Geneviere "Jen" Reyland was the daughter of Baron Reyland and the girlfriend of Kung Lao in the television series Mortal Kombat: Conquest. Jen is portrayed by Jennifer Renton.

History[]

Jen was a beautiful girl who has apparently known Kung Lao for many years, as well as Siro, her father's personal bodyguard. Her father, Baron Reyland, was completely against his daughter's relationship with the Temple Warrior, claiming that since Jen was his "property", she can only be "taken" by a man with wealth. The reason for her father's grievance about his daughter having to marry a rich man was later revealed in the series' seventh episode "Debt of the Dragon": the Baron was in great debt from borrowing money from the Black Dragon (it is never revealed whether Jen knew about this or not) and had to have her marry a rich man in order to help pay off the debts.

Jen was in love with Kung Lao, so much so, that she defied her father's wishes and attempts to elope with him. She helped free Taja from her shackles and the two rescued Kung Lao from being executed. However, she was captured by her father's henchmen and used as bait to lure in Kung Lao, who was planning to pick her up in the night.

During the night, Kung Lao stepped into the trap and fought Takeda, since possessed by Scorpion, who was sent by Shang Tsung to kill Kung Lao for his soul. The fight ended with Jen being taken away by Takeda and Baron Reyland being killed by accident.

Jen was brought to the Temple of Order of Light and Takeda, now fully transformed into Scorpion, brainwashed two monks and waited for Kung Lao's arrival.

Kung Lao arrived on the scene and fought Scorpion. Jen tried to interfere the fight by attacking the spectre with a candle stand. Unfortunately, she was mortally wounded by Scorpion with a hellfire ball. After Scorpion was defeated and sent to the Netherrealm by Kung Lao, Jen briefly spoke with her lover and then died in his arms.

Before her death, Jen passed the key of her house, the trading post, and asked Kung Lao to inherit it as her final request. Later on, Kung Lao used it as his base of operations along with Taja and Siro.

In "Unholy Alliance", Shang Tsung and Quan Chi created an illusion of Jen to torment Kung Lao.

Trivia[]

  • In Mortal Kombat 1 during in intro dialogue Kung Lao ask Nitara about Jen's body and she replays she'll never find it, as it makes reference to Jennifer's Body, a cult classic horror-comedy starring Megan Fox as the titular character.
