Cyrax is a character in the '' Mortal Kombat '' Fighting Game series. ABOUT CYRAX Making his debut in '' Mortal Kombat 3 '', Cyrax was the second of three cybernetic ninja. Designated unit LK-4D4, he was assigned to hunt Sub-Zero for the Lin Kuei clan. He was one of the more popular characters in ''MK3'', due to his plasma net and color being somewhat reminiscent of the then-absent Scorpion . Of the three cyborgs, he has to date become the only one to recover his humanity. STORYLINE In '' Mortal Kombat 3 '', Cyrax was working for the Lin Kuei clan, an organization of Ninja -assassins who employ conventional Martial Art s, technology, and magic to eliminate opponents. He appeared alongside his partners Sektor and Smoke , and was ordered to track down and kill a renegade member of the Lin Kuei clan, the younger Sub-Zero . This Sub-Zero had disagreed with the decision to convert all its members into Cyborg s and left the clan, and was thus marked for death by the headmasters. During the invasion of Earthrealm by Shao Kahn and his minions, Sub-Zero defeated Cyrax and reprogrammed him with orders to destroy Shao Kahn. However, Kahn was defeated by the other Earthrealm warriors before Cyrax had a chance to do so. As a result of his reprogramming, he awaited new orders, and when these never came, he wandered and eventually became mired in the middle of a vast desert. In '' Mortal Kombat Gold '', Cyrax was recovered by special agents Sonya Blade and Major Jackson Briggs (Jax) . They brought him to the Outer World Investigation Agency (OIA) headquarters, and used its technology to restore his humanity. Grateful for their help, Cyrax joined the OIA as a scout in the realm of Outworld . During the events of '''', Cyrax became stranded on Outworld. His arm console, which allowed him to return to Earthrealm , was damaged in a surprise attack by Reptile orchestrated by the vampire Nitara .

Meanwhile, Cyrax managed to drive off Reptile but was later ambushed by the Oni Moloch and Drahmin . After driving the two demons off as well, he finally encountered the vampire Nitara , who offered to help him return home in exchange for his aid in recovering a lost artifact. They travelled to the underground chamber that housed the egg of the Dragon King. There, Cyrax submerged himself in the lake of molten lava and discovered the orb. Nitara wanted the orb because it bound her realm to that of Outworld. With it now in her possession, she honored her promise to Cyrax and used her necklace to open a portal and send him back to Earthrealm.
