Hafu

"Another Hafu original!"

- Hafu, Mata Nui Online Game.

Hafu was a proud Po-Matoran Carver, who was especially proud of and devoted to his work.

Metru Nui
Hafu was probably a Carver on Metru Nui. Later, the Vahki captured him and he was put into a Matoran Pod and taken away.

Quest for the Masks
On Mata Nui he became a carver, and one of the best. He joined the Chronicler's Company, and his carving skills came in handy when they came across large boulders blocking their narrow path to Kini-Nui - while Taipu moved some of the rocks, Hafu took care of the biggest one in a creative way: He turned it into a statue of himself, declaring it "another Hafu original!" He then defended the Kini-Nui from the Rahi when they tried to bring down the temple upon the Toa Mata who were battling Makuta.

Bohrok Conflict
When the Tahnok were about to invade Po-Koro, he had to knock down his life's work that decorated the gates of the village. It seemed he was about to sacrifice his life, but Pohatu saved him. Along with the other Po-Matoran, he ventured to Ga-Koro to find sanctuary. After the Pahrak were deactivated, he went back to Po-Koro with Turaga Onewa after they invented a new type of Kohlii.

Mask of Light
He joined the Po-Koro Kolhii Team along with Hewkii. They made it to the tournament in Ta-Koro, but finished second in an upset to the Ga-Koro Kolhii Team.

Return to Metru Nui
Along with the Matoran, Hafu later returned to Metru Nui and helped to rebuild it until the Staff of Artahka did the rest. Hafu was also in the ceremony held for Matoro at the Coliseum. He was in the Coliseum when Teridax announced his takeover of Mata Nui.

Reign of Shadows
Macku summoned Kapura and Hafu and introduced them to Tuyet. Together they formed an alliance. Tuyet showed them a rock only about the size of her fist, telling them that she could overthrow Teridax and that she had been dead for 2000 years. They later met up with Lewa who was actually being controlled by Tren Kom. Kapura was overjoyed, but Hafu was doubtful. The four then arrived to the Core Processor where Helryx was held. Tren Krom then freed Miserix from his illusion and revealed who he was. Helryx then told the two Matoran to leave. Hafu was going to argue, but Kapura stopped him. Before they could exit, Axonn and Brutaka appeared as well. Arguing about the fate of the Universe, two sides were drawn with Helryx, Miserix and Axonn wanting to destroy Teridax, and Brutaka, Tuyet and Tren Krom wanting to leave the Universe alive. Artakha appeared and stopped the fighting, then returned the real Lewa to his body. Soon after, Makuta asked them all to leave and when they refused they were teleported into the space above Aqua Magna.

As he was not being teleported with the others, Lewa grabbed onto Brutaka and was teleported with them. He created air bubbles around everyone's heads (other than Miserix's, who, as a gaseous life forms, didn't need to breathe). They were then saved by Vezon, who brought them to a tower on Bota Magna, where they encountered a Great Being who had been cursed by the Ignika.

Personality
Hafu was extremely devoted to his work, and had a somewhat large ego, considering his carving skills to be unmatched. He usually spent most of his time away from other Po-Matoran and working on his carvings. However, despite his arrogance and tendency to show off, he was dedicated to his friends and was both brave and strong.
