Ko'atal, most commonly referred to as Kotal Kahn or just simply Kotal, is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series. A powerful, high-ranking Osh-Tekk, he is the former Emperor of Outworld, serving as the realm's Emperor after the death of Shao Kahn.
Kotal Kahn made his playable debut in Mortal Kombat X, serving as a tertiary antagonist in the game's Story Mode opposite to Shinnok and Quan Chi.
Kotal Kahn returned in Mortal Kombat 11 as a playable character while also serving as a supporting character in the game's Story Mode.
Unsure whether or not he's a villain, Kotal established a free-for-all taking over Shao's position in Outworld being the new Kahn, especially when he took the throne of Kahn's Arena and led the melee with various enemies, including Ferra/Tor, a Xenomorph, Joker, Jason, and several others.
