Unnamed Av-Matoran

"In the world that feeds the world, of course. The wellspring of flame that blazes bright, yet burns none but its bearer. And he, oh, he it burns until there is nothing left, not even ashes."

- The insane Matoran, telling the future Toa Inika where he and his friends made the Toa Canisters

An unnamed, probably insane, Matoran lived in Karzahni. He was one of the Matoran of Light who built the Toa Canisters in the Universe Core. He met Jaller, Hahli, Hewkii, Nuparu, Matoro, and Kongu during their time in Karzahni. He disguised his colors so as not to reveal that he was a Matoran of Light, so in appearance he was battered and dirt encrusted. He also had a badly twisted leg.

History
Most of the Matoran's history is unknown, but it is known that at some point shortly after he and his friends had finished building the Toa Canisters in the Universe Core, he was sent to Karzahni by boat, and his mask was removed by Karzahni and replaced with another.It is also known that he went to inform Tren Krom that his time was past, and that Mata Nui had come to take control of the universe, losing his sanity when he came into contact with the entity. Shortly afterwards he forgot his name. He hid in a chamber out of Karzahni's sight for hundreds of years.

Eventually, the Matoran who would soon become Toa Inika arrived in Karzahni on their way to Voya Nui. They met this Matoran. He led them to the Toa Canisters he and his friends had built for the Toa Mata. They wanted to use the canisters to go to Voya Nui, but the insane Matoran protested, saying, "Only a Toa so mighty may ride, anyone else, woe betide."

The Matoran were about to leave anyway when Karzahni walked in with Hahli and threatened to destroy the canisters. But Matoro challenged him, and Karzahni gave all of the Matoran a vision of what would happen if Mata Nui died. Karzahni was stunned, and the insane Matoran realized that there was still hope for the universe because Mata Nui was not dead yet. The future Toa Inika left in the canisters, and from there. Later the Matoran escaped along with the other Matoran to Metru Nui later that the Toa Nuva Destroyed The Realm.
