Assassin (Fate/Crossover - Noob Saibot)

**Assassin** (アサシン, *Asashin*) is the servant of Izaya Orihara in the ??? Holy Grail War.

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Bi-Han** (壁寒), better known as **Noob Saibot**. Once one of the most powerful and devout warriors of the Lin Kuei, Bi-Han held the title of Sub-Zero. On one of his missions, Bi-Han dueled Shirai Ryu rival Scorpion to the death, when the latter came to him to avenge his murdered clan. He emerged victorious, and he would go on to become a participant in the Mortal Kombat Tournament. He would face the resurrected Scorpion once more who, consumed by vengeance, murdered him. Resurrected by the dark sorcerer Quan Chi, who had previously resurrected Scorpion as well, Bi-Han was purged of his humanity and transformed into the shadowy wraith, Noob Saibot. His brother Kuai Liang would go on to adopt the Sub-Zero mantle.

### Relationships

#### **Izaya Orihara**

Assassin and Izaya have a somewhat tenuous working relationship, the former as the brawn and the later as the brains. Most of the unease is on Assassin's part, as he sees his master as an unpredictable wild card, though this feeling is unrequited, as Izaya quite enjoys his servant's company. He tends to find Izaya's idiosyncrasies rather unamusing, but is willing to humor him for the sake of their partnership, such as indulging him by playing along with his personal board games. Assassin acts as a voice of reason to Izaya whenever he lets his impulses for messing with others get the better of him, especially whenever Assassin feels it would hinder their plans in the long term.

#### **Sub-Zero**

His younger brother and heir to the Sub-Zero mantle, both Bi-Han and Kuai Liang no longer regard each other as family. Bi-Han views him as a disappointment as the Lin Kuei's Grandmaster.

#### **Scorpion**

Both Assassins have had a long, sordid history as mortal enemies since both of them were alive. As Sub-Zero, Bi-Han killed Scorpion when he sought revenge for the demise of the Shirai Ryu. When Scorpion was resurrected by Quan Chi and killed *him* in return, Quan Chi would also resurrect Bi-Han as his minion. They would serve as partners under Quan Chi until he was defeated by Nightwolf and Scorpion had his humanity restored.

## Role

Summoned as the Assassin-class servant of Izaya Orihara, Assassin and Izaya agree to form a mutual partnership to win the ??? Holy Grail War. Izaya's contacts would provide them with the necessary intelligence on the other Masters and Servants so that Assassin could go in for the kill.

## Abilities

An highly talented and trained kombatant, thief and spy even before becoming a wraith, Assassin is a master of Hapkido, Pi Gua, and Monkey-style Kung-Fu. In life before becoming a wraith, he was a cryomancer of equally great skill, able to easily deep freeze opponents at temperatures even beyond absolute zero.

### Noble Phantasm

#### Shadow of the Netherrealm

The maifestation of Assassin's phantom powers, Assassin possesses shadow elemental powers, able to completely manipulate it. He can use this to teleport, summon clones, cloak himself in shadows to turn invisible, morph into an oily-liquid state, revive the dead as revenants, consume or enslave the souls of his victims, and enhance or weaken the effectiveness of his and others' powers. His Wraith physiology also grants him immortality similar to Scorpion, meaning he cannot be stopped unless his spiritual core is completely destroyed.
