahn appointed Motaro, a Centaurian, to lead
his Extermination Squads into battle. She saw this as an insult, as the
Shokan and Centaurs have long been mortal enemies. She served the emperor
in Earthrealm, but when she returned to Outworld, she was shocked to learn
that Shao Kahn had betrayed the Shokans, and had launched an offensive
against them. She joins her brethren in fighting Kahn's warriors. Sheeva
decided to take revenge on her nemesis Motaro. Sheeva sneaks her
way into Kahn's palace on Earthrealm. She learns that Motaro
has nursed his Earthrealm ally, Kano,
back to health. She secretly approaches Kano and offers him a deal. She
asks for his assistance in assassinating Shao Kahn. Kano agrees. Some time
later, Motaro has returned to the palace to report to Shao Kahn. Sheeva
waits silently in the shadows. As Kano watches from his cell, Sheeva attacks
the unsuspecting Centaurian. She apparently slays Motaro and intends to
treat Shao Kahn similarly. In return for his release, Kano offers to distract
Kahn and tells her to wait for his signal, but Kano betrays Sheeva by covertly
informing Kahn of her intentions. Once Kano gives the signal, Sheeva enters
the throne room where she is immediately run through the back with a sword
by Shao Kahn, who lay in wait. She is seemingly killed by this attack.
