Vican

"I traveled to a village in my area of control in search of a Matoran brave/desperate/stupid enough to volunteer. I was fortunate enough to run across a villager named Vican, eager to find a more adventurous life for himself. What he got for the loss of his light instead was a life of shadow and the honor of being my assistant... a more than fair trade, in my estimation. "- Mutran's description on how he selected Vican in The Mutran Chronicles

Vican was a Shadow Matoran residing on the Southern Continent. The first ever Shadow Matoran, he was paired up with Mutran, but was not needed to act as his "eyes" as the other three did with their Makuta partners, he was instead intended to be a lab assistant to Mutran. Mutran took him to Karda Nui with him where he continued his work in the Shadow Leech Hives, until Toa Ignika destroyed the sentient stone cord holding up the structure, sending it hurtling into the Swamp of Secrets. Vican was then attacked and cured by a klakk and therefore became the first Matoran to be affected by the Shadow Leeches and the first to be cured.

Trivia

 * Vican was never an Av-Matoran. He used to be a simple Le-Matoran, then Mutran mutated him into a Shadow Matoran. Vican then served him faithfully, partly out of his own madness, partly in hope that Mutran would return him to his former shape if he did a good job.
 * Vican was first to discover the Klakk's special power.
