In previous timelines, Noob Saibot, once known as Bi-Han, was the original Sub-Zero, a cold and ruthless Lin Kuei assassin. After his death at the hands of Scorpion, Bi-Han was resurrected in the Netherrealm by the sorcerer Quan Chi. Stripped of his humanity, he became Noob Saibot, a shadowy, vengeful wraith consumed by darkness. His primary goal is to serve his dark masters while seeking power for himself.
In Liu Kang's Timeline, however, Bi-Han's fate is avoided, though the drive to grow his own power and distance from the Clan's duty to protect the Earthrealm remains as an undercurrent. Nevertheless, Titan's Havik meddling has brought a version of Bi-Han that did succumb to the priest of Chaos, creating Noob Saibot.
Noob Saibot is poisoned by Havik's rhetoric, making him emotionless, sinister, and vengeful. He has little regard for others, driven by a desire to gain more power and wreak havoc upon those who wronged him. His transformation from Sub-Zero into a soulless specter has made him bitter and unforgiving.
As a quintessential shadow fighter, Noob Saibot focuses on manipulation and zoning. He excels at summoning shadow clones and using teleportation attacks. A healthy mix of low and overheads, as well as a solid amount of damage without amplifying attacks, rewards those who are willing to practice and put in the time necessary to learn Noob Saibot inside out.
Noob Saibot is shrouded in darkness, wearing black robes and armor that blend with the shadows. His skin is deathly pale, and his eyes are empty, reflecting his hollow, wraith-like existence.
