No the Lin Kuei were a group of assisians. From what I've seen of the Lin Kuei the oufits are varitied from one another , but still have a common Liu Luei look.When the Lin Luei were in still working force the Sub-Zeros where the only one of the Luei clan to use ice powers(before the Lin Kuei idisbanded the 1st time of course and before Frost joined), everyone else had there own speciality of killing,such as Smoke mastering smoke. I don't know about Cyrax and Sektor before they became cybers, but in the end they ended up having there own style , much like most of the unseen Luei clan.

before the HQ in deception, the Lin Kuei HQ was in the tibetan mts. then Sub took over and moved to an ice cave or something. Sektor and Cyrax probably used mechanincal weapons such as lasers, buzzsaws, or sniper rifles (as the MK2 comic hinted that the Lin Kuei were using advanced technology since the early 80's). they finally went over the top in MK3 with complete automation of their ninjas

Yeah, Sub-Zero ( the current one) tried to snipe Shang Tsung and Kintaro during the pre events of MK2. Lucky for them those bullets bounced off Tsungs and Kintaro's skin.

This is all true, but in deception you train under Sub very early in the game. Before the mk2 tournament and i believe even before the MK1 tournament.

My theory - that was Sub-Zero's grandfather.

I mean, the creators did bring up "training under Sub-Zero, or a relative of his." Therefore, it is my belief that the Sub-Zero you train under during the Konquest story is Sub-Zero's granddaddy.

Yes, in the gam faq I read, it said that you train under Sub-Zero's grand daddy. I wish they gave out the time line of every game so we knew what was what!
