The Shadowed One

The Shadowed One was the founder and leader of the Dark Hunters. His real name was lost to history, and none would dare speak it even if they knew it. The Shadowed One came from a land of ice and shadows, and when the Matoran and the Brotherhood of Makuta gained special status in serving Mata Nui, his people were ignored. He chose to try and build a name for himself, and started taking jobs that Matoran were too scared to do and that were considered beneath the Brotherhood. This eventually grew into the mighty Dark Hunter Organization.

The Shadowed One started the Toa/Dark Hunter War when Turaga Dume refused to let the Dark Hunters Build a base in Metru Nui. Later, he visited Metru Nui in search of his two operatives, Nidhiki and Krekka, thinking them dead and Toa responsible - until Vakama made him realize that Makuta was the one who killed them. After a fight between the two entities, Makuta threw him at Voporak and he aged three thousand years in a matter of seconds, it is unknown on how many years The Shadowed One has left. Because of this incident, the Shadowed One has declared war with the Brotherhood of Makuta. This war is still ongoing.

The Shadowed One could fire beams from his eyes that disintegrated whatever he looked at. He also had a Rhotuka Launcher that fired madness spinners, and he wielded a staff that could create Solid and Crystalline Protodermis.

Currently, "The Shadowed One" faces a difficult decision: to either keep all of his Dark Hunters fighting against the Brotherhood of Makuta or send half of them to go after the Mask of Life, leaving the other half vunerable to attack.
