He is the one responsible for assigning missions to various clan members including the elder Sub-Zero who was charged with the mission of obtaining the Map of Elements from the Shaolin Temples. He also sent Sub-Zero on a task to assassinate Shang Tsung in the first Mortal Kombat tournament as well as his younger brother in the second tournament. However, after the events that took place in Outworld, he declared that the Lin Kuei should automate their ninjas in order to improve the efficiency of the clan.

Later on, until the events of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, he was killed by his son Sektor, who was made Grandmaster for a brief period of time. Sub-Zero challenged Sektor and defeated him, thus claiming leadership of the clan and vowing to make it a force for good.

In the alternate timeline, the Grandmaster is mentioned several times by Cyrax and in Sektor's MK 2011 ending, he is revealed as the father of Sektor, he is killed by his son, who claimed leadership of the Lin Kuei.

TriviaEdit
