Queen Sindel is the former Queen of Edenia and mother to Princess Kitana, initially a benevolent ruler whose realm was conquered by Shao Kahn. After the invasion, she was resurrected as an evil sorceress, the Queen of Outworld, and a powerful antagonist who uses her sonic scream and hair-based attacks to fight against Earthrealm. She betrayed her husband, King Jerrod, to gain power and was brainwashed and revived by Shao Kahn to become his weapon against Earthrealm.
