    Biography

    “Power” — Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei

    As the Lin Kuei’s Grandmaster, Sub-Zero leads his ancient warrior clan in the defense of Earthrealm from external threats. For centuries, it has been their solemn task.

    But Earthrealm hasn’t been threatened in generations, and Sub-Zero sees no point in limiting his clan to preparing for dangers that may never come. Under his leadership, the Lin Kuei will come out of the shadows and fight for its place as one of Earthrealm’s great nations.

    I had broken the Lin Kuei free of Liu Kang’s enslavement. We were now masters of our destiny and could take our place among Earthrealm’s great nations. But taking and holding territory would require a vast army. I needed more fighters to make our presence felt.

    Then I recalled Shang Tsung’s dragon warriors. An army of them would be unstoppable. But trafficking in such strong magic would surely draw Liu Kang’s attention. Sektor advised that we avoid detection by building our own army using science, not sorcery.

    We’ve invested much into this endeavor, and we are beginning to see results. Once again proving the depths of Sektor’s genius. When we are done, all of Earthrealm will honor our desires and heed our demands. If not, they will face the Lin Kuei’s wrath.
