Norik

Norik was a Toa of Fire who became the leader of Makuta Teridax's Toa Hagah team. He was mutated into a Rahaga, but was later turned back into a Toa.

Toa
Norik's life as a Toa and previously as a Matoran was unknown. It is known that he was a member of another Toa team. He was selected specially by the Brotherhood of Makuta to become the leader of Makuta Teridax's Toa Hagah team, on the merit of his previous accomplishments. Like all other Toa Hagah, he was endowed with metallic armor, a spear, and a Rhotuka Launching Shield. His now-former team presented him on his leave with a Kanohi Pehkui as a badge of honor to himself and a previous hero.

Toa Hagah


As a Toa Hagah, Norik now faced threats to Teridax like a Hoto bug invasion and the malfunctioning "Fohrok". The victories of his team caused Norik to become confident, and thus take a risk when they discovered the Brotherhood was corrupted and had stolen the Kanohi Avohkii. Norik led his team into the Destral Fortress and defeated Teridax, and took back the Mask of Light and the Makoki Stones.

Following their success, Norik went on a mission while Iruini had decided to quit the team in favor of fighting reoccurring threats rather than large threats. Unfortunately, Gaaki, Bomonga, Kualus, and Pouks were captured by Roodaka and taken to Destral. This prompted Norik to seek out a temporary alliance with Iruini and rescue them.

They discovered by now that the Brotherhood had amassed an army of Visorak and Exo-Toa, planning now to harm the Matoran and conquer other lands. They fought through these armies, and the Dark Hunter guardians there, including Nidhiki and Krekka, only to discover their allies had been mutated into Toa Hagah/Rahkshi fusions by Roodaka, who dubbed them "Rahaga", a combination of Rahkshi and Toa Hagah.

Roodaka confronted Norik and Iruini and mutated them into Rahaga as well. She allowed them to flee and ordered the Visorak not to pursue them, as they were no longer a threat, or so she perceived.

Rahaga
"Age makes us loud as well as wise."

After their transformation, the Rahaga began to despair, thinking they could no longer do anything useful. Norik, however, inspired them to be hopeful, and they set about helping the lands invaded by the Brotherhood's Visorak hordes. They also began searching for a legendary Rahi called Keetongu.

The Rahaga eventually traveled to Metru Nui and met up with the Toa Hordika in order to help free the Matoran. Toa Vakama eventually succumbed to his bestial side and captured all the Rahaga except Norik, delivering them to Sidorak, king of the Visorak. Norik and the remaining Toa finally managed to find Keetongu, and persuaded him to help them. During the final battle, Vakama saw the error of his ways and disbanded the hordes. The now-cured Toa Metru then took the Matoran to safety, and, while waiting for them to return, the Rahaga helped Turaga Dume in repairing the city. One thousand years later, the Rahaga were turned back into Toa by Roodaka, who was in the custody of the Toa Nuva.

Transformation
After becoming a Toa again, Norik helped stop the battle between the Tahtorak and the Kanohi Dragon. He waited for the Tahtorak to severely wound the Kanohi Dragon and used his slow spinner to slow the dragon down. Then Kualus stopped it with some ice blasts. After Gaaki used her mask of Clairvoyance, Norik sat down next to her and eased her. He then shared his prediction with the other Toa: the Dark Hunters are coming. He tried to stop Iruini from teleporting to there ships but it did not work. Soon afterward, the other Toa Hagah, were teleported to the ship by an Order of Mata Nui member with golden armor, to meet with Helryx. The Order lead then secretly informed them that they had to hunt down Makuta Teridax, with Zaktan as guide. Gaaki suddenly saw through her Mask of Clairvoyance that they will be journeying to a "place of death", and one of them will not return.

Powers, Mask, and Tools
As a Toa of Fire, Norik could create, control, and absorb heat and flame.

Norik's Kanohi was the Pekhui, which let him shrink to a minimum height of six inches while still maintaining his original level of strength. His Pehkui was carved in the shape of a Noble Kiril, but it was in honor of someone other than Turaga Dume (who also wore a Noble Kiril).

His main Toa Tool was a Lava Spear, which could focus his elemental flame powers, as well as shoot a stream of lava (the latter was the spear's power, not Norik's). He also carried a Rhotuka Launching Shield, and his Rhotuka Spinners could slow down a target.

As a Rahaga, Norik used a staff and snare Rhotuka.
