Cyrax/Current Timeline

Biography

 * Mortal Kombat (2011): "A skilled Motswana warrior, Cyrax relies on his natural fighting ability, his chi, to carry out Lin Kuei missions. He is proud to serve, but when the Grand Master initiates a program to convert the clan into cyborgs, Cyrax resists. He is reluctant to lose his humanity, which he believes is more effective than any mechanical augmentation. He has contemplated leaving the clan, fearing that it is no longer an organization of honorable assassins. Cyrax knows, however, that such a decision means death at the hands of his former comrades. No one leaves the Lin Kuei."

Storyline
In Mortal Kombat (2011), Cyrax appears alongside Sektor, both in their human forms. They are both seen chatting when Scorpion appears. They both ridicule him, which starts a two-on-one fight, with Scorpion proving the victor over both Lin Kuei ninja. Scorpion later faces the elder Sub-Zero and returns from the Netherrealm with his skeleton. As everyone begins to leave, Cyrax and Raiden walk towards the remains. Raiden mentions the Cyber Initiative, which Cyrax states he opposes. A visibly upset Cyrax attempts to leave, when Raiden gives him one final message: If Earthrealm loses, there will be no more Lin Kuei. As Cyrax ponders, he leaves and Baraka is shown having overheard the conversation.

Cyrax is later met by Sheeva and Baraka, who inform him that Shang Tsung no longer needs the Lin Kuei's help, Baraka having informed Shang Tsung of the earlier conversation Cyrax had with Raiden. Cyrax defeats both of them in separate fights, and confronts Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung was upset that Cyrax spoke to Raiden and believes he jeopardized his plans. Sektor says that Cyrax is Lin Kuei, and will complete his task. Shang Tsung then has Cyrax face Johnny Cage, whom he defeats. While Shang Tsung demands Cyrax kill Cage, Cyrax refuses. Sektor, angered, follows Cyrax and confronts him. Cyrax defeats Sektor, and Sektor then says that no one leaves the Lin Kuei, to which Cyrax responds with a kick to the head.

Cyrax later appears in his automated form. It is unknown whether Cyrax agreed to the automation or was captured and forced into automation, however, Cyrax in his automated form follows the orders of the Lin Kuei without question. Cyrax confronts the younger Sub-Zero in the Soul Chamber and states that he is unit LK-4D4, and that he has come to take Sub-Zero for automation. Sub-Zero defeats Cyrax in kombat, and states that he has not completed his mission and cannot be automated. Cyrax then teleports away as Jax Briggs and Sonya Blade appear.

Cyrax and the also automated Sektor later appear following Sub-Zero's victory over Scorpion. They offer Shao Kahn the Lin Kuei's full loyalty and service in exchange for taking Sub-Zero to be automated. Shao Kahn agrees, and the Lin Kuei leave with Sub-Zero.

Cyrax is seen with the rest of the Outworld forces when the recently reprogrammed Cyber Sub-Zero appears through the portal. Later when the Earthrealm warriors are gathered, the Lin Kuei cyborgs, led by Sindel, attack them. Nightwolf faces and defeats Cyrax, and Cyrax is not seen again following Sindel's attack.
