Jago & Litefoot & Strax by Justin Richards

Possessed by the entity known as Omen, Jago was transformed into Shadow Jago, wreaking havoc across the globe as he strove to feed more power to Gargos. In an attempt to exorcise the sprit through a force of wills, Jago instead succumbed to the corruption.

The tournament finished, Jago returned to his temple to meditate on his growing anger and rage, but too late discovered the truth: the Tiger Spirit was actually a manifestation of the evil Astral entity known as Gargos. He almost killed his long-lost sister Orchid, but was able to stop himself from landing the fatal blow. As he competed, a growing sense of dread built in him, as the force of the Tiger spirit became hungrier and more aggressive, pushing him to further and deeper violent tendencies. Not knowing why such a thing was necessary, but confident in the wisdom of the spirit, he entered. The spirit called upon him to destroy Ultratech by entering their Killer Instinct tournament. During this time, he was visited by the Tiger Spirit and infused with a tremendous power. To atone for this sin he became a hermit, isolating himself in a mountain cave and turning his thoughts inward, meditating on his actions and the guilt he carried from the act. When he reached adulthood a fellow warrior-under the influence of an evil force-tried to murder him, but Jago killed the man in self-defense. Jago was abandoned as a baby at a secluded monastery in the Himalayas where he was trained by the Monks of the Tiger.
