Free-Thinking Lin Kuei
Cyrax was born into the Zaki, one of the Lin Kuei's many sub-clans. For generations it has maintained a quiet presence in Niger’s Aïr mountains, where it stands ready to defend Earthrealm.
A martial arts prodigy, Cyrax was the youngest Zaki to ever become an active Lin Kuei warrior. That success earned her an invitation to serve directly under Sektor.
Cyrax seized the opportunity with her trademark vigor. But while her skills have endeared her Sektor, her independent streak has not.
Despite Sektor’s best efforts to break it, Cyrax’s will remains untamed. She will serve the Lin Kuei on her terms, or not at all.

Though Kuai Liang had accepted me as a Shirai Ryu, many of his warriors could not.
The blood shed at the wedding had left many injured and scarred. Their hearts, understandably, simmered in bitterness.
It boiled over one day as we trained. A push became a shove and suddenly I was fighting for my life. After he intervened, Kuai Liang banished the instigators.
It made me ill, how my presence was disrupting the clan. It was no way to repay Kuai Liang’s mercy. So I offered to resign, and asked for those who attacked me to be reinstated.
But instead of ending my time with the Shirai Ryu, my gesture heralded a new beginning.
It gave those still resentful of me pause. Enough for them to permit me a fair chance to prove myself.
Given the circumstances, it is all I can ask.
