Icarax

"A Makuta ... named Icarax ... he was already there ... stole the staff. He was wearing the Mask of Shadows .. said the Brotherhood was his now ... and soon the realm of Karzahni will be too ..."

- Onua Nuva to the other Toa Nuva and Toa Hagah, shortly after being nearly killed by Icarax

Icarax was the Makuta of Karzahni and was one of the most experienced Makuta in battle. While Teridax was on Voya Nui, he telepathically communicated with Icarax and told him to retrieve the Kanohi Kraahkan from the Silver Sea. Icarax retrieved and wore it. Teridax then instructed Icarax to retrieve the Staff of Artakha, which he did, defeating Onua and revealing himself to him, who then told the other Toa Nuva. He then headed to Karzahni and, because they needed the staff, the Toa Nuva followed him there. Icarax fought and defeated all the Toa Nuva in battle except Gali, who swept him away with a Nova Blast. Afterwards, he managed to travel to Mahri Nui where he handed over the Staff to Teridax. Icarax will soon assist his fellow Makuta in the assault in the Universe Core, though he will not be part of the initial attack.

Abilities and Traits
Like other Makuta, Icarax possessed powerful elemental Shadow powers. He also had the ability to shape-shift, produce Kraata (and by extention Rahkshi), and had access to Rahkshi powers.

Icarax had a reputation as one of the fiercest warriors in the Brotherhood, and even his fellow Makuta were nervous about working with him.

Icarax wanted to take control of the Brotherhood, because he thought that Teridax's schemes were too complex and convoluted. In his mind, demolishing all opponents was the way to go. He also believed he would do a better job as leader than Teridax had been doing.

Mask and Tools
Icarax wore the Kanohi Kraahkan, the Mask of Shadows. and was equipped with a Tridax Pod and rotating shadow blades with a magnetism shield.

Set Information
Icarax was released in Feburary 08.

Icarax is a Toysrus exclusive.

 * Icarax crushed Botar with his power of magnetism resulting in his death somewhere near the island that the legend Tren Krom inhabited in the story serial Federation of Fear.
