Botar

"To darkness he turned, in darkness he will remain. The law is the will of Mata Nui. Break that law and only the Pit will welcome you. Will you let him go... or will you challenge the law and risk sharing his fate, axe-wielder?"

- Botar to Axonn, regarding Brutaka's fate

Botar was a member of a savage race of beings from an unknown southern island. Botar's name was feared even within the Order of Mata Nui, for his job was to retrieve defeated enemies - traitors to the Order and those beyond all redemption - and banish them to the Pit. The list of beings Botar banished included the Barraki, Brutaka, Karzahni and Tuyet. As a result of the capture of the Barraki, his existence became known of by Teridax, though his affiliation with the Order of Mata Nui was not. Incredibly dedicated, he threatened anyone who impeded him with the same fate as his intended targets.

After Axonn defeated Brutaka, Botar appeared to take Brutaka away. Axonn wanted Brutaka to be given a second chance, but Botar warned that challenging Brutaka's sentence meant risking his own banishment. Axonn conceded, but vowed that he would free his friend one day; Botar simply laughed. He then stayed long enough to have a conversation with the Toa Nuva before teleporting away.

After its victory over the Kardas Dragon, the giant Tahtorak began to threaten the Matoran of Voya Nui. Axonn summoned Botar back to the island. Showing a rarely displayed sense of humor, Botar teleported the monstrous creature to Xia.

Botar was proven wrong about Brutaka when Brutaka stole the Staff of Artakha from Teridax. Botar acknowledged Brutaka's good deed by giving him a thank you nod. He then transported the staff away to Daxia. He also brought the Toa Nuva to Daxia so they could witness the healing of the world. When Karzahni was captured by Lesovikk, Botar took him to Daxia.

Botar was eventually killed by Icarax, when he and Trinuma went to meet Brutaka's team.

Powers and Abilities
Besides teleportation, Botar's powers are unknown. He was unaffected by the Pit's mutagen because he only stayed for a split-second, not staying long enough to get wet. Like all Order members, Botar's mind was shielded from intrusion.

Tools
Botar weilded a large Protosteel double-bladed axe-like weapon. He also had large, sharp blades attached to his arms. If these tools had any powers, they are unknown.

Trivia

 * Botar could use Kanohi, but never used one.
