Biography

Original Timeline

Bi-Han (Chinese language: 壁寒; pinyin: Bì Hán; meaning "Cold Wall") was a male human who along with his brother Kwa Kiang were kidnapped by the Lin Kuei. Once there, they went through the training to make them powerful warriors that were dispatched on missions. Bi-Hans training was complete where he developed ice manipulation powers in addition to his martial arts prowess. He then took the code name where he became a famed Lin Kuei warrior known as Sub-Zero. At some point, his clan was hired by the sorcerer Quan Chi to recover a scroll for the Temple of the Elements. On his mission at a Buddhist temple, he found the map and encountered the Shirai Ryu warrior Scorpion. During the fight, he killed his opponent and returned with the scroll that he brought to the Grandmaster. In exchange for the Lin Kueis help, Quan Chi conducted his part of their arrangement whereby he had massacred the entirety of the Shirai Ryu clan. With his success, the Grandmaster sent Sub-Zero to the Temple of the Elements to recover an Amulet. On his mission, Sub-Zero battled numerous elemental guardians of the temple that included Fujin. Upon the completion of his mission, Quan Chi took custody of the Amulet and departed through a portal. It was then that Raiden appeared before the Lin Kuei warrior and told him the error of his ways namely that the Amulet belonged to the fallen Elder Gods. The Amulets capture meant that the entirety of Earthrealm was threatened because of his actions. As a result, Sub-Zero went through the portal and found himself in the Netherrealm. In the Netherrealm, he battled numerous of its inhabitants as he pursued Quan Chi and battled his followers. Sub-Zero later convinced the female demon Sareena to aid him and she betrayed Quan Chi whilst asking Bi-Han if he could take her away to Earthrealm. She was then felled by Shinnok who had re-acquired his Amulet leading to a confrontation with the Lin Kuei warrior. Sub-Zero was ultimately able to take the Amulet from Shinnok and escaped through the portal back to Earthrealm. Once there, he left the Amulet back into the safekeeping hands of Raiden and departed back to the Lin Kuei. After returning, he was informed by the Grandmaster of a new mission as the clan had been hired by a new client. This client was the sorcerer Shang Tsung who desired warriors to participate in the Mortal Kombat Tournament.

Sub-Zero then attended the tournament where he participated in the conflict only to be confronted by the now hellspawn reborn Scorpion who killed Bi-Han. After his death, Bi-Han fell through the darkest region of reality namely the Netherrealm where he was transformed into an undead revenant named Noob Saibot. As Saibot, he joined the Brotherhood of Shadow who worshipped the fallen Elder God Shinnok. One of his missions was to be deployed as a spy during the second Mortal Kombat Tournament in Outworld where he reported back to his masters. Noob Saibot served as an assassin that followed the orders of Shao Kahn and dispatched by the Emperor to eliminate those that posed a threat to his rule. In this time, his brother Kuai Ling followed in Bi-Han's footsteps and took the name Sub-Zero. During this time, Saibot added the Earth Warriors in helping to overthrow Shao Kahn. Following Shao Kahn's defeat, Shinnok was re-united with his mystical Amulet and began his assault against the realms. In this time, he returned to his master's side and operated as a General in Shinnok's Army of Darkness. After Shinnok's defeat, Noob Saibot sought to bring his own ascension to power and intended to create a legion of assassins that were loyal to him so that he could pursue his destiny. Whilst at Outworld, he journeyed to the abandoned fortress of Shao Kahn where he discovered within the prison cells the cyborg ninja Smoke. The inoperative warrior had been taken as a war trophy by Kahn since the failed invasion of Earthrealm. Noob Saibot managed to reactivate the nanotechnology within Smoke allowing his body to be repair and reshaped with the cyborg becoming his first ally in his quest. Afterwards, Smoke had successfully turned a number of warriors into cyber demons and together with Noob Saibot they staged an assault on the Lin Kuei temple at Arctika. They were repulsed by Sub-Zero and the Edenian demi-god Taven. Sub-Zero took the defeated Noob Saibot in the hope of purging the evil in his brothers body along with that darkness in Smoke. Though Smoke was cured, Saibot remained evil and he later escaped to participate in the events of the Armageddon.

Reboot Timeline

During the Armageddon, Shao Kahn was the victor which led to the destruction of all of reality. In his final moments, Raiden sent his memories back in time to his earlier self. These events were shown as scattered visions to the younger Raiden at the time of the Mortal Kombat Tournament. With these visions, Raiden sought to avert this future creating a new timeline.

Despite his seeming death, he survived the Soulnado and came to serve the Titan Kronika in exchange for a place in her New Era. The Keeper of Time intended to change the timeline of the realms to create a new universe that was balanced the realm according to her vision. Noob Saibot then helped defend her operations where he arrived the Cyber Lin Kuei factory after it was infiltrated by Sub-Zero and Scorpion. This led to him battling his younger brother and his foe but was defeated by the pair where he managed to escape the site with his allies.
