Bordakh

The Bordakh were the Vahki of Ga-Metru.

History
When Toa Metru Nokama went to Vhisola's house to search for the missing Matoran, a Ga-Matoran informed a squad of Bordakh about the mysterious Toa, and the Bordakh decided to capture her to find out whether she was a friend of foe. Nokama decided to leave the squad behind, but returned later to find the squad still standing by outside Vhisola's house. The Toa of Water used water as distraction, and managed to get into the house without raising alert.

Later, Nokama, along with Matau, Vhisola and Orkahm, journeyed to the main section of Ga-Metru where they found several Matoran which were enslaved by the Bordakh's powers. Matau quickly distracted them by flying away. The group then reunited, and journeyed to the Great Temple, where Nokama dove into the waters below to retrieve the Ga-Metru Great Disk. The remaining group, however, was attacked by the Bordakh, but was then defeated after the Dweller in the Deep crashed into them while chasing Nokama, who had retrieved the Great Disk from the creature's mouth.

Vakama, Onewa, Nuhrii and Ahkmou later encountered the Bordakh as well whilst journeying to the Great Temple. The group used Nuhrii to distract them, having the Matoran tell the Vahki that the Toa Metru were elsewhere causing trouble. The Bordakh encountered the Toa yet again, except this time the Toa were fleeing from the Coliseum and boarded a Chute to Ga-Metru. The Bordakh realized that the Toa had left the Coliseum, and cornered the Toa on top of a Chute support tower. A Bordakh used its powers on Nokama, turning her into a tool of the Vahki. The enslaved Nokama then pushed Vakama off the tower, but Vakama was able to fly back up using his launcher's powers. The Toa of Fire fired two Kanoka disks of Shrinking and defeated the Bordakh, thus freeing Nokama.

Much later, the Toa encountered the Bordakh once more, although this time as a reunited team. The entire group of Toa Metru was fleeing to the Great Temple from the Coliseum after it was revealed that the Makuta Teridax was impersonating Turaga Dume.

All the Bordakh were destroyed by the Great Cataclysm or by the Visorak swarm.

Abilities and Traits
The Bordakh were tactically the most cunning of the Vahki. They preferred to get the job done with a minimum of fuss and risk, but they did enjoy the chase. When Matoran talked about Vahki and their love for the chase, they were usually speaking of Bordakh. These Ga-Metru Vahki loved pursuit so much they would sometimes give an offender a head start just to make things more interesting. An old Matoran saying goes, "Bordakh like things that run". Bordakh worked in small, highly mobile squads, since having too many involved in a chase took all the fun out of it. Bordakh were even known to let a captured offender escape just so they could pursue him or her again.

Bordakh were the only Vahki with any real skill underwater, and even they preferred to stay on dry land.

Tools
Bordakh were outfitted with Staffs of Loyalty. Lawbreakers in Ga-Metru knew that anyone they saw could be working for the Vahki due to the effect of the staffs.

Set Information
The Vahki Bordakh, along with the other five Vahki, was released as a set in 2004. The set contained 33 pieces, and could be combined with Zadakh and Keerakh to create a Kraahu.
