Kalmah

"We shared our victories, and our punishment... so we will share the power of this mask as well."

- Kalmah

Kalmah was one of the six Barraki, warlords that were the former leaders of the League of the Six Kingdoms. He is currently freed from the Pit by the Order of Mata Nui in exchange for fighting against the Brotherhood of Makuta.

History
Kalmah was one of the six Barraki warlords that was banished to the Pit by Botar 80,000 years ago. Soon after being mutated by the Pit Mutagen, Kalmah discovered an organic species of Squid Rahi that fed on the life force of other creatures. He included these Rahi into his army and later invented special launchers, the Squid Launcher, for himself and the other Barraki, in return for a large realm undersea.

He had three eyes after being mutated, however a clash began between him and Pridak over how much bigger Kalmah´s territory expanded. Pridak won, and punished Kalmah's insolence by permanently blinding him in his central eye.

Personality
"The silent killer ... stronger than he was fast, but was able to glide silently through the water and seize and squeeze prey to death in his tentacle. Five smaller tentacles on the back of his head let him sense motion behind him. Three eyes, but he was blind in one (his top eye) due to a disastrous past encounter with Pridak. Highly intelligent. Bred the sea Squid the Barraki used in their launchers, making sure they were kept half-starved and vicious so they were ready for prey. Led an army of giant Squid."

Powers & Tools
Kalmah's main weapon was his tentacle that extended from both sides of his left "hand". He had five smaller sensory tentacles on the back of his head. The tentacles on the back of his head allowed him to sense suprise attacks before hand in battle. He also wielded a Squid Launcher. In addition to his vampiric Squid that aid all of the Barraki, Kalmah's army mainly consisted of Giant Squid.

Kalmah possessed considerable strength, as well as limited regeneration abilities, allowing him to re-grow certain parts of his body (though apparently not his eye). Apparently, he could also share memories with his Squids through physical contact.

Trivia
