Biography
When Makuta came down from Artakha in pursuit of his brother, he was jealous of the fact the Matoran worshipped his goodness. So he created the Brotherhood of Makuta, an evil organization run by him which swore to "protect the Matoran". The Brotherhood employed the Toa Hagah and helped the Toa fight the Dark Hunters in the Toa/Dark Hunter War. Meanwhile, of course, Makuta was planning to take over Metru Nui.

Makuta also used inlisted the help of Sidorak and Roodaka, two Visorak. In exchange for giving them power over the spiders, they would have to help him. And so they did. But Makuta was betrayed by the Toa Hagah, who realised he was evil. Roodaka then turned them into Rahaga for their incolence. After the war had been won, Dume took over as Turaga, and Makuta mysteriously disappeared, only to plot in the shadows.

Makuta soon unleashed the Morbuzakh, an evil plant which dwelled in Ta-Metru but extended its reach to the other Metru. His plan was to drive the Matoran to the Coliseum, where they would be put under his control. He also sent Nidhiki and Krekka, two former Toa to hunt down Lhikan, the only remaining Toa on Metru Nui and the Great Disks, the only weapons possible to destroy the Morbuzakh.

Lhikan was captured and turned into a Turaga, but not before he could give six Matoran the Toa Stones. Meanwhile, Makuta had begun seducing Dume, and ultimately took his mask and put it on. Now, Makuta was Turaga and leader of Metru Nui. He told the Vahki to go and capture the Matoran, and slowly, the Matoran were being brought to the Coliseum and put into special chambers in which they lay in statis.

However, the new Toa Metru learned of his plan, and, after defeating Krekka and Nidhiki, came to the Coliseum. There Makuta told them of his plan and said it was too late for them to stop it. After an attempt to kill them, the Toa got the Matoran out of the chambers and into a transport, which they hurriedly drove toward the Ga-Metru docks. Meanwhile, Makuta sucked Nidhiki, Nivawk, and Krekka into his essence, forming the Ultimate Dumerator.



Makuta pursued the Toa by air, following them through the Protodermis Sea to Mata Nui. There, at the entrance to the subterranean tunnels, he confronted Vakama, who defeated Makuta and sealed him in solid protodermis. Whilst the Toa took the Matoran to Mata Nui, the Visorak came to Mata Nui, along with Roodaka, Makuta's love.

Roodaka and Sidorak took over Metru Nui, and turned the Toa Metru into Toa Hordika. After they found Keetongu, they returned to the Coliseum and faced Roodaka. She was killed, but transferred the Toa elemental powers to break Makuta's seal. He was free.

On the passage back to Mata Nui, Vakama dropped the Vahi in the ocean. Seeking its power, Makuta journeyed down into the depths of the sea. There he confronted Vakama, but eventually the Mask of Time was captured by Voporak, a Dark Hunter. Makuta and Vakama then teamed up to get the Vahi out of the Shadowed One's grasp. Vakama got it, and then threatened to destroy it if Makuta came after him. Makuta promised to leave the Matoran alone for one year. The deal was done.

Makuta left them alone for a year, then struck with infected Rahi, which threatened the villagers. But the Matoran prevailed, and after a millenia, the Toa Mata washed up on shore and defeated the evil Rahi.

But for some reason even Makuta did not understand, the Bohrok that were supposed to level the island in the distant future awakened and started to rampage. Controlled by the Bahrag, the Bohrok threatened to destroy the island all in all. But the Toa defeated the Bahrag, and - even worse for Makuta - turned into Toa Nuva.

Whilst the Toa were fighting the Bohrok Kal, six Bohrok who fell into protodermis as well, Takua found the the Mask of Light, and he and Jaller set out to find the Toa of Light. Makuta sent the Rahkshi, his sons, to destroy the herald and his friend, and they partially succeeded, killing Jaller. But Takua put on the Mask, turning into Takanuva.

Takanuva then journeyed to Makuta's lair, and the two exchanged threats and other very dangerous things, including a deadly Kohlii ball. Makuta fell down, hit by the deadly ball, and then Takanuva took off the Mask of Shadows. The two fused, creating Takutanuva. Whilst holding up the gate to Metru Nui, it crushed Takuta Nuva. Takanuva survived, but Makuta did not, and was finally dead.
