Zaktan

Zaktan is the green Piraka. He is also the leader of the Piraka "team".

Early Days
Zaktan was once a Dark Hunter. He fought in the Toa/Dark Hunter War. He eventualy decided to go rouge with another 5 of his species: Hakann, Vezok, Reidak, Avak, and Thok. Later in the war with the Brotherhood; Zaktan, Reidak, and Thok are a few of the Hunters dispatched to guard a base. Thok loots the base, and Zaktan explores it as well, but a tip-off from Roodaka that the base was once the Brotherhood's encourages Zaktan to take a closer look. What he finds is the Brotherhood's master plan: schemes, calculations, backup plans, prophesies... Stunned at first, Zaktan vows to use this knowledge to his advantage, and destroys the records before he leaves.

Post Mask of Light
After Makuta was defeated by Takanuva, Zaktan and the Piraka journeyed to Makuta's lair, to loot it. They found something interseting: the Spear of Fusion. Due to misuse, it split Vezok in two, the other half named Vezon.

Ignition
While still in Makuta's Lair,Zaktan and the other Piraka suddenly gained knowlege of the Mask of Life. They all wondered how this happened,but only Zaktan knew that Makuta's spirit told them this. Zaktan led the others to the exit,when they were attacked by two Mana Ko. Vezon escapes,and the other piraka find the Toa Mata's Toa Canisters,and decided to use them to get to Voya Nui,where the mask was.

Powers
Zaktan is equipped with a three-pronged blade with a pair of tongs at its other end. When The Shadowed One once attempted to blast him with Eyebeams, Zaktan didn't disintegrate but rather shattered into microscopic Protodites, each of which holds part of his consciousness (why this happened is unknown). As a result, he can change his shape and each of his parts can function on its own; this includes his triple blade but not his Zamor Launcher. He also has laser vision, and is the only Piraka who can get close to the Antidermis collection device without feeling sick.Regarding Zaktan's behavior, series writer Greg Farshtey has said: "Zaktan knows exactly -- and I mean EXACTLY - what is going on, more than the other Piraka, more than Turaga Dume, more than the Toa Nuva, and well beyond just the 2006 storyline -- he knows about everything from pre-2001 on. How does he know? You will learn that this year. (And it is NOT because he is possessed by Makuta or because Makuta told him or enslaved him.)"It was discovered that this knowledge comes from a Brotherhood of Makuta base, where he found their entire record of the Great Cataclysm; and he has vowed to use this to his advantage.Zaktan has elemental air power, and is equipped with a three-pronged blade with a pair of tongs at its other end. When the Shadowed One once attempted to blast him with eyebeams, Zaktan didn't disintegrate but rather shattered into microscopic protodites, each of which holds part of his consciousness (why this happened is unknown). Zaktan once said that he was always horrified about waking up and noticing that his body was made up of protodites or an opponent's scream when he swarms on them. He also has laser vision, and is the only Piraka who can get close to the virus collection device without feeling sick.
