📖 Biography
Sub-Zero is the legendary ice-wielding warrior of Mortal Kombat, with the mantle most famously carried by Kuai Liang. A member of the Lin Kuei clan, Kuai Liang inherited the Sub-Zero identity from his older brother Bi-Han and became a formidable fighter in his own right. Although he has sometimes been portrayed as a ruthless opponent, Kuai Liang is generally driven by honor, loyalty, and a desire to protect his clan from corruption. His mastery of cryomancy and martial arts makes him one of the most dangerous combatants in the Mortal Kombat universe.
