Macku

"It is good to be on an adventure with you again! I thought Nokama would keep me locked up in the village forever."

- Macku to Takua, Mata Nui Online Game

Maku was a Ga-Matoran who was close friends with Hewkii. She was also an Attendant on Mata Nui, assisting Turaga Nokama in the maintaining of Ga-Koro.

Metru Nui
Little is known about Macku on Metru Nui. She served as a guide for Archivists at sea, running a small business called Macku's canoes. She could have been one of Nokama's student, because in the movie she can be seen in Nokama's Classroom with her and Vhisola. Then, she was summoned to the coliseum, put in a Matoran Pod, and taken away.

Quest for the Masks
Macku was the only escape of the Tarakava incident in Ga-Koro. She sought out the help of Takua while she searched on foot for Gali. When Gali defeated the Tarakava, Macku returned to her hut, and heard about the Comet Virus in Po-Koro. She became especially worried about Hewkii, with whom she shared a special bond. She later became a member of the Chronicler's Company, and took her old canoe under the Ga-Koro Waterfall. She joined in The Battle of Kini-Nui I.

The Bohrok
She, along with Hahli, formed the Ga-Koro Defense Force. When the Pahrak were about to invade Ga-Koro, the Boxor Squad, Jaller, and Takua had arrived. Suddenly, a fleet of boats came across the sea. It was the Po-Matoran, who had escaped their destroyed Koro. Macku saw Hewkii, and waved to him. Hewkii waved back, but was hit on the head by Onewa. Just prior to the Pahrak attack, Hahli ordered the Ga-Koro force disbanded in an effort to save Ga-Matoran lives.

Suddenly, the Pahrak began their invasion. Macku, Kotu, and Hahli used fishing sticks to try to cut the path off. A Pahrak took a rock and threw it at Macku, but Hewkii made a last moment save.

At night, Macku and Hewkii were sharing a moment, but were interrupted. The waterfall had collapsed, to reveal more Pahrak. The Matoran managed to hold them off.

Mask of Light
After the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal, Macku and Hahli were chosen for the Ga-Koro Kolhii Team. She and Hahli made it all the way to the Kolhii Tournament, where they defeated the Po-Koro Kolhii Team and the Ta-Koro Kolhii Team in an upset.

When the Rahkshi attacked Ta-Koro, Macku escaped along with everyone else.

Return to Metru Nui
Macku returned to Metru Nui along with all the other Matoran. She was in the Coliseum when Teridax said he took control of Mata Nui's body.

Macku later discovered Toa Tuyet in the Archives. She summoned Kapura and Hafu and together they formed an alliance. Tuyet showed them a rock only about the size of her fist, telling them that she could overthrow Teridax and that she had been dead for 2000 years. Later, when Makuta Teridax died, she helped dig Matoran, like Taipu, out of the Archives.

After helping in the Archives, she evacuated the Matoran Universe and is currently living on Spherus Magna.

"The Kingdom" Timeline
Macku was the first one to encounter Takanuva when he arrived, and brought him to Axonn to confirm that he was not a Makuta.

"The Melding" Timeline
Mazeka and Vultraz met Macku, Toa of Water, in an alternate version of Spherus Magna, where Toa resembled Matoran and vice versa.
