Teridax (Melding Alternate Universe)

"So, your title is Makuta? What do you do?"
 * ''"Whatever is necessary. My role is to aid the Toa in looking after the villagers; to create new life forms, as needed; and to teach the virtues of unity, duty and destiny to those I and my brothers bring into being."

- Mazeka and Teridax, Brothers In Arms

This Teridax was a version of Teridax from the Melding universe. Unlike Teridax of the Main Universe, he had retained his light and fought for the forces of good.

The Melding Universe
In the melding universe, he was a warrior for the Great Beings. Nothing else is really known about his adventures in that universe. He was the one that escorted Mazeka and Vultraz to the Great Beings.

Mazeka's Arrival
Mazeka was allowed to bring back one person from that universe in exchange for Vultraz. He decided that the one person who could help him fix his universe was Teridax and so he brought him back to his universe. This Teridax Controls Light instead of Shadow and he wears white armor. They apperead in the Southern Universe Traveling through the continent, the two came across a valley of malicious living grass, and Makuta demonstrated his power over Light to the Ko-Matoran by killing the plants. The two eventually came upon a ridge overlooking a deserted Ba-Matoran village, where they discussed how, had he been in his situation, the alternate Teridax may have been just as ruthless as his counterpart. The Teridax of the main universe then created a maelstrom which blew the pair down to the village. Through the mouths of the dead Visorak scattered around the village, the Makuta spoke to them, saying that a weaker version of himself could never defeat him. The alternate Teridax stated that he was stronger because he resisted the temptations his counterpart could not. As a response, and to end the threat posed by another Makuta, the Teridax of the Matoran Universe teleported three Shadow Takanuva to the village.

He then engaged the Takanuva clones, and ended up destroying them. Afterward, he sensed the death of Shadow Teridax and teleported Mazeka and himself to the edge of the Ba-Matoran village. After debating how to patch up his wound from the battle, he and Mazeka found their way out of the Makuta Robot. He now lives on Spherus Magna.

Powers and Equipment
This version of Teridax carried a Warhammer and wore a golden Kanohi Kraahkan, the Great Mask of Shadows. He also possessed access to the 42 Rahkshi powers, or at least some of them.

Quotes
"A Makuta must be a being utterly without doubt, or fear, or any trace of shadow, so it takes long years of meditation before one is ready to assume the title. The powers that once ran this world were mad with a hunger for power – the Great Beings created the Makuta as an answer to that."

- Teridax, Brothers In Arms

"Vultraz thought he was going to be sick. What had they done to the Makuta here? Where was the delicious evil, the complex plans, the ruthless ambition? Or...if the Makuta’s actions had been fueled by a hatred/jealousy of Mata Nui, and there was no Mata Nui here, had things turned out differently?"
