Lin Kuei

Lin Kuei is a faction from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series.
==Overview ==
Lin Kuei is loosely based on the ancient Chinese clan of the same name, just like the infamous Black Dragon Society of Japan (Kokuryūkai) was used in the Black Dragon of Kano. Although it has gradually changed from an evil force to a friendly force, it is always very concealed. Its history has been intertwined with the adventures of the Sub-Zero brothers. Eventually, the Lin Kuei is overtaken by the Cyber Initiative, which converts its warriors into cyborgs. However, the clan would be reformed by Kuai Liang into a far more honourable one, aiding in the defense of Earthrealm. In the second timeline, Sub-Zero is able to end the enmity between them and the Shirai Ryu.
In the New Era, rather than being founded as assassins, the Lin Kuei was created to be a defender of Earthrealm outright. In the modern day, the Grandmaster was the father of Sub-Zero, Scorpion and the adoptive father of Smoke, and his eldest would inherit the position after his passing.
