Solek

"“This is just like that time you fought the acid-spitting air serpents, remember that?”"

- Solek

Solek was an Av-Matoran residing in Karda Nui. In physical contact with a Toa he could create solid light objects. He idolized Toa, and when the Toa Nuva arrived in Karda Nui he was overjoyed to finally fight alongside his role models. He also stated that he was best friends with Takua

Personality
Solek was excited to meet the three Toa Nuva, but he couldn't seem to contain his emotions for them. He knew more about his Toa role models than they knew themselves. Kopaka, in particular, is his idol; and Solek wanted to be like him.
