About Sektor
Throughout the various Mortal Kombat games he was involved in, Sektor has grown into an ever more menacing mechanized warrior. He represents the closest thing to evil a cyborg can be, and combines traits of both a stealthy ninja and a ruthless killing machine fit for modern warfare. In contrast to his counterpart Cyrax, Sektor never bothered to rediscover his human side, and may be unable to. As far as this could be said about a cyborg, it is likely that he suffers from a form of insanity. He is capable of independent thought and action like Cyrax and Smoke, but unlike them, shows no sign of emotion. Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode depicts him as speaking in third person.
Storyline
When the Lin Kuei clan decided to automate their ninja in the events leading up to Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Sektor, out of loyalty, was their first member to volunteer to undergo the process, and would later appear to be their most successful creation yet. Designated unit LK-9T9, he was sent to find and kill the rogue clansman Sub-Zero. He attempted to complete this mission twice (during Mortal Kombat Trilogy and Gold), but never succeeded. Events would leave him as the only active cyborg remaining of the three created, with Smoke having been captured and shut down in an Outworld prison, and Cyrax having become a member of the Outer World Investigation Agency after his soul was restored.
Sometime during his travels to Edenia to find and kill Sub-Zero, as well as locate Cyrax, Sektor's circuits became corrupted, leaving him unstable. Subsequently, he returned to the Lin Kuei, defeated the Grandmaster, and claimed the Dragon Medallion and position as its head for himself. Sub-Zero, perceiving the threat of Sektor's leadership, returned to the Lin Kuei and battled him, claiming the title. After his defeat, Sektor went to Japan and formed the Tekunin, his own clan of cyborg ninja warriors.
Possible future
Sektor's new look for Mortal Kombat: ArmageddonHis activities since that time are largely unknown, but with his imminent return in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, fans are likely to discover more. One of the arenas in the upcoming title is called "Tekunin Warship", a sign that Sektor has grown powerful indeed.

Movie and TV appearances
Sektor made a brief appearance in the animated series, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm. In the first episode, "Kombat Begins Again", Sektor and Cyrax led an attack on Earthrealm that was thwarted by Earth's warriors and Sub-Zero. Sektor had one line of dialogue during his confrontation with Kitana. During a brief flashback scene in which he was unmasked, he was portrayed as a black man with long dreadlocks. His human form has never been described in canon.
Trivia
Sektor in Mortal Kombat 3Sektor's storyline in Mortal Kombat Gold appears to have been partially retconned. He was originally assigned to survey the actions of Cyrax, who had been recovered by the Lin Kuei clan and seemed to be acting erratically. Since it was later said that Cyrax had been discovered by Jax and Sonya, Sektor's direct surveillance of him could not have successfully occurred.
Sektor's appearance originally resembled an armored ninja; this appearance was used as a palette swap template for Cyrax and Smoke. This appearance was kept through Mortal Kombat Gold. After Mortal Kombat's transition into full 3D, which allowed for more non human design possibilities, the cyber ninja template changed with Cyrax in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. Sektor received an exact replica of Cyrax's design change with a red recolor; the lower body appears more mechanical, yet the head remains the same. Sektor retained this appearance in Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition. He will finally receive his own original design during Mortal Kombat Armageddon, leaving his helmet design the only visual link to Cyrax.
Sektor was named "Ketchup" during early production of Mortal Kombat 3. This development title is referenced in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance as the name of one of Cyrax's combos in his Sambo fighting style.
In the demo of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon's Konquest mode at E3, Sektor and the Tekunin are apparently trying to gain access to the artifacts owned by Taven's father. He captures Taven to gain information on his father and takes him to his warship, but Taven escapes when the Tekunin ship is attacked and destroyed by Sonya Blade's Special Forces air combat team.
In Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode, Sektor appears in the realm of Edenia and asks Shujinko to bring him a needed part from Orderrealm.
There is a noted similarity between the designs of both the Mortal Kombat cyborgs and the Predator, the alien from the epynomous movie. Certain elements of both characters armor resemble each other, and as for Sektor, he is shown using an active camoflague unit during Armageddon's Konquest mode.
Sektor is considered to be a high-tier, if not top-tier, character due to the quick recovery by his player of his special moves, his Teleport Uppercut most of all. As these moves have a devastatingly long recovery time for the opponent, a Sektor player could theoretically lock the opponent into a never-ending juggle loop, a fact made obvious in Mortal Kombat Gold (it is possible to effectively kill Goro in this game through a repeating Teleport Uppercut combo, if timed right, though the game's standard damage cap would prevent it from being truly infinite, unless the player turns it off).
Sektor, Kung Lao and Kintaro are the only characters in the games leading up to Trilogy that are neither seen nor referenced to in the first two Mortal Kombat films. | |
