History

Both brothers forged several Masks of Power for the islanders of Okoto, but Ekimu's were most treasured and islanders have always favored Ekimu's masks . Eventually, Makuta grew jealous of his brother, and in violation of a sacred law against creating a mask containing all six elements, he forged the Mask of Ultimate Power with recycled his old projects. Then he went to the Capital City Museum with the Groundskeeper to show the Mask of Ultimate Power to villagers when Ekimu is busy. After a small speech of Makuta about Mask of Ultimate Power, he took on the mask. When Makuta put on the Mask of Ultimate power, he was corrupted by it and the mask caused entire island to shake and crumble.

A picture of Ekimu and Makuta's battle from Bionicle Graphical Novel 02: The Battle of The Mask Makers.

To stop Makuta from destroying Okoto, Ekimu came to the Capital City Museum with his airship. Ekimu was yelling Makuta to take off the mask but he couldn't hear Ekimu at that situation. After all, Ekimu jumped from the Airship, knocked the mask off from Makuta's face with his Hammer of Power. The sudden disconnection caused a catalysmic shockwave. The shockwave resulting from the attack scattered the Masks of Power all over the island and left both Ekimu and Makuta incapacitated indefinitely. After the shockwave, Ancient Protectors find Ekimu's lifeless body and laid Ekimu to rest. After the revive of Ekimu, Ekimu continued his work.

Equipment

Both Maskmakers bore special Masks of Power: Ekimu wore the Mask of Creation and Makuta wore the Mask of Control. Each also bore the Hammer of Power which they used both for making masks and for combat.
