True Name: Sub-Zero 

Alignment: Lawful Neutral 

Original Series: Mortal Kombat

Lore: Sub-Zero, also known as Kuai Liang, is the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei, an ancient clan of assassins. Following the death of his elder brother Bi-Han, the original Sub-Zero, Kuai Liang inherited the mantle and swore to uphold the honor of the Lin Kuei. Unlike his brother, Kuai Liang tempered his assassin roots with justice and honor, transitioning the Lin Kuei from a force of mercenaries into protectors. Wielding cryomantic abilities that allow him to conjure and manipulate ice, Sub-Zero is a master swordsman whose strikes are as precise and cold as the blizzards he commands. 
Throughout the events of *Mortal Kombat 11*, Sub-Zero plays a vital role in resisting temporal disturbances, showing not only his strength but also his wisdom in leadership and diplomacy. His connection to both tradition and modernity makes him a unique and powerful warrior. Summoned as a Saber-class Servant, Sub-Zero's cryomantic mastery, combined with his honed martial prowess, makes him an overwhelming force in melee combat. He is a Servant that embodies both lethal precision and unwavering discipline.

Summoning Relic: A fragment of Sub-Zero's Frost Sword, retaining traces of his cryomantic energy.

Class Skills: 
-Magic Resistance (B): Sub-Zero's extensive training in cryomantic arts gives him resistance to magical effects, especially those relating to elemental manipulation. At this rank, Sub-Zero can negate most B-rank and lower spells with little difficulty. His affinity with ice-based magic also makes him naturally resistant to cold-based attacks, rendering ice magic practically ineffective against him. However, his resistance is not absolute; high-ranking spells that surpass his rank or those with exotic effects unrelated to elemental magic can still pose a challenge. This skill allows him to keep his focus on close combat without worrying about low-level interference. 

-Riding (D): Although Sub-Zero does not possess the expertise of a dedicated Rider, his skill in controlling various vehicles and piloting modern machinery, such as cybernetically enhanced Lin Kuei exosuits, grants him this moderate rank. He can efficiently operate most terrestrial vehicles and use them in combat situations if necessary. While not the focus of his skillset, this ability reflects the adaptability of the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster in both ancient and modern tactics. Though not a defining part of his combat strategy, it provides additional versatility when needed. 

Personal Skills: 
-Cryomancy (A): Sub-Zero's mastery over cryomancy is unparalleled, granting him complete control over ice. He can freeze the moisture in the air, form weapons from ice, and coat the battlefield in frost. This ability extends beyond mere offense—Sub-Zero can create ice clones to act as decoys, reinforce his body with layers of frozen armor, and even lower the temperature in an area to weaken opponents over time. His cryomancy is a natural extension of his martial prowess, allowing him to seamlessly integrate his elemental abilities with his swordsmanship. The versatility of this skill makes it a defining aspect of his combat style. 

-Cold-Blooded Discipline (B): This skill reflects Sub-Zero's unyielding focus and calm demeanor in even the most chaotic situations. He has trained himself to suppress emotions like anger or fear, giving him a sharp tactical edge in battle. Even when facing overwhelming odds, Sub-Zero remains composed, analyzing his opponent's weaknesses with precision. His cold-blooded nature also protects him from mental interference, such as fear-inducing abilities or emotional manipulation, allowing him to stay in control no matter the situation. This discipline makes him a difficult opponent to unsettle or deceive. 

-Lin Kuei Assassin (A): As the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei, Sub-Zero possesses the skills of a master assassin. This skill reflects his proficiency in stealth, hand-to-hand combat, and swordsmanship. He is capable of moving silently, leaving no trace of his presence until the moment he strikes. In combat, Sub-Zero uses misdirection and precise attacks to disable opponents swiftly. His experience as an assassin also makes him highly adept at reading his opponents, allowing him to predict their movements and counter them effectively. This skill represents the culmination of his training and experience as both a warrior and a leader. 

Noble Phantasms: 
-Name: Icebound Execution – Absolute Zero Strike
-Rank: C 
-Type: Anti-Unit 
-Ability: The *Icebound Execution* Noble Phantasm is the crystallization of Sub-Zero's mastery over cryomancy and swordsmanship. When activated, Sub-Zero channels the full extent of his cryomantic power into a single devastating sword strike. Upon impact, the target is instantly encased in an impenetrable block of ice that freezes them at the molecular level, halting all movement and function. The ice is so cold that it reaches near-absolute zero, making it virtually impossible to break or melt. Even magical or conceptual defenses struggle to resist the effects of this Noble Phantasm. 
The *Icebound Execution* is not just a simple freezing technique—it targets both the body and soul of the victim, ensuring that they are completely immobilized. If the frozen enemy is shattered, their existence is destroyed entirely, leaving no trace behind. However, the true danger of this Noble Phantasm lies in its precision. Sub-Zero can selectively target parts of an opponent's body, freezing them piece by piece to render them helpless without killing them immediately. This ability embodies Sub-Zero's philosophy of control, giving him complete dominion over his enemies in both life and death.
