Bi-Han – The Original Sub-Zero

Full Name: Bi-Han
Alias: Sub-Zero

Alignment: Neutral (Leaning Towards Ruthless)
Fighting Style: Traditional Lin Kuei Assassin Techniques, Cryomancy
Weapons: Ice Daggers, Ice Sword

Bi-Han was the eldest of two brothers born into the Lin Kuei, an ancient clan of assassins that valued strength, efficiency, and absolute loyalty. Unlike his younger brother Kuai Liang, Bi-Han embraced the Lin Kuei's brutal philosophy, believing that mercy was a weakness and that power was the only thing that truly mattered.

From a young age, Bi-Han trained rigorously in the art of assassination, quickly rising through the ranks due to his unparalleled mastery of cryomancy—the ability to control and manipulate ice. He became the most feared warrior of the Lin Kuei, earning the title of Sub-Zero, a name that struck fear into both enemies and allies alike.

• Mortal Kombat 1: "As the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster, Sub-Zero leads his ancient warrior clan in 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 see 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."
