![]() Players who grew attached to the Descendant of Apep, and were hoping to see him become a real, playable fighter, are likely disappointed, but according to Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath's good ending it's likely that Apep himself could make a return in the future. ![]() However, the Mortal Kombat series has always reveled in dark humor and shocking violence, so it's no surprise they would simply kill off one of their most mysterious new characters so unceremoniously. It's a grim irony that Apep's descendant would lose his life in a Shaolin Trap Dungeon, since Apep, Shujinko, and their teacher Bo' Rai Cho were the ones who helped grow the Shaolin to their current prominence many, many years previous. Apparently, no matter how ingenious players were at avoiding the monsters and traps in Mortal Kombat 11's Krypt, the Descendant of Apep was always destined to die. The game shows no reverence for the fighter, displaying him impaled from multiple angles, and even gives players a gratuitous shot of his mask falling off his bloodied, slack-jawed chin. Mortal Kombat 11's Descendant of Apep clearly escaped Shang Tsung's island at some point, but it doesn't look like he made it very far. Shang Tsung grabs a stick and pokes at a raised stone on the floor, and suddenly spikes extend from the walls and reveal to the player the exact fate of Mortal Kombat 11's Krypt explorer. Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath adds a few extra hours of much-needed conclusion to the ending of Mortal Kombat 11, and during a moment when Shang Tsung and Nightwolf are infiltrating a Shaolin Temple the scorcer places his hand on Nightwolf's chest and stops him from advancing.

Apep was the childhood friend of that game's main character, Shujinko, and guided players through the tutorial missions which gave them an introduction to MK: Deception's Konquest mode mechanics. Apep is a minor character in the Mortal Kombat universe and has only appeared on screen once, during the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Deception.
