Taipu

"I don't know where Hafu and Kapura are, but it seems to me like the Chronicler's Company lives again."

- Taipu in Reign of Shadows

Taipu is a miner, and among the strongest Onu-Matoran. He was gullible and playful.

Metru Nui
Not much is known about Taipu on Metru Nui, but he was taken away by Vahki and put into a Matoran Pod.

Mata Nui
On Mata Nui, Taipu helped build a passageway between Onu-Wahi and Le-Wahi. He journeyed with Takua to Le-Koro, but was captured by a Nui-Rama. He escaped with the Le-Matoran after the battle between Lewa and Onua. Taipu joined the Chronicler's Company and helped move a rock. Hafu carved it into a statue of himself. Taipu then helped defend the Kini-Nui from the vicious Rahi along with the Chronicler's Company. The Company nearly failed, and might have if the Ta-Matoran Guard, Le-Matoran Gukko Force, and the Onu-Matoran Ussalry hadn't shown up in the nick of time.

When the Gahlok raided Onu-Koro, he, Onepu, and Nuparu were trapped in a cave. They then found a Gahlok, but it was deactivated without a Krana. Then Nuparu engineered from the Bohrok pieces a machine called the Boxor. With it, they broke out of the cavern and saved Onu-Koro. He was also an Onu-Koro Kolhii player, and lost against Hahli and Macku.

Return to Metru Nui
He and the other Matoran eventually returned to Metru Nui and he helped to rebuild the city before the Staff of Artakha did the rest. He was also present during the ceremony for Matoro.

Spherus Magna
After Teridax's death he migrated to Spherus Magna and is currently living there.
