Characters
Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) is the newly appointed Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei. He is ambitious, arrogant, and eager to break from tradition, viewing it as a shackle. He can be cruel and dismissive, especially towards Smoke, whom he belittles for not being of Lin Kuei blood. Scorpion (Kuai Liang) is more level-headed and traditional, believing their late father's teachings should continue to guide the clan. He acts as a voice of reason against his brother's rashness. Smoke (Tomas) is an adopted member of the clan who is loyal to its traditions. He is in a subordinate position and is deeply hurt by Sub-Zero's verbal attacks on his lineage and place within the clan.
