Noob Saibot is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series.

About Noob Saibot

From the darkest of all realms, the Netherealm, emerges Noob Saibot, who is considered by many to be the master of shadows. Although a wraith, his origins show that he was something else before becoming what he is today. He was once a proud Lin Kuei warrior, and the elder of two brothers who shared the same name - Sub-Zero.
Before his death, he was told by Quan Chi that his soul carried an evil taint, which could cause him to become fully corrupted to evil once he was killed. And so he was - after his death at the hands of the ninja spectre Scorpion. While the specific details of Sub-Zero's death were unknown at the time, it was revealed that he was sent to the Netherealm and the evil seed within his soul was unleashed, stripping him of everything "human". Seemingly retaining no memories of his former life, Sub-Zero the elder became the evil wraith known as Noob Saibot.

His most recent accomplishment has been to reprogram Smoke and use him as a template to create an army of cyber demons.

Storyline

As the Original Sub-Zero

Like his name, clothes, and powers suggested, his character was icy and distant. In all aspects, he was a cold-blooded killer with an utmost dedication to the principles of his clan, and to whomever had paid him to kill. Although essentially neutral, his soul possesses an evil taint brought about by his years as a remorseless killer.

It is unclear how the family line of Sub-Zero came to be part of the Lin Kuei clan, though it is speculated that their family had been a part of the clan for at least several generations.

It is known that the father of both brothers (the fourth man to be known as Sub-Zero in his lineage) was a secret operative for the clan in the United States. He married an American woman and together they had two sons and a daughter. Against the will of their mother, the father took the sons with him to move back to China at a certain time, and as such both brothers became warriors of the Lin Kuei. The mother and the daughter remained in the U.S.

He made his first chronological appearance in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero when the sorcerer Quan Chi hired the Lin Kuei to find an ancient amulet, and he was sent to find the map leading to its location. He did not know that Quan Chi had hired a Japanese ninja, Hanzo Hasashi, for the same task in case Sub-Zero failed. Hasashi and Sub-Zero encountered each other in the map room, where Sub-Zero killed Hasashi in cold blood. After Sub-Zero delivered the map, Quan Chi made good on a promise to the Lin Kuei Grandmaster; the rival clan of the Shirai Ryu were wiped out. This slaughter, combined with Sub-Zero's merciless execution of Hanzo, fueled the vengeful spectre form of Scorpion who would later participate in the Mortal Kombat tournaments.

After Sub-Zero delivered the amulet to Shinnok and Quan Chi, he was sent back to retrieve it by Earthrealm's protector, Raiden, who explained to him that the amulet was the key to releasing Shinnok. Sub-Zero stole the amulet from Shinnok and escaped the Netherealm.

Upon returning to the Lin Kuei headquarters, he learned that he had been invited to the Mortal Kombat tournament; he was also hired to kill the host of the tournament, Shang Tsung, by one of Tsung's wealthy enemies (it is generally assumed that this enemy was Quan Chi). If Sub-Zero accomplished his mission, Quan Chi would be rid of a rival, and in case Sub-Zero failed, this would compensate the necromancer for the loss of the amulet. During this tournament, the elder Sub-Zero faced the murderous spectre of Hanzo Hasashi (now known as Scorpion). In a malicious twist of fate, Scorpion murdered Sub-Zero, and the latter was sent to the Netherealm. There, he became Noob Saibot.

As Noob Saibot

In the Netherealm, Saibot would become a member of the Brotherhood of the Shadow, pledging allegiance and loyalty to Shinnok. One of his first tasks for his new lord would be to observe and report on the events taking place on Earthrealm and Outworld. During his service, he was encountered briefly in the Netherealm by his younger brother, and fought with him, only to escape.
