Artakha (Being)

Artakha is Karzahni's "brother" and the ruler of Artahka, the Great Refuge. Long before Mata Nui was sent into the world by the Great Beings, Artakha and Karzahni were created and given their own realms to guard by the Great Beings. While Karzahni lived in a horrific place where Matoran were sent to be repaired, Artakha chose to govern a refuge where no evil could enter. For a long time, they were both believed to be simply legend, but Karzahni and his realm were recently discovered to be real, proving that the legends (or at least those concerning Karzahni) were true. The Toa Nuva recently encountered the voice of Artakha and received new adaptive amor, masks, and weapons from him.

Legends says that Artakha bears the Mask of Creation and that nobody has even seen him in person. Some presumed him to be a Great Being while others think he is Mata Nui himself, although these facts have been disproved. However, it is known that Artakha is a great designer and many modern cities such as Metru Nui was based on his designs of his own island, Artakha. Many of the early Toa Tools were said to be crafted by him and the Matoran which worked for him. It is said that shall a Matoran want anything built, they would leave the materials at the gate of his fortress and return the next day to find their desired object made for them.
