| - Because of Prince Goro's reign as Grand Champion of Mortal Kombat, the Shokans were among the most elite of Outworld's citizens. They maintained a high class status among the population, and were Kahn's most prized soldiers on the battlefield. One of the most savage Shokan warriors to gain Kahn's attention was the female, Sheeva. 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. This was an insult to the Shokan race, as the Shokan and Centaurs have long been mortal enemies. During the ensuing battles, Sheeva attacked anyone who tried to get close to Sindel. After dispatching countless enemies, she was confronted by Jade and the renegade Princess Kitana. They intended to free Sindel from Kahn's spell, but had to fight Sheeva first. Her brute strength was not enough to defeat these two highly skilled warriors. Sheeva was brought down by Kitana and Jade, and they rushed to confront Sindel. Embarrassed for her failure, Sheeva retreated back to Outworld. When she arrived, she was shocked to learn that Shao Kahn had betrayed the Shokans, and had launched an offensive against them. She joined her brethren in fighting Kahn's warriors. The Shokans were far outnumbered and couldn't hope to win. However, before Shao Kahn was defeated by Earth's champion Liu Kang after his victory over Kung Lao, Sheeva decided to take revenge on her nemesis, Motaro. Sheeva snuck her way into Kahn's palace on Earth. She learned that Motaro had nursed his Earthrealm ally, Kano, back to health. She secretly approached Kano and offered him a deal; she asked for his assistance in assassinating their emperor, Shao Kahn. In exchange, she was to pay him in precious jewels extracted from Kuatan's magnificent mines, to which Kano agreed. Some time later, Motaro had returned to the palace to report to Shao Kahn, with Sheeva waiting silently in the shadows. As Kano watched from his cell, Sheeva attacked the unsuspecting Centaurian. She attacked Motaro and, after a long brutal fight, she assumed that she had killed him. but unbeknownst to Sheeva, had Motaro survived her attack. Afterwards, Sheeva proceeded to face Shao Kahn. Kano offered to distract Kahn and told her to wait for his signal. However, Kano betrayed Sheeva by telling Kahn she killed Motaro and was now planning on killing him. After Kano gave the signal, Sheeva entered the throne room where she and Kahn would soon face face off. With Kahn being able to so quickly and easily grab her, he killed her by stabbing her in the chest with his sword multiple times.
