"Darkness"

"He is silent as he watches. No one, not even I, knows what goes on behind his bloodred eyes."

- "The Shadowed One", BIONICLE: Dark Hunters, on "Darkness".

"Darkness" was a Dark Hunter.

History
"Darkness" was "The Shadowed One"'s "shadow", lurking nearby to await the day, if it ever came, that "The Shadowed One" showed weakness. If so, he would have descended upon the him and assumed leadership of the Dark Hunters. To carry out this task, "Darkness" followed him constantly. Whenever he left Odina, "Darkness" managed to follow him. In the times he did leave him, it was only to keep his skills sharp through disciplining of disobedient Dark Hunters through combat. "Darkness" did this 250 years ago, when he interfered with the attempt of a coup against "The Shadowed One" illustrated by Zaktan, Vezok, Reidak, Hakann, and Thok.

Recently, "Darkness" was known to follow "The Shadowed One" to Xia. Although "The Shadowed One" had a desire to kill those who knew of his discovery of three vials of Makuta Virus, he did not kill "Darkness", who was concerned only with that of him showing weakness and wouldn't discuss the matter or act on it. When "The Shadowed One" had a throne constructed for him, "Darkness" witnessed him talk with Kalmah, Ehlek, and Mantax from a rafter above.

Dark Mirror
In the "Toa Empire" Parallel Universe, 3,500 years ago, "Darkness" survived when the Toa Empire targeted the Dark Hunters as a threat to Mata Nui. He became a member of Pohatu's resistance team against the Empire, and summoned the remaining Hunters in Metru Nui, "Guardian" and "Primal", to aid in their rebellion against Tuyet at the Coliseum.

In the battle, "Darkness" was able to enter through cracks into the Coliseum with Takanuva following to the Hall of Masks chamber. However, Tuyet was in the room, and used her Water elemental powers to summon a wall of water that swept "Darkness" away. It was unknown of whether he survived this attack.

Powers & Tools
"Darkness" wielded dual claws on each hand, and could slip through tight spaces, although "The Shadowed One" suspects that are not his only powers and considers him one of the most powerful Dark Hunters.
