Mazeka

"I want to learn how to fight. I want to learn how to win clean … and win dirty. When I’m done, I want to be a master with a blade, with my fists, with any kind of weapon – and then I want you to get out of my way."

- Mazeka speaking to Jerbraz

Mazeka was a Ko-Matoran who rides Helryx's Swamp Strider. Trained by the Order of Mata Nui as an elite spy, Mazeka stars in the summer serial "Brothers in Arms" in his feud against Vultraz.

History
For a time, Mazeka resided on the Tren Krom Peninsula as a scholar, until his teacher was killed, and some tablets were stolen by Vultraz. Mazeka battled him, knocking him down a cliff seemingly to his death. Gorast, disguised as a blue warrior with a chain mace and shield, told Mazeka to spread the word of Vultraz' death. Although many congratulated him for this deed, he did not feel as happy. Later, sitting in his hut, he met the invisible Jerbraz, who told him to help him find a De-Matoran named Krakua. Mazeka and Jerbraz came to the De-Matoran village, where they saw a Ta-Matoran use a sonic weapon to knock out all the De-Matoran in the village, except Krakua, who's audio receptors had been covered by Mazeka's hands. The Ta-Matoran then attacked Mazeka, knocking his mask off, at which point Mazeka realized the Ta-Matoran was Vultraz. He was later trained by the Order of Mata Nui as an elite spy. He is currently on Destral with Tobduk trying to kill Makuta Tridax.
