Mortal Kombat 1 (2023 Video Game)

Jacob Craner: Havik

Quotes 

• General Shao : You won the war, but you will lose the aftermath.

  Havik : Because I won't impose your brand of order?

• Havik : Quan Chi's defeat had cost me everything. For months I had furthered his plot, and now I had to start over. Seido's people were still in chains. That's when Rain approached me. On the run from Empress Mileena, he was desperate for help. And though I'd had my fill of sorcerers, this one was different. I agreed to provide him safe haven. He agreed to help topple Seido's government. And topple it we did. Rain summoned a wave so vast, so powerful, that it crushed the capital. Seido's fascist ruler were swept away. My people are finally free. They can chart their own course, needing only to follow their own desires. Their lives are now blessed by anarchy.

• Reptile : Return to Seido, Dairou.

  Havik : Where did you learn my real name?

• Havik : Produce Hotaru or watch Outworld burn.

  Mileena : Seidan refugees will not be returned.

• Sub-Zero : You rebelled against your betters?

  Havik : Hotaru and his ilk are not my betters.

• Johnny Cage : As ring names go, Havik's a wee bit on the nose.

  Havik : My given name didn't inspire the necessary fear.

• Havik : I thought you were a fellow traveler.

  Shang Tsung : In that, as in other things, you are wrong.

• Havik : You don't take me seriously?

  Johnny Cage : Have you looked in a mirror?

• Havik : You don't approve of what I did at Seido's capital?

  Shang Tsung : I have no taste for senseless destruction.

• Havik : We all bleed the same color.

  Shang Tsung : And yet, I'm your superior.

• Havik : You would terminate our agreement?

  Shang Tsung : I plan also to terminate you.

• Rain : Seido is destroyed. Now what?

  Havik : It's time to rebuild and rechristen it Chaosrealm.

• General Shao : Laying waste to Seido was a masterstroke.

  Havik : I didn't think it would earn your respect.

• Ashrah : What purpose is served by killing innocents?

  Havik : Their deaths pave the way for freedom.

• Baraka : I can smell the blood on your hands.

  Havik : What you smell is liberation.

• Rain : I want nothing else to do with you, Havik.

  Havik : That water has already spilled out.

• Reiko : I can wound you faster than you can heal

  Havik : No you can't.

• Kitana : Societies need rules, need order.

  Havik : Only to protect the privileged, Princess.

• Liu Kang : What is left of Seido's government will negotiate.

  Havik : Negotiate? I'm dictating terms.

• Liu Kang : I force no one! Mortals choose to follow me.

  Havik : Making you their master, which makes them slaves.

• General Shao : Swear fealty and I can help you.

  Havik : I'll die before I owe allegiance to anyone!

• Havik : We were both played for fools.

  Sub-Zero : Shang Tsung and Quan Chi will pay.

• General Shao : Don't bring your campaign to Outworld, Havik.

  Havik : Why not? Its people need freedom, too.

• Havik : I can offer your army refuge in Seido.

  General Shao : Outworld soldiers never retreat!

• Havik : How will your rule be less oppressive than Sindel's?

  General Shao : Because Outworld won't genuflect to Liu Kang any longer.

• Havik : I can't wait for the chaos Onaga will unleash.

  General Shao : You know I plan to release him?

• Havik : Mature adults don't need leaders.

  General Shao : But most aren't, which is why they do.

• Omni-Man : Viltrumite rule brings order and control

  Havik : Two things which no one needs.

• Omni-Man : Resistance is boneheaded, which suits you.

  Havik : I'd rather die than submit to oppression.

• Quan Chi : Your victory over Seido isn't complete.

  Havik : What have I missed, Quan Chi.

• Quan Chi : You turned to Rain in my absence?

  Havik : He was more than up to the task.

• Quan Chi : There are more Netherrealm secrets I can share with you.

  Havik : I'll find them on my own, sorcerer.

• Quan Chi : You still owe me, Havik.

  Havik : Any debt I had has been paid in full.

• Sindel : I won't abide rabble who screech revolution.

  Havik : Then chaos and carnage will be my solution.

• Geras : You unleash forces you can't control.

  Havik : Exactly, Geras.

• Havik : Shall we let slip the dogs of war?

  Johnny Cage : I'm gonna make you cry, Havik.

• Johnny Cage : You are one ugly mother...

  Havik : My face won't be the only thing you dread.

• Havik : [Havik 1]  Anarchy is order!

  Havik : [Havik 2]  And government is war.

• Havik : If you're Liu Kang's ally, you're my enemy.

  Kenshi : Then we're enemies, Havik.

• Sub-Zero : You have a problem with ice?

  Havik : Water must flow freely, Sub-Zero.

• Sub-Zero : Anarchy serves no one.

  Havik : It's the oppressed's only hope, Sub-Zero.

• Sub-Zero : Order's preservation demands swift justice.

  Havik : But not severe punishment for petty crimes.

• [Custom AI Intros] 

  Havik : I'll kill you, and take your titan powers, Liu Kang.

  Liu Kang : You do not possess the might the defeat me.

• Raiden : Your uprising is killing innocent Seidans.

  Havik : Innocent? They are all oppressors!

• Sindel : All of Outworld knows I want them to thrive!

  Havik : A lie isn't made truth because most accept it.

• Shang Tsung : I want your ability to self-heal.

  Havik : Don't ask me, ask Quan Chi.

• [Kriss reacting] 

  Ashrah : Quan Chi is close. The emanations of his evil grow stronger.

  Baraka : That is a powerful weapon.

  Ashrah : And my perfect ally. As I smite the evil it finds, I am further purified.

  Johnny Cage : Now I've down steps, so I'm all for self-help. But since when does a demoness want to be less evil?

  Ashrah : I had spent eternity damned to the Netherrealm. I had assumed that's all there was to existence. But when I saw Earthrealm, saw Outworld. Saw there was a better way to live. And that to have it, I needed to cleanse my soul. My sister demons were furious at my change of heart. Kia and Jataaka were the first to hunt me.

  Reptile : Quan Chi is also a demon?

  Ashrah : Actually, he's an Outworlder. But he mastered the dark magic needed for unfettered travel to my realm.

  [insect buzzing. Reptile's tongue snaps. Crunching sounds] 

  Johnny Cage : Any idea how he buddled up with Shang Tsung?

  Ashrah : They share a common benefactor. She plucked them both from obscurity, taught them everything they know. I've never met her, but there's no question that she is a sorcererss beyond compare.

  [Kriss reacting] 

  Ashrah : Quan Chi is near.

  Quan Chi : I am ready for your contributions. Execellent, Nitara. I need yours as well.

  Havik : Darrius and I have been thinking, sorcerer...

  Quan Chi : Do not try to renegotiate, Havik.

  Havik : We need proof that you'll deliver.

  Sareena : That he's delivered for Nitara's Vaeternians is all the proof you need.

  Nitara : Sareena's right. But of Quan Chi's magic, my realm's people are no longer poisoned by sunlight. We have finally escaped the shadows.

  Quan Chi : Rest assured. The spells you will receive will bring down Orderrealm's government.

  Havik : When will we have them, Quan Chi?

  Quan Chi : After the attack on Earthrealm... which could be called off if the soul stealer's efficacy isn't demonstrated promptly.

  [Quan Chi chanting in the distance] 

  Johnny Cage : Well this plot just got thicker.

  Ashrah : Earthrealm is in grave danger. Just one soul stealer can kill hundreds of thousands. If he unleashes a battery of them...

  Baraka : Millions will die.

  Kung Lao : He must be stopped.

  Ashrah : I will deal with Quan Chi. The four of you subdue the others.

  Johnny Cage : Whoa there, big fella. This stop's where you get off.

  Kenshi : You heard her! Millions could die.

• Peacemaker : I'm gonna do this place a favor and kill your ass.

  Havik : [mocking laughter]  Good luck.

• Peacemaker : How did you get that fugly face?

  Havik : "Fugly"? What does that mean?

• [Custom AI Intro Dialogues collab with Chhai Tea and OddgaintAF] 

  Havik : I don't know what was in the snow, but my skin has never been clearer.

  Reptile : You might want to rethink that statement.

  [CLASH] 

  Darrius : What's that supposed to mean?

  Reptile : You don't want to know!

  Frost : You know they make skincare products for that, right?

  Havik : Fuck that, I'm laying back in the snow.

• [Custom AI Dialogues from Chhai Tea] 

  Nitara : Having a hard time inciting chaos in Seido?

  Havik : still simping for team Jacob, Harpy?

  [CLASH] 

  Shujinko : Who is Team Jacob?

  Havik : I'll explain later.

  Kung Lao : Taking notes from Cage, I see.

  Nitara : Still doesn't neck-gate my point.

  Kung Lao : Fuck off, stupid bat!

• [Custom AI Intro Dialogues from Chhai Tea] 

  Havik : Your voice, it's strangely... C-captivating!

  Nitara : Can't get enough of me? Come here, I'll show you more.

  [CLASH] 

  Frost : How are you making him do that?

  Nitara : A Vampire never reveals her secret.

  Motaro : Are you seriously falling for that?

  Havik : My lovely Nitara.

• Havik : Why do you care what happened to Seido?

  Ermac : We have friends among the dead.

• Ermac : Your souls scream to be set free.

  Havik : You will not be their liberator.

• Havik : I'll destroy you just to spite Quan Chi.

  Ermac : Our fate is irrelevant to him.

• Havik : You wouldn't exist if it weren't for me.

  Ermac : Which earns you no loyalty, Havik.
