Umbra

"I am Umbra. I guard the Mask. You shall not pass."

- Umbra to the Toa Inika.

Umbra was a giant warrior who lived on Voya Nui, guarding the Ignika from those who would misuse it. He was appointed as the first guardian of the Ignika's staircase by the Order of Mata Nui, though he is not and never was a member of the Order, he was simply a servant. Anyone who wished to claim the mask would have to defeat him in battle first, even Order members. When Voya Nui traveled back to its original place, he continued to wait for the Ignika to be returned, so as to continue his eternal destiny.
