Erron Black is a mercenary gunslinger from Earthrealm in the service of Kotal Kahn, and a former associate of the Black Dragon until Kano’s betrayal. In his Mortal Kombat X Arcade Ending, it is shown that he was hired by Shang Tsung 150 years ago to murder an Earthrealm warrior in exchange for magic that would slow his aging process. Although he resides in Outworld, Erron was born and raised in 19th century Texas and, as such, has many Old West mannerisms and makes frequent use of cowboy idioms.
Erron Black returns in Mortal Kombat 11. While the present-day version continues to serve Kotal Kahn and later Kitana Kahn, his younger self maintains his partnership with the Black Dragon despite his future allies telling him he’d change allegiances.
Erron’s most notable attribute in combat is his penchant for firearms, wielding a pair of revolvers with an almost superhuman degree of speed and accuracy. He also makes frequent use of rifles, dynamite, beast traps, caltrops, and sand orbs.
