Along with Kung Jin, he was one of the newest members to join the Tribal Ceremonies. He also assisted in the Unalaving War as he was Liu Kang's artificial construct. It's likely he was the one who summoned and created the Tribal Ceremonies being his birth was before the existence of the Native Americans, Africans, and the Makeba of Outworld. So, he embraced these customs and used them to craft his own traditions and gather various brethren for the war and to preserve for eons to come.
