Toa Hagah
The Toa Hagah served the Brotherhood of Makuta as bodyguards, when it was an Organization dedicated to the protection of the Matoran. However, they discovered that the Brotherhood had turned corrupt and rebelled. They stole the Avohkii from the Brotherhood's stronghold. All but Iruini and Norik were caught soon afterward, and Roodaka mutated them into twisted Rahkshi-faced creatures she called Rahaga. Later when the other two rescued the others they were mutated as well.

Rahaga
The Rahaga decided to dedicate themselves to opposing the Brotherhood's armies of Visorak spiders, whom Roodaka was second-in-command of. In whatever lands the Visorak conquered, the Rahaga worked to rescue as much of the Rahi wildlife as possible from their clutches, in this way they learned the ways of Rahi and became master trackers. They also began to search for Keetongu, a mythical Rahi said to be able to counteract any poison, including the Visorak's Hordika venom.

In time, the Rahaga came to the city of Metru Nui, where Keetongu was said to be living. They hid the Mask of Light in the city, and themselves stayed hidden from the population, watching as Makuta put all of the city's Matoran to sleep and then become imprisoned by the Toa Metru. Soon afterward, the Visorak arrived in Metru Nui.

When the Toa Metru returned to the Visorak-controlled city, they were quickly captured and mutated by the Visorak's Hordika venom. The Rahaga then revealed themselves, saving the Toa from certain death, and offered their help in rescuing the Matoran and finding a cure for the mutation.

Toa Vakama eventually gave himself over to the feral side that the mutation unleashed and attacked the Rahaga, delivering five of them over to the Visorak's king, Sidorak. Norik, who was left behind to "deliver a message" to the other Toa, used new information to lead the Toa to Keetongu. Keetongu offered his help in fighting off the hordes, and in the following battle Norik was able to free his fellow Rahaga.

After helping the cured Toa Metru build airships to transport the Matoran to the island of Mata Nui, the Rahaga stayed on Metru Nui helping Turaga Dume to rebuild the city as much as they can. They also travelled from the city often, continuing to aid lands that the Visorak had previously conquered. They next welcomed the Matoran back to Metru Nui. They stayed there for awhile and learned that a Tahtorak was rampaging on Xia and went to help. On their way they encounterd Lewa, who was sent to get them. When the Rahaga arrived, they were turned back into Toa Hagah by Roodaka at the command of the Toa Nuva, as a favor to the Hagah.

Equipment
We do not know much about the equipment of Gaaki, Bomonga, Pouks and Kualus, but they presumably had similar armor and tools than Norik and Iruini, who carried big spears and Rhotuka Launching Shields. It is also possible, that the Kanohi of the other Toa Hagah were shaped to match past heroes masks, like Norik's Pehkui was. These are the tools the Toa Hagah carried:


 * Norik carries a Lava Spear and wears a Pehkui.
 * Iruini carries a Cyclone Spear and wears a Kualsi.
 * Kualus carries a Sub-Zero Spear
 * Bomonga carries a Seismic Spear

Trivia

 * Only Norik and Iruini were released as Toa in 2005. These two sets were supposed to be Toa forms of Toa Dume and Toa Nidhiki.
 * "Hagah" meant "guardian" in the Matoran language.
