Storyline
Chameleon is possibly a part of the Saurian race, of which Reptile and Khameleon are from. He has even shared similar features with Khameleon in both of their appearances, furthering the speculation.
If he is a Saurian, that would mean that Reptile is not the last living male of his species, which had been previously stated in Khameleon's biography screen.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3/Mortal Kombat Trilogy
By his inclusion in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, it can be inferred that Chameleon played some role in Shao Kahn's invasion of Earthrealm. All that is known of his involvement is that he was considered "one of Shao Kahn's deadliest warriors."
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
In Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, he is finally given a rather vague backstory, stating that he had been present at events dating all the way back to Liu Kang's victory in the first Mortal Kombat tournament, constantly remaining hidden in the shadows and biding his time while watching the events unfold.
Chameleon fights for the Forces of Darkness in the Battle of Armageddon and meets his end like most of the other fighters.
Endings
- Armageddon (Non-Canonical): "As the battle raged, Chameleon camouflaged himself and raced to the top of the pyramid unseen. There he defeated Blaze and the ethereal power overtook him. Immortality was now his! Though he had been ever-present throughout the crises of the realms, from Liu Kang's first victory to the return of the Dragon King, he had remained hidden from sight, waiting for his moment to come. That moment had arrived. From this day forth, the realms will know Chameleon as the true champion of Mortal Kombat!"
