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. 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 are largely unknown, but with his imminent return in , fans are likely to discover more. One of the arenas in the upcoming title is called "Tekunin Warship", a sign that Sektor has grown powerful indeed.

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 it was later said that Cyrax had been discovered by Jax and Sonya, Sektor's direct surveillance of him could not have successfully occurred.
  • Sektor was named "Ketchup" during early production of Mortal Kombat 3.
  • In the demo of 's Konquest mode at E3, Sektor and the Tekunin are apparently trying to gain access to the artifacts owned by Taven's father. He captures Taven to gain information on his father and takes him to his warship, but Taven escapes when the Tekunin ship is attacked and destroyed by Sonya Blade's Special Forces air combat team.
  • In Konquest mode, Sektor appears in the realm of Edenia and asks Shujinko to bring him a needed part from Orderrealm.
  • There is a noted similarity between the designs of both the Mortal Kombat cyborgs and the Predator, the villian from the epynomous moviie. Certain elements of both characters armor resemble each other, and as for Sektor, he is shown using an active camoflague unit during Armageddon's Konquest mode.
