Geras is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. An immortal, artificial construct created by the former Keeper of Time, Kronika, Geras is now one of the two Keepers of Time alongside Liu Kang, and watches over the timelines & the New Era with his new master & friend.
Geras made his debut in Mortal Kombat 11 as a playable character while serving as an antagonist in the game's Story Mode.
Geras returns in Mortal Kombat 1 as a playable character while also serving as a supporting character in the game's Story Mode.
Geras is a loyal and powerful servant of the Keeper of Time and Architect of the Universe's destiny, Kronika. As a creation of Kronika herself, Geras possesses godlike strength and the ability to manipulate the sands of time. His most notable attribute, however, is his imperviousness to death. As a "fixed point in time," he is able to recover from all manner of wounds, even fatal ones, within a matter of minutes, if not seconds. Geras has died thousands of times over, each time coming back stronger and wiser. Due to his immeasurable lifespan and apparent immortality, he has witnessed various key events throughout time, such as the Ice Age thawing and the Great Kung Lao's defeat at the hands of Goro, even claiming to have fought the former before.
Geras also exhibits the traits of a scholar, as a witness of many lifetimes in many timelines. He studies and collects knowledge of events, cultures, and people and, as a result, has an impressive knowledge of the realms and the denizens that inhabit them that he puts to use serving Kronika.
In the new third timeline depicted in Mortal Kombat 1, Geras is reconstructed by Fire God Liu Kang. Though he retains the memories of the past timelines, he chose to watch over the Hourglass to ensure they were faithful to Liu Kang's vision.

The Tribal Ceremony[]
Geras gathers with the other recruits as Unaliving Liu Kang describes Darkseid
In the fourth ceremony, after a few years waiting for their offspring to develop, the undead Keeper of Time, Liu Kang, offered his compatriot to take a break from guarding the Hourglass and use it to recruit potential tribesmen, to find a sense of belonging and assist in the upcoming Unaliving War. It might've been possible he was the one who gathered many tribesmen from distant realms to gather. He was intrigued with the ancient tribal customs from the Makeba and African races and thus would teach them to his new brethren.
Trivia[]
- Geras may be chosen as one of Ikran's Video Game Geokinetics.
