Bringing this back up, it could be relevant.

"There he found his father waiting. The Grand Master warned him that wearing the Dragon Medallion brought much power, but at a cost. Sektor ignored the warning and slew his father, whose soul burst from his body and flew into the medallion. Sektor placed the artifact around his neck. He had finally seized control of the Lin Kuei."

-Sektor's ending for MK 2011.

"He led them back to the temple to claim his prize. At the gates, he was surprised to find the old master waiting, receiving Zed and his disciples as if they were welcome guests. The old man laid his sword at Zed's feet, declaring that he had failed Zed as his master. By banishing his former student, the master had doomed Zed to the shadows, instead of leading him to the balanced path. The old man implored Zed to enter the temple, destroy the box, and lead his followers to balance. The dark ninja followed the master inside. Moments later, the assembled ninjas heard Zed cry out in pain. Mysteriously, he emerged unscathed, and threw the severed head of the master at Shen's feet. Screaming in rage, Zed commanded his followers to slaughter the master's students and seize the box.

That day, the old ninja order fell. Though many students died, some escaped thanks to Shen's heroic efforts. Now the temple is a dark training ground for the Order of the Shadow. Zed rules as the Order's master, and his edict is simple: perfect one's technique, and kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows."

Zed's Background for League of Legends.

While I'm at it, I will point out some other things..

Sektor (Original Timeline) and Zed were both banished from their respective clan, and later forms a new clan under their rule. Differences being Sektor never returns to the Lin Kuei  (With the exception of his 09 Arcade ending) but Zed returns to his.

Sektor (New Timeline) and Zed seizes control over their clan by killing the (Grand)master.

Sektor (New Timeline) and Zed has gone through a form of corruption by their own actions.

Sektor chose to be the first to undergo Cyber Initiation and later became corrupted by his programming, and Zed wanted to learn forbidden techniques and was corrupted by the jealousy and the desire to be the better ninja.
