"Conjurer"

"Conjurer attempted to absorb the power of a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta and overloaded his own system in the process. When he awakens... if he awakens... he may perhaps have learned humility."

- The Shadowed One on "Conjurer", BIONICLE: Dark Hunters.

"Conjurer" was a Matoran warrior-king who later became a Dark Hunter.

History
"Conjurer" was a member of the Shadowed One's species and a native of his homeland. He was involved in the Ancient War; however, as the war was drawing to a close, his appetite for conquest had been whetted and he left the island for a realm to call his own. He settled a southern island inhabited by Matoran. By using sophisticated technology, he made it appear that he held supernatural powers and became a warrior-king on the island. However, his subjects were unable to conquer and expand his empire, as Matoran made notoriously poor conquering armies; thus, he accepted an opportunity for recruitment into the Dark Hunters.

Since then, "Conjurer" has plotted to overthrow "The Shadowed One". However, he is unaware that "The Shadowed One" is knowledgeable of his plot. "Conjurer" continued to carry out his missions and maintain his reputation as in connection with forces beyond comprehension. He recently attempted to use his Rhotuka to absorb a Makuta's power, but this attempt backfired and sent him into a coma.

It is unknown if he died due to his comatose state or if he overcame his state and evacuated the Matoran Universe. If this happened, he is now living on Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits
"Conjurer", for an unknown reason, hated water. This was most likely because "The Order of Mata Nui" was led by a Toa of Water. He sought and appreciated power and the ability to reign over others. "Conjurer" would often go out of his way on missions to carry them out dramatically, leaving witnesses stunned to withhold his fraudulent reputation as a mysterious loner.

"Conjurer" possessed strong telekinetic abilities and wielded a staff that held the power to disintegrate its target ("Conjurer", however, claimed the staff's power was his own). He was armed with a Rhotuka that could temporarily steal an opponent's power and be absorbed.

It is likely that hostilities left over from the Ancient War played a factor in "Conjurer's" rebelliousness toward "the Shadowed One". Also, "Conjurer's" lack of a tail is probably the result of "the Shadowed One's" punishment for the former's insubordination.
