Orin is a golden anthropomorphic guardian Dragon of the planet of Edenia who was ordered by Edenia's protector-god Argus to awaken his sons Taven and Daegon in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. Orin, however, stayed dutiful to Taven until the very end, when Quan Chi teleported to the cavern the brothers were entombed in and dealt Orin a mortal wound to prevent him from transporting Taven anywhere. However, Orin had just enough strength left after the attack to hold open Quan's escape portal to Outworld for Taven, allowing him to chase after the sorcerer. His final fate is not shown, though the ending in Konquest mode suggests that he has died as well.
