Blaze was perhaps the most powerful being at the time of MK:A as he carries the ultimate power within him that can be absorbed by any warrior who managed to defeat and destroy him. He is also able to single-handedly cause Armageddon by devouring existence itself.

Blaze was originally called "Torch" by the developers. However, they were not able to use this name in the games due to Marvel holding the rights to the name as part of the Human Torch.

Blaze is the first of three Elementals to appear in the series. The second is Tremor and the third being the Elder Goddess Cetrion.

Moloch is a word which appears in the Hebrew Bible, associated with child sacrifice. Traditionally, the name Moloch has been understood as referring to a Canaanite god. However, since 1935, scholars have speculated that Moloch refers to the sacrifice itself.

Drahmin wears a mask, which is an artifact called the Face of Kun-Lo. Removing it causes him to go into Oni style where he loses his focus and attacks with murderous insanity.

[Daily MK Kharacters @dailykharacters]

In early prototypes of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, Drahmin had the Hapkido fighting style, which was given to Scorpion.

The original name for Drahmin was going to be Amon, after a biblical demon in keeping with the tradition of Moloch. It was changed during preproduction of Deadly Alliance.

[Daily MK Kharacters @dailykharacters]

Drahmin was not always a demon; as centuries ago, he was a cruel human warlord in Outworld. For his crimes, he died and was exiled to the Netherrealm where his body and soul were to be tortured for all eternity. As the years dragged on, he fell further and further into insanity.
