his control. Sindel is once again confined to her own prison, guarded by her own daughter until she is freed by Jade. In MK: Armageddon, Sindel is playable along with the entire series roster but was not among the only seventeen characters to receive an official biography and did not play a part in the game's storyline. In the 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot that retells the game's first three titles, Sindel is instead resurrected by Quan Chi and is the recipient of Shang Tsung's powers, enabling her to kill most of Earthrealm's warriors along with Kitana before Nightwolf sacrifices himself to kill her. Sindel is then again resurrected by Quan Chi but as one of his undead revenants, as which she returns in Mortal Kombat X as one of Quan Chi and Shinnok's Netherrealm enforcers. In Mortal Kombat 11, Sindel is a downloadable character in the Aftermath expansion pack, in which her history from her previous series appearances is retconned to her having actually lied about her backstory from MK3 in order to appease her subjects, when in reality she personally kills King Jerrod out of spite for his perceived weakness and willingly becomes Shao Kahn's wife to gain more power. Quan Chi, believing Sindel is distracting Kahn, kills her and makes it appear as a suicide before using her soul to temporarily stop Kahn from invading Earthrealm. Shang Tsung captures Sindel's revenant form and revives her to help him secure Kronika's Crown of Souls. Sindel agrees and helps him while also reconsolidating her power with Shao Kahn before betraying Kitana and Earthrealm's forces. After helping Shang Tsung breach Kronika's keep, however, the sorcerer in turn betrays Sindel and Kahn, absorbing their souls in retaliation for killing him to empower Sindel in MK9. During production of MK3, Sindel was nicknamed "The Bride" and "Muchacha" by the developers before her official name was determined. She was played by actress Lia Montelongo, who was nineteen years old at the time. Sindel has a supporting role in the 1997 film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and was portrayed by Musetta Vander. Her general backstory with Kitana was kept intact, and in a film-exclusive subplot, she is additionally named the new general of Shao Kahn's extermination squads. In the final battle at the film's climax, she is defeated by Kitana, who elects to spare her life, and after Kahn's death, she is brought back to life
