Is Scorpion just a glorified lackey?

I can't see Scorp and Noob ever getting along with one another long enough to make an effective team at anything. Bi-Han's too much of an asshole and Scorp certainly hasn't stopped hating his guts.
They'd probably spend the entire time going "You have no honor." "No, YOU have no honor!" "Well you can go to Hell." "We're already there!" "No thanks to you!" "You're the one who sent me here!" "You killed me first!" and on and on until they just start punching each other in the face.

I smell a sitcom.

What if Scorpion already knows Noob was Bi-Han

I doubt it. Scorpion always seems to be the last person to get the memo on these sort of things.

Noob isn't exactly keeping it a secret.
And like I said, he's a total asshole personality-wise. He'd probably walk right up to Scorpion and just for fun go "Hey guess what, I'm your old buddy Bi-Han. I'm standing right here and there's nothing you can do to me or the boss'll be pissed. P.S. thanks for killing me, I feel much more awesome now."

Noob also didn't tell Quan Chi he was just using him for the time being. Just because he told his younger brother so doesn't mean he has a motor mouth, as I do not believe he was taking any risks by being honest to him. So yeah, if Scorpion was of any use to him, Noob would keep the truth from him in order to manipulate him.
One thing I wanted to refute was the idea of Scorpion being deeper than the likes of Baraka, Reptile, Sheeva and other enforcers as a character. Let's analyse some of these enforcers.
Baraka: In the very first game he appeared, he already had his relationship with Mileena. Not that he couldn't have any depth without her, but the point is, he already had some thanks to her (and he also added some more depth to Mileena's character). His MK9 bio mentions this ritual of blood he passed. More opportunity to expand his character.
Reptile: The whole tragedy of being the last of his kind, until Khameleon came into the picture. She can contribute to making him more than a lackey, not that it's only possible through her. The loss of nearly his entire race is akin to Scorpion's loss of his clan and family.
Sheeva and Motaro: Their rivalry with one another, the conflict between the Shokans and the Centaurs. You could bring Kintaro in it, as well. There are so many other things that could be done with this story.
It'd be amazing if NRS even realized what potential these characters have. But I expect they'll keep insisting Scorpion is so much more than all of them combined as a character.

Quan Chi is Noob Saibot's "creator" and master. He could probably erase him from existence. It would be unwise to be anything but a quiet and loyal soldier around him. Noob and Scorpion are equals, however, and goading him would be more fun than dangerous for Noob.
