Brutaka

Brutaka lived on Voya Nui since long before the Great Cataclysm broke the island off from the Mainland, having been assigned by the Order of Mata Nui to guard the Ignika Mask of Life.

He recently betrayed the Order of Mata Nui after losing faith in Mata Nui because he believed Mata Nui had abandoned him and his kind. He also used to be the friend of another member, Axonn, but after his betrayal, they became fierce enemies.

In exchange for stopping the Toa Nuva, Brutaka was given the Piraka's Zamor Spheres, and he has personally taken the Toa Nuva captive. However, he showed that he still has a decent streak left in him, as he saved some of the Matoran from a deadly Doom Viper out of force of habit, though he seemed to be bothered that this decency still exists.

Hakann and Thok stole Brutaka's power with a special zamor sphere, and Axonn vowed to stay with Brutaka until the Toa Inika and Piraka were able to get back his power. When he awoke, he and Axonn began battling, but Brutaka was defeated.

Botar took him to The Pit, where he met the Barraki. He tried to convince Dekar into giving him the mask of life but Brutaka was carried away by a giant squid.

Brutaka redeemed himself by stopping the Makuta of Metru Nui from recreating the Nui Stone with the Staff of Artakha. He blasted Makuta with energy and then stole the staff from him. He then summoned Botar who whisked the staff away to an unknown place though presumably to the place where the Toa Nuva were to use the items they gathered to awaken Mata Nui.

Powers and Abilities
Brutaka was extremly powerful. Like Axonn, the full extent of his powers aren't known, but the known abilities are listed below.


 * He possesed strength rivaling that of a Makuta. When he fought Makuta, he fought him equally and without breaking a "sweat"
 * He was powerful enough to beat six Toa Nuva and six Matoran with one swing of his blade.
 * Both he and his species had a slight immunity to the Pit's Mutagen.
 * He became meaner and fiercer when he absorbed the Piraka's Antidermis (an actual energy absorbtion and not Makuta giving him strength).
 * His mind was shielded from telepathy.

Mask and Tools
Brutaka wore the Great Mask of Dimentional Gates, which allowed him to open a portal to another location or pocket dimention attached to the BIONICLE universe. He once used this mask to teleport a Tahtorak to Metru Nui just for fun.

He also weilded a Double Bladed Sword that could produce a powerful blast of electricity. This sword was given to him by his Ex-friend Axonn. He also had two hidden throwing daggers on his back.
