Ever since Mortal Kombat 1's launch, when fans eagerly dove into the story and towers to uncover as much as possible about Fire God Liu Kang's new world, players have assumed the guy pictured next to Sub-Zero to be Sektor, one of the three Lin Keui cyborgs.
According to prominent and reliable leaker Fate Unknown (dubbed a "Verified Insider" on the MK leaks subreddit), he isn't. It's an easy mistake to make. We see him designing the iconic cyborg armour while Sub-Zero says, "We've invested much into this endeavor, and we are beginning to see results. Once again proving the depths of Sektor's genius."
Sektor and Cyrax appear in the game as Kameos, but we don't see their faces as they're in cyborg armour.
Anyone would jump to the conclusion that it's Sektor, but in reality, they're likely just a random Lin Kuei member putting Sektor's work into practice, designing suits based on his schematics. It's also not Cyrax or Smoke, the other two parts of Triborg. We know what Smoke looks like, and leaks claim that Cyrax is a woman in this timeline.
That means we still don't know what two parts of Triborg look like - Cyrax and Sektor. How Fate Unknown is so confident that this isn't Sektor also isn't clear as they didn't follow up on the post - they've been MIA for weeks, only returning to drop this vague comment. It's possible they've seen what MK1's Sektor looks like and that's how they know, but until they say, we can only speculate.
