Link Kuei Grandmaster is from the Mortal Kombat video game franchise. He makes his first physical appearance in the prequel Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.
Overview
Original Timeline
The Lin Kuei Grandmaster was the leader of the Lin Kuei clan of warriors. He was responsible for assigning missions to the clan's members. He assigned the clan's greatest assassin, Sub-Zero, the mission of recovering the Map of Elements. The grandmaster made a deal with the sorcerer Quan Chi. In exchange for the Map of Elements, Quan Chi annihilated the Shira Ryu who were rivals of the Lin Kuei. The Shira Ryu's leader, Scorpion, was also killed. The grandmaster then sent Sub- Zero to recover the amulet of Shinnok. In the end, the amulet was taken away by Quan Chi.
After the unsuccessful mission regarding Shinnok's amulet, Sub-Zero was invited to take part in the Mortal Kombat tournament. The grandmaster sent Sub-Zero in assassinate Shang Tsung who was the leader of Mortal Kombat. Sub-Zero failed and returned to the Lin Kuei.
After Mortal Kombat took place in Outworld, the grandmaster decreed that the Lin Kuei should be automated into cyborgs. He saw this as an opportunity to improve the efficiency of the clan. Everyone, except for the grandmaster and Sub-Zero's younger brother became cyborgs who were immune to human emotions. Sub-Zero's younger brother, Kuai Liang, managed to escape.
During the event of when Shang Tsung and Quan Chi became allies, the grandmaster was assassinated by his own son Sektor. As the replacement, Sektor became the Lin Kuei's new grandmaster. Sektor's victory was short lived. He was approached by Kuai Liang. The warriors engaged in battle for the title of grandmaster. Kuai Liang won and took over the role as grandmaster of the Lin Kuei. As the new grandmaster, Kuai Liang vowed to turn the Lin Kuei into a force of good.
Rebooted Timeline
In the rebooted timeline, the grandmaster is not responsible for the automation of the Lin Kuei clan. He is still killed by his son, Sektor. After claiming leadership of the Lin Kuei, Sektor authorizes the automation of the entire clan. He is later killed by Sub-Zero's younger brother, Kuai Liang, who managed to escape automation. Kuai Liang takes the new role as leader of the Lin Kuei.
In a flashback, the grandmaster made a deal with Quan Chi to exterminate the Shirai Ryu clan. As payment for Quan Chi's services, the Elder Sub-Zero retrieved Shinnok's amulet and gave it Quan Chi. However, Quan Chi revived the entire Shirai Ryu as Revenants. After learning the truth, Kuai Liang tells Hanzo Hashashi and the two sides finally make peace.
