Vezok

Vezok (a.k.a the Beast) was the Piraka of Water, and a former Dark Hunter.

Dark Hunters
7,000 years ago, Vezok and Hakann team up to steal a treasure from a besieged Toa fortress. Vezok has Hakann "distract" (that is, get beat up by) the guards while he goes after the treasure. He finds a tablet labeled "Makoki stone" and realizes it has hidden inscriptions detailing the operations of the Brotherhood of Makuta. After escaping the fortress, both are caught by the Dark Hunter "Ancient" (who also wanted the Makoki stone) and were forcibly recruited, joining the other four Skakdi who were already members.

Missions and Activities
5,000 Years Ago: Zaktan leads Vezok and the others (except for Avak) in an unsuccessful revolt against the Shadowed One. The Shadowed One tries to execute Zaktan by disintegration, but everyone is surprised to see Zaktan survive as a mass of protodites.

3,000 Years Ago: Vezok, Reidak and Avak freed the Kanohi Dragon from its icy prison, letting it loose on Metru Nui. They then went to Turaga Dume offering the Hunter's "protection". Dume refused, but just as Vezok tries to kill him; Toa Lhikan, Toa Nidhiki, and the rest of their team intervenes.

Ignition
Later, few months to actual events, he and the other five leave the Hunters and form the group called the Piraka, and go to investigate Makuta's death, and then arrive in Mangaia. After discovering Makuta's shattered armor (and Reidak accidentally throwing his Kanohi into the Silver Sea), Hakann found the Spear of Fusion, but accidentaly shot Vezok with it in reverse and split him into two beings. The first was still considered Vezok and the second being took the name "Vezon", and claims the spear.

A few seconds later, Makuta telephathicly influenced them to search for the Ignika, Mask of Life, but a pair of Mana-Ko attacked them. Vezon escaped and took a Toa Canister and left Mata Nui. The rest soon arrived on Mata Nui's surface and found the Toa Mata's Toa Canisters and used them to get to Voya Nui (Hakann tried to sabotage Vezok's canister, but failed).

When the Piraka arrived on Voya Nui, began to act like Toa to fool the Matoran, but after six Matoran discovered the truth. At the same time the Pirak began to enslave the island's Matoran.

When the Toa Nuva arrived, they fought the villans fiercely, but the Toa Nuva were defeated. Zaktan ordered the rest to throw them into Mount Valmai, but it erupted in time, and the Toa escaped. Later, the Toa return with the Matoran resistence, but Brutaka, Zaktan's new ally, defeat them all, and the Matoran were captured by the Piraka. A short time after, the Toa Inika arrived, the Matoran were freed, and the Toa invaded the Piraka Strongold and began a battle. In the midst of the battle, Hakann shot a Zamor at Brutaka and stole his power (with Thok, while he was touching him), and the Toa Inika and remaining Piraka strike an uneasy alliance to try and depower them.

Meanwhile, the two began fighting each other until the Toa and Piraka caught up with them, and Hewkii was able to fire the shot that returned Brutaka's power to him just as Hakann and Thok launch a combined attack that knocks everyone out, exept for Zaktan (and opened an entrance to the Ignika). They started walking down the staircase to the chamber of life, then Hakann stopped to relax. But when Vezok and the other Piraka encounter him, his heat power was oveloaded, causing his armor to melt, caused by fear...

Irnakk had encountered them. Zaktak helped the others free from him and they arrived in the Chamber of Life. They encountured Vezon, who used his Spear to combine Reidak and Vezok into a mostrous being to knock out Hakann and the other three remaining Piraka. After the Inika defeted Kardas and the Ignika vanished under the sea, the Piraka decided to lay low and strike at just the right moment...

Personality
Vezok is considered "the outright nastiest of the Piraka" (and in this group, that's saying something). He acts calm on the outside, but is actually bitter and paranoid (but you know what they say - it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you...). Because he lost his logical side to Vezon, his emotional side has become that much harder for him to control. He hates Hakann (well, more than he hates most things) because Hakann was the one responsible for splitting Vezon from him. The only one who he can tolerate is Reidak, as Vezok considers him too dim for scheming. Just before abandoning the Hunters, Vezok completed a mission involving the retrieval of an ancient tablet, but he hid it away rather than turn it into the Hunters; when the Dark Hunters catch up with the Piraka, Vezok may just have a bargaining chip for himself.

Powers and Weapons
Vezok had the Elemental power of water, though he could only activate it by combining powers with another Piraka. He could also fire impact vision from his eyes. His other powers included: a fair amount of strength, resistance to the corrosive effects of seawater, and the ability to copy powers that he had been hit with for a short time.

Vezok was equipped with a Harpoon that could pull him through the tides, its other end was a Buzzsaw that could hurl Water Daggers. He also used a Zamor Launcher.
