Matoro

Matoran
As a matoran in Mata Nui, Matoro interpreted Nuju's Rahi bird language. Matoro had been to some of the most confidential of the turaga's meetings and was told not to tell anyone. True to his word, Matoro kept everything secret, even when friends asked. Matoro went with Jaller to resque the Toa Nuva. Also,in a dark realm, Matoro helps someone up, thinking it to be one of the other matoran. But it wasn't, as he was about to look at whose hand he was holding,it slipped away. The figure is in fact, a figure of the mask of life's power.

Toa Matoro
"Matoro is sometimes unsure just what he is doing as a Toa - after all, he is not an athlete or a warrior or an inventor, he is a translator. Strange things have been happening to him ever since he left Metru Nui to go to Voya Nui, leading him to think some unknown destiny is waiting for him here. In the meantime, he is testing the limits of his powers and slowly gaining confidence in his new role."

Matoro is a Toa of Ice and uses an Energized Ice Sword. He wears the Kanohi Iden, the Mask of Spirit, which allows his spirit to leave his body (see Astral Projection). His spirit form is invisible and cannot interact with the physical world, excluding Hahli and Axonn, who have masks that can see him. He seems to have a considerably warmer demeanour than other known Toa of Ice. Since the Mask of Life chose Matoro to be its guardian, he is not cursed by touching it. As a Matoran, Matoro served as translator for Turaga Nuju.
