Noob SaibotNoob Saibot is a character in the Mortal Kombat video gaming franchise. About Noob Saibot Noob Saibot was introduced in Mortal Kombat II as a secret, non-playable character about whom nothing more was known than the fact that he was completely black: his clothes, skin, face, everything. Later, it was revealed that he was a creature from the Netherealm, and more precisely a member of the Brotherhood of Shadow. As such, Noob Saibot's total darkness is both a symbol for his soul and his origin. He is an agent of purest evil, and it could be argued that he was instrumental in the demise of both Shao Kahn and Goro. His fanatical devotion to his purposes makes him a feared opponent. Storyline Waring: plot details or spoilers follow Noob Saibot, Sub-Zero's older brother, was actually the first Sub-Zero in the first Mortal Kombat. Noob Saibot has not always been Noob Saibot. Most demons or creatures who dwell in the Netherealm have not always been there. In a previous life, Noob Saibot was an assassin for the Chinese ninja clan, the Lin Kuei, and he was known by the codename Sub-Zero. In a perilous quest that would lead up to many events in the Mortal Kombat universe, Sub-Zero was to deliver an amulet to the necromancer Quan Chi. On his way, he encountered Scorpion, a ninja from the rival Shirai Ryu, and killed him. Scorpion returned as an undead with an unquenchable thirst for revenge, and killed Sub-Zero in the first Mortal Kombat tournament. The cycle was complete, and now Sub-Zero descended to the Netherealm, where he was stripped of his last vestiges of humanity, pride and compassion. There he continued following orders from Quan Chi. Noob Saibot was sent to Outworld to spy on the events between Outworld and Earthrealm at the command of Shinnok, a Fallen Elder God who had been banished to the Netherealm millions of years ago. After years of keeping a low profile, he was at first ordered by his superiors to side with Shao Kahn during the invasion of Earth. However, as the tables turned in favour of the Earthrealm warriors, Noob Saibot switched allegiances and joined the Earthrealm warriors in defeating Shao Kahn. Sensing that his time had come, Shinnok was freed from the Netherealm by Quan Chi and conquered Edenia. Noob Saibot was now in direct service of his overlord. However, despite all the careful planning, Shinnok was once again defeated by Raiden's forces and it is likely the Brothers of the Shadow were disbanded. Roaming across the realms, Noob Saibot found Shao Kahn again and was enlisted in his army. A few years later, in the events leading up to , he appeared out of nowhere during a battle between the armies of Edenia and the Shokan (lead by Kitana and Goro) and the Outworld army (lead by Kano). He attacked Goro, and despite a fierce fight, the Shokan prince was mortally wounded and later died. This would cause an eventual draw between both armies. Noob Saibot was slowly changing from a pawn into a player. The Deadly Alliance rose and fell a part, and Onaga returned to Outworld. Although Noob Saibot showed allegiance to Onaga, in secret he was amassing an army to conquer himself. He was aided in this by Smoke, whom Noob Saibot had discovered in the bowels of Shao Kahn's former fortress, and reprogrammed to become a template for a projected army of cyber-demons. Movie appearance Although he was never mentioned by his name, Noob Saibot emerges from Ermac's body to double team on Sonya in the final battles. In the end he's killed by Jax who comes to her rescue. Misc stuff Noob Saibot is actually 'Boon' and 'Tobias' backwards, named so after the original creators of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon and John Tobias. In Mortal Kombat 3, Noob Saibot is not just a fully black 'ninja' palette swap, but is actually a completely black version of Kano, because there are no 'ninjas' in MK3.
