Krakua

"Six heroes will one day be called upon to make a perilous journey into the darkest place you can imagine. They will brave the lighting...they will walk through the fire...they will stare into the eyes of evil, and if they waver even once, they will die. And you, Vakama, will have to send them on this quest, knowing they may never return...and knowing that you can do nothing for them but wait and hope."

- Krakua

Krakua was a Toa of Sonics from the future of the BIONICLE book series. He was the lone defender of a mysterious island fortress.

History
At some point during the time he defended an unknown fortress, Krakua was able to communicate across time with Toa Metru Vakama, who was in Krakua's past, having a vision. Krakua told Vakama that if he failed his mission, Krakua would never exist, and that to succeed, he would have to be willing to destroy the future to stop evil from spreading. He also told him that Vakama would one day have to send a group of heroes into danger and not be able to do anything about it. It is known he was referring to the Toa Inika. Around the time the Toa Inika were transformed into the Toa Mahri, the Order of Mata Nui, badly needing new allies, arranged for Krakua, then a Matoran, to become a Toa. He then served the Order, and at some point, met Toa Lesovikk, who was hunting down the tyrant Karzahni, and gave him information about the Pit, and that if Karzahni was defeated, someone would come to take him away. (He was referring to the Order of Mata Nui's Botar, however, he did not tell Lesovikk who he meant.)

Later, when the Toa Nuva were battling the Brotherhood of Makuta forces in the Core of the Universe, Krakua and two Order of Mata Nui members, Brutaka and the First Toa, went to Metru Nui and helped Toa Takanuva survive an attack by a Shadow Leech. They then gave him a vision of the past using a strange creature resembling a cross between a Krana and a Kraata. The vision showed Takanuva the early lives of the Toa Mata, and armed with this knowledge, the Order told him to deliver the information to the Toa Nuva in Karda Nui, and sent him there via Brutaka's Kanohi Mask of Dimensional Gates. (Unbeknownst to them, slight damage to the mask resulted in Takanuva ending up in a parallel universe.) After this, Helryx and Brutaka left to prepare for the Order of Mata Nui's assault on the Brotherhood of Makuta base at Destral, while Krakua remained in the Metru Nui Archives for unknown reasons.

Dark Mirror
In the Parallel Universe, Krakua was a member of Pohatu and Lesovikk's rebel group. During a fierce battle at the Coliseum, Krakua and Ahkmou killed the corrupt Toa Gali.

Mask, Powers, and Equipment
Krakua controlled Sonics, and thus had sound-related powers, such as creating shockwaves of sound powerful enough to shatter stone and metallic protodermis. He carried a sonic sword that he used to channel his power.

Krakua also wore a Kanohi Suletu, the Great Mask of Telepathy, which enabled him to stay one step ahead of his enemies by listening to their thoughts.
