Vultraz

"I don’t need to kill you now, I’ve beaten you. Every breath you take from now on is only because I allow it. No matter where you go, who you fight, how many battles you win – you’ll know you’re only walking, talking, living because of me. I just saved your life, Mazeka … I think that rates a thank you, don’t you?"

- Vultraz speaking to Mazeka

Vultraz was a former Ta-Matoran. He became a Shadow Matoran and a servant of the Brotherhood of Makuta.

History
Vultraz once lived on the Tren Krom Peninsula. He developed a feud with Mazeka after killing Mazeka's teacher for a gem.

He was corrupted by Icarax, but served Gorast for 5 years. He was the second Matoran to be corrupted and flew a small skyfighter. He discovered Karda Nui but did not tell the Makuta. For this reason, Gorast attacked hims on Destral upon finding out. It took the strength of Makuta Icarax to keep her from killing Vultraz. After saving Vultraz, Vultraz became Icarax's servant. Upon being told of Karda Nui's discovery, Makuta Teridax immediately ordered that the Makuta invade Karda Nui. Icarax and Vultraz stayed behind, however, until Antroz called upon Icarax. In his master's absence, Vultraz had his skyfighter modified by a rogue Nynrah Ghost on Stelt, then attacked a Matoran village on an island close by, injuring twelve and killing two. He then headed to Karda Nui to take something to Icarax.



Personality
Vultraz was an excellent engineer and after making his skyfighter, he armed it with stolen weaponry. His specialty is to capture Matoran for the Brotherhood.
