Tarix

"The secret to being a winner is already knowing the mistakes losers make … and not making them yourself."

- Tarix

Tarix was the Prime Glatorian of the Water Tribe.

History
Tarix fought in the Core War under the Element Lord of Water. After the shattering, Tarix was the victor of a thousand arena matches. He became an experienced fighter from his battles as a Glatorian. He accompanied Gresh on his way to fight a Skrall. He, Strakk and Gresh had to fight off the Bone Hunter, Fero and the Ferocious rock steed Skirmix. They won but while Fero and Skirmix were retreating Strakk was trampled by the running Skirmix. They then ran into a pack of Vorox, they managed to fight them off for a while, they were signaled away by the exiled Glatorian Malum. He saved Gresh in the arena when a Skrall tried to kill him unfairly. Later, he journeyed to Arena Magna to participate in the Great Tournament. The first match, Tarix versus Strakk, was interrupted when an army of Skrall attacked the arena. Tarix, along with some other Glatorian, tried to distract the Skrall to let the Agori escape. However, they soon had to retreat.

Later, he went to Tesara for a match with Vastus. After the match, Mata Nui used the Ignika to give him elemental powers over Water. He later helped defeat the Skrall along with the other Glatorian.

Personality
Tarix was highly respected as being a fierce but fair foe. He was one of the Glatorian who designed the Glatorian fighting system, in which instead of having wars with each other to declare the resource for their village, each village would send one Glatorian to fight each other for the resource. He was, for being a Glatorian, very noble.

Powers & Tools
Tarix wielded water blades that were found in ruins near Tajun and a Thornax Launcher.

Mata Nui used the Mask of Life to give Tarix the Elemental power of Water.
