Sektor

Sektor is a character from the Mortal Kombat series.
==Charactah Account==
Volunteering for the automation process out of loyalty, Sektor was the first cyborg assassin created by the Lin Kuei. Utterly ruthless, uncompromising and having no hint of emotion. He was the embodiment of what the clan was attempting to accomplish.
Sektor 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.
Even in his human form, Sektor was utterly devoted to the Lin Kuei clan and, unlike Cyrax, Sub-Zero, and Smoke, never questioned or resisted the cyberization process. He is capable of independent thought and action like Cyrax and Smoke; however, unlike the other two cyborgs, the only emotions Sektor really displays are anger and ruthlessness.

==Trivia==
*Sektor and Cyrax's design was in part inspired by Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Predator (1987).
*Sektor and Kintaro are the only characters in the games leading up to Trilogy that are neither seen nor referenced in the first two Mortal Kombat films. Curiously, in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Smoke was depicted as a silver-colored version of Sektor in the film, as he was able to shoot missiles - instead of his three-pronged harpoon - from his chest.
*Although stated to be devoid of emotions, Sektor shows considerable arrogance and rage in Armageddon's Konquest mode. The explanation for this is that the programming of Sektor is deteriorating.
**Also, even though he only shows anger because of this, in MK 2011, he laughs when his Rocket Punch connects, as well as when he is about to perform a Fatality.
*Deception's Konquest mode depicts Sektor as speaking in third person, while in Armageddon's Konquest mode, he speaks in the first person.
*Sektor is the first of three Lin Kuei assassins to willingly undergo cyberization from the Cyber Initiative, the second being Triborg, with Frost being the third. All previous Lin Kuei who had been cyberized had been converted against their will.
*In Mortal Kombat: Legacy, Cyrax appears with his MK 2011 design while Sektor does not. Sektor simply utilizes Cyrax's design but re-colored red.
*Sektor is one of the few characters to be dead in both the original and current timelines.
*Unlike Cyrax and Smoke in MK3 and UMK3, Sektor is the only cyborg to have Fatalities that don't kill him along with the opponent. Both Cyrax's Explosion and Smoke's Oblivion Fatalities in MK3 show both characters getting killed along with the opponent they beat. Sektor's Fatalities on the other hand only kill the opponent, not himself with them.
*In Mortal Kombat 3 and its updates, Sektor is the only cybernetic ninja to have a unique versus portrait.
*In MK3, despite having been clearly stated in his biography to be soulless, Sektor can still produce a soul during Kabal's Freaky Face Fatality. However, this is merely a gameplay mechanic.
*In Sektor's Mortal Kombat Gold ending, when he is shooting missiles at Sonya, Jax, and Cyrax, a couple of original MK3 voice samples can be heard in the background.
*In Deception's Konquest mode, attacking Sektor will cause him to proclaim "ERROR, ERROR." Also, instead of oil coming out of him as it usually would, Sektor bleeds normal human blood when attacked.
* In the Konquest Mode for Armageddon, Sektor can be attacked in the first part right when the mode starts. If the player keeps punching around, they'll hit something and a health bar with Sektor's name will appear. Whether or not this is a glitch is still a mystery.
*In Sektor's ending, he, Cyrax, and Smoke merged together and became one mind through the power of Blaze. This might serve as the basis of the concept behind Triborg.
*Sektor and Noob Saibot are the most commonly fought enemy in the Story Mode, being fought five times each.
*It was revealed that Sektor had long embraced modern day weaponry before his automation. His alternate human form, along with Cyrax's, were given unique animations for their special moves separate of their cyborg forms. Sektor utilized wrist-mounted flamethrowers with portable missile launchers. The only supernatural ability he utilized was to warp himself close to his opponent for a surprise attack.
*Sektor and Cyrax received Klassic Costumes, the first free DLC for the game.
*According to his bio in MK 2011, Sektor is the son of the Lin Kuei Grandmaster.
*When Kenshi performs his Scatterbrained Fatality on Sektor in his human form, Sektor's eyes do not pop out on the third impact. This may be a glitch since Cyrax's eyes pop out.
*Through his dialogue after being transformed, it can be inferred that Sektor was the only ninja not given any slaving protocols. This is probably because he was in favor of the initiative, as well as his blood relation to the Grandmaster.
*Sektor, along with Cyrax, are the only two characters with two different battle cries and health bar images due to both their cyborg and human forms.
*Sektor is one of the three characters, along with Kitana and Kenshi, whose X-Ray Move is activated as a projectile.
*Sektor's severed head cameos in the game's Story Mode during Scorpion's Chapter. It is revealed during this that he had allied with Quan Chi in the slaughter of Scorpion's family and clan.
*Sektor's severed head would cameo again in the reveal trailer for the game's Kombat Pack 2, where he would be one of four cyberzied Lin Kuei integrated into the DLC fighter Triborg.
*In the DC fighting game Injustice 2, although he is not mentioned by Sub-Zero or Raiden who are featured as playable guest characters, Sektor is referenced as one of Sub-Zero's shaders, a red shader called Cyber Initiative (Alternate).
**Additionally, Sektor's name also appears on some of Sub-Zero's gear.
* Sektor reappears in the game's Story Mode alongside Cyrax as non-playable, fightable characters.
** The two also appear in the Towers of Time both as physical and non-physical support modifiers.
* It is revealed that Johnny Cage was unaware of Sektor still being alive during the Netherrealm invasion of Earthrealm, only to discover he was killed by a restored Sub-Zero after the invasion.
* Despite being the Grandmaster of Cyber Lin Kuei, a now cyberized Frost takes over as the Cyber Lin Kuei's Grandmaster from Sektor.
* In MK 2011, when teleporting into the match for his intro, there's a chance that his wire hair will stretch out and glitch when teleporting in. This also happens in his human form.
* In MK 2011, if Sektor is in his human form when a Babality is performed on him, he will cry tears of oil like is cyborg form. This is likely an oversight error.
