The character’s real name is Tomas Vrbada; they first debuted in Mortal Kombat 2 as a secret, unplayable character. In the first timeline, he appears as a Cyborg, followed by a Revenant in the 2nd. For the 3rd timeline and Mortal Kombat 1, he appears human. 

His signature moves involve Spear, Smoke Cloud, and Teleporting. He has short silver hair and wears a grey ninja outfit.

Instead of builds, Mortal Kombat features various skins, which let you customize your character’s appearance. The skins can come in different color palettes and include customized outfit parts to match the gear.
