Iruini

"I don’t care if it sings, dances, and can juggle Kanohi blindfolded. Can it get us out of here?"

- Toa Iruini, talking about Miserix

Iruini was a Toa Hagah of Air. He was mutated into a Rahaga, but later turned back into a Toa.

Matoran
Iruini was once a Le-Matoran. Not much is Known about his Matoran Life.

Toa
Not much is known of Iruini's life before his recruitment into the Toa Hagah. What is known was that he was active as a Toa for quite some time beforehand, operating as a member of another Toa team. Whether or not Iruini was the leader of this team hasn't been revealed. When the Brotherhood of Makuta decided that Makuta Teridax needed Toa bodyguards, Iruini was selected as representative Toa of Air of the new team. He was endowed with metallic armor to indicate his status as an elite Toa, and his former teammates presented him with his current Kanohi Kualsi as a badge of honor.

Toa Hagah
Iruini's new Toa team performed their task well and protected Teridax from things like Rahi intrusions. He quit the team after they rebelled against the Brotherhood, believing they spent too much time on huge menaces and not enough on ever-present dangers. So he escaped the ambush that took most of his team and allied with Norik on a quest to save Gaaki, Pouks, Kualus and Bomonga from the Brotherhood's Visorak. He and Norik managed to rescue them, but were mutated into Rahaga by Roodaka.

Rahaga
After their mutation, the Rahaga dedicated themselves to aiding victims of the Visorak. During this time, they rescued and then helped the Toa Hordika resist the Visorak invasion of Metru Nui. They even helped the Toa Hordika save the Matoran. They were recently transformed by Roodaka into their normal selves, under the Toa Nuva's command.

Toa Hagah again
"I am Toa Iruini. My friends and I have just completed a mission on Vortixx. That island was half-leveled in the process, and let me guess-–you’re here to level the other half."

- Iruini to The Shadowed One

The Toa Hagah had been fighting the Tahtorak and the Kanohi Dargon when Toa Gaaki Used her Kanohi Mask of Clairvoyance to see that there were hundreds of Dark Hunters. Toa Iruini Said, "I spent One Thousand Years as a Rahaga- Now I'm back in action and I love it." Using his Kanohi Kualsi he raced to the spire to the flagship of the oncoming fleet. He soon found out that "The Shadowed One" was on the Ship and so was Toa Helryx, the leader of The Order of Mata Nui. She was flanked by a warrior in golden armor and a four armed giant with two long horns coming out of his head. She nodded and the golden warrior vanished. He reappeared an instant later with the other five members of the Toa Hagah in tow. Norik took her on and using a fraction of her powers she send a blast of water from her palms smashing into three Dark Hunters. Toa Helryx told them she had a job for them. The Order of Mata Nui was mounting an attack on the Brotherhood of Makuta, but their leader eluded them. Their best information told them that Teridax was last seen in the Pit in the Maxilos robot. All of the Toa Hagah noded except Toa Gaaki. The mission was to find Teridax. Gaaki says, "Death ..... all around ... we are going to a place of death ... and one of us will not return!"

The Toa Hagah hoped that their return would be a lot nicer. Their Goal: track down the missing Teridax before he could execute the final sages of the plan. The only way to find him would be to smash the Coliseum. The Toa Mahri got on edge after they said, "We are here to destroy your most important building." After that the Mahri started to attack them. Toa Kualus teamed up with Bomonga in an effort to pin down Nuparu. Toa Kualas used his mask of rahi control. A huge hand came out of the ground grabbing Nuparu. Toa Hahli Blasted Kualus with a powerful blast of water. But the monster Toa Kualas used to have under control was on a rampage. It erupted from the ground. Well over 60 feet high it walked over to Ko-Metru. The Toa Hagah and Toa Mahri Stoped fighting and went to stop the giant beast. But Jaller and Norik had already discovered the Beasts Fear. Fire. Their twin blasts drove it back into Po-Metru. The creature wasn't about to go quietly. It hurled Toa Nuparu trough the sky at deadly speed. Hewkii whirled and used his Garai as he had never before, applying just enough power to slow the Toa of Earth without ripping him apart. Bomonga at max size, landed a rain of blows on the rahi. He might as well of been a Toa of Water summoning a light spring of rain. Now it was Kongu and Iruini's turn, as they combined all their air power with the power of the Toa of Fire to create a swirling tornado of flame. The Rahi was directly in the eye of the storm, which was so hot it melted nearby mountains into slag. The beast Feinted. Pouks, Hewkii, Norik, and Jaller then used their powers to carve a tunnel through the ground beneath the Coliseum while the other Toa lifted the huge structure, and Pouks then worked with Norik to seal the tunnel behind them as they went.

Whle underground, the team came across a inscription on the wall in a dialect which none of them could realize. Pouks suddenly brought on the fact that their mission had been going well, and as if that triggered the traps, the Hagah were magnetically forced to the ceiling, while molten Protodermis rushed down to destroy them.

They were saved by Makuta Miserix. Then Miserix, the Toa Hagah and Zaktan were soon in another chamber. While the other Hagah talked to Miserix, Pouks attempted copying the Makuta's power, although he was slashed across the face by the dragon, who claimed he 'didn't like being imitated'. Inside another tunnel they soon found across a room filled with machinery, and two corpses. Miserix tore off a section of one of the corpse's armor, and found out that it was not made of Protodermis. Suddenly a portal opened and beings emerged. The beings turned out to be Helryx and Keetongu, while Axonn and Brutaka emerged from another portal. After Zaktan was killed by Teridax, (and Brutaka's mask was shattered by a blast of energy) Brutaka revealed that they were inside the mind of the Great Spirit. Miserix was then transformed into an image in the room by Teridax, while the Hagah were hit with a wave of mental energy that would make them see only happiness and peace in everything, even when others were in peril. They then talked and laughed with each other as they left the chamber.
