Sektor is a character in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series.

About Sektor

Throughout the various Mortal Kombat games he was involved in, Sektor has grown into an ever more menacing mechanized warrior. He represents the closest thing to evil a cyborg can be, and combines traits of both a stealthy ninja and a ruthless killing machine fit for modern warfare. In contrast to his counterpart Cyrax, Sektor never bothered to rediscover his human side, and may be unable to. As far as this could be said about a cyborg, it is likely that he suffers from a form of insanity. He is capable of independent thought and action like Cyrax and Smoke, but unlike them, shows no sign of emotion. Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode depicts him as speaking in third person.

Storyline

When the Lin Kuei clan decided to automate their ninja in the events leading up to Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Sektor, out of loyalty, was their first member to volunteer to undergo the process, and would later appear to be their most successful creation yet. Designated unit LK-9T9, he was sent to find and kill the rogue clansman Sub-Zero. He attempted to complete this mission twice (during Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Gold), but never succeeded. Events would leave him as the only active cyborg remaining of the three created, with Smoke having been captured and shut down in an Outworld prison, and Cyrax having become a member of the Outer World Investigation Agency after his soul was restored.

Sometime during his travels to Edenia to find and kill Sub-Zero, as well as locate Cyrax, Sektor's circuits became corrupted, leaving him unstable. Subsequently, he returned to the Lin Kuei, defeated the Grandmaster, and claimed the Dragon Medallion and position as its head for himself. Sub-Zero, perceiving the threat of Sektor's leadership, returned to the Lin Kuei and battled him, claiming the title. After his defeat, Sektor went to Japan and formed the Tekunin, his own clan of cyborg ninja warriors.

Possible Future

His activities since that time have gone unknown, but with his imminent return in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, fans are likely to discover more.

Movie and TV appearances

Sektor made a brief appearance in the animated series, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm
. In the first episode, "Kombat Begins Again", Sektor and Cyrax led an attack on Earthrealm that was thwarted by Earth's warriors and Sub-Zero. Sektor had one line of dialogue during his confrontation with Kitana. Unmasked at one point, he was portrayed as black, with long Jamaican braids.

Trivia

Sektor's storyline in Mortal Kombat Gold appears to have been partially retconned. He was originally assigned to survey the actions of Cyrax, who had been recovered by the Lin Kuei clan, and seemed to be acting erratically. Since Cyrax was discovered by Jax
and Sonya
, his direct surveillance of Cyrax cannot have occurred.
In Sektor's ending in Mortal Kombat Gold, he walks into the room where Jax and Sonya are performing an operation on Cyrax. You can faintly hear Mortal Kombat Trilogy groans and grunts sound effects when he fires his missiles at the three.
Sektor and Cyrax are named "Ketchup" and "Mustard" in one of the images unlocked in Deadly Alliance's krypt. These were their development names during the production of Mortal Kombat 3.
