Ackar

"There's more to winning a fight than fancy weapons."

- Ackar, BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn.

Ackar was the Prime Glatorian of the Fire Tribe.

History
Ackar came into being on Spherus Magna prior to any of the other Glatorian. He participated in the Core War on Spherus Magna, and fought for the Element Lord of Fire to claim the power of Energized Protodermis.

After the Shattering occurred, and the new social system had been developed, Ackar became a Glatorian of the Fire Tribe, and eventually gained the position of Prime Glatorian. He has won the Great Tournament many times over the past years.

The Fire Tribe recently contracted Ackar to fight the Ice Tribe glatorian Gelu. Ackar defeated Gelu, earning Vulcanus a large supply of Exsidian.

Ackar, along with the other Glatorian, traveled to the Arena Magna in order to take part in the Great Tournament. The event was interrupted by the invading Skrall army, and Ackar fought beside the other Glatorian in order to fend them off. The Skrall army eventually overwhelmed the Glatorian and claimed the city. Ackar returned to Vulcanus with several Agori in order to inform the village of the occurrence. During Mata Nui's descent into the desert, Ackar was honing his fighting skills with Kiina and preparing for an upcoming match with Strakk. Ackar defeated Strakk in battle, only to be struck from behind by the ice warrior. Mata Nui intervened, challenging Strakk to a rematch and winning Ackar's friendship.

Abilities and Traits
Though a powerful warrior, Ackar has developed a confidence problem. Ackar himself attributes it to old age. Still, he is an incredible fighter, and a good tactician. Ackar is one of the top Glatorian on Bara Magna, and he has won the Grand tournament several times. Ackar's friendship with Mata Nui rekindled his fighting spirit, and he had gained his old strength back.

Tools
Ackar carried a Flame Sword, and also wielded a Thornax Launcher.

After the Ignika touched the Flame Sword, it changed its shape and Ackar gained the elemental power of fire.

Trivia
Ackar was voiced by Jim Cummings in BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn.
