Frost is a character from the Mortal Kombat fighting game series, first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (2002). She is a female Lin Kuei warrior and a student of Sub-Zero, the iconic cryomancer from the franchise. Known for her icy abilities and ambitious personality, Frost has evolved from a supporting character into a notable figure in the series, often depicted as a rival or antagonist to Sub-Zero.
Background and Personality
Frost hails from the Lin Kuei clan, a secretive group of assassins in the Mortal Kombat universe. She was discovered by Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang) during his efforts to reform the Lin Kuei into a force for good after taking leadership from its darker past. Frost showed exceptional skill in combat and cryomancy (ice manipulation), which led Sub-Zero to take her under his wing. However, her personality starkly contrasts with her mentor's—Frost is arrogant, impulsive, and driven by a desire for power and recognition, traits that often put her at odds with Sub-Zero's calm and honorable demeanor.
Her ambition frequently leads her to betray those around her, including Sub-Zero, as she seeks to prove herself superior or claim leadership of the Lin Kuei. This dynamic has made her a recurring foil to Sub-Zero across multiple games.
The name "Noob Saibot" is a playful nod to the creators of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon and John Tobias, with their last names spelled backward (Noob = Boon, Saibot = Tobias). Initially a secret character, he evolved into a fully fleshed-out figure with a dark and tragic story.
Personality and Role
As Bi-Han, the original Sub-Zero was a cold, ruthless killer loyal to the Lin Kuei. After becoming Noob Saibot, he retained his lethal nature but became a servant of darkness, often aligned with evil forces like Quan Chi, Shinnok, or Shao Kahn. Noob is depicted as cunning, merciless, and fiercely independent, sometimes breaking from his masters to pursue his own agenda—such as reclaiming his identity or seeking ultimate power. His transformation into a wraith erased much of his humanity, leaving him as a spectral figure consumed by vengeance and shadow.
In contrast to his younger brother, Kuai Liang (the second Sub-Zero), Noob Saibot represents the darker path Bi-Han could have taken, creating a compelling sibling rivalry in the series.

During this operation, Koska demonstrates her agility and teamwork, notably engaging in a brief scuffle with Boba Fett over their differing views on Mandalorian heritage—highlighting her fierce pride in her roots.
While not historically verified, Lagertha (Old Norse: Hlaðgerðr) is a famous figure from Norse legend, popularized in modern media like the TV series Vikings. According to the 12th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum:
Though likely a blend of myth and history, Lagertha embodies the archetype of a female Viking warrior—fierce, independent, and martially adept.
