Goro is the Prince of the subterranean race of Shokans, a race of half-human/half-dragons that live in the realm of Kuatan. He is the son of King Gorbak and Queen Mai. He also has seven wives.

When he was younger he and his older brother Durac both brought their father the same gift, a jewel egg. They battled for the honor of presenting their gift and Goro nearly fell to his death, Durac however saved his life and they continued their duel. Goro however deliberately knocked his brother over the edge and presented his gift to their father.

After Shang Tsung's defeat in Mortal Kombat by the Great Kung Lao, Shao Kahn sent Goro to participate in the next tournament where he defeated the Great Kung Lao and became the new champion of Mortal Kombat, prompting Shao Kahn to hold the Shokans in his favor. Goro would keep his title for 900 years until his defeat by Liu Kang. He'd later apparently die during a battle with Johnny Cage, Kano, and Sonya, but he wasn't really dead, rather he went into seclusion to reflect on his defeat.

He'd return to seek a rematch against Liu Kang, however the alarming news of his people's war with the Centaurians called his attention. It was during this time that Kitana was able to make a peace treaty between Edenia and Kuatan, despite being interrupted by Kung Lao whom wanted revenge for Goro murdering the Great Kung Lao. Kung Lao left a scar on Goro's chest and the two considered themselves even.

Goro and the Shokans would ally with Kitana against Shao Kahn, but Goro would be struck down during battle against Noob Saibot whom was sent by Shao Kahn to get rid of his former ally. After the revival of the Dragon King, Shao Kahn would find himself saving Goro's life despite trying to end it earlier. Out of honor, Goro was in Shao Kahn's debt and aided him against the Dragon King.
