Nektann lived, with the other Skakdi on [[Zakaz]], in peace. When [[Spiriah]] visited Zakaz, Nektann, along with the other Skakdi, was altered. He gained elemental and vision-based powers, but it is unknown if he is one of the Skakdi who gained additional powers as well. He was also the leader of the Skakdi tribe for a time. Nektann once ordered a shipment of automated weapons from [[Xia]]. The weapons were then named after him, because he was the first to use them. Sometime later, Axonn and Brutaka asked Nektann to lead his Skakdi tribe against the Brotherhood of Makuta on an island on the Southern Islands in the Destiny War. Nektann, not being very convinced, threated to throw the Order of Mata Nui members in his Tatorak pen. Axonn lied to Nektann telling him that they had told the other Skakdi leaders to help in the War. Nektann agreed and fought against the Rahkshi.

— Nektann to Brutaka and Axonn, Destiny War

Nektann was a formidable Skakdi warlord who once resided on Zakaz with many others of his kind. When Teridax gained control of the Matoran Universe, Nektann led his forces and many other allies in a giant battle against the inhabitants of Bara Magna. At the end of the battle, Nektann and his warriors were forced to surrender after Teridax's death. 

History

Matoran Universe

Nektann lived, with the other Skakdi on Zakaz, in peace. When Spiriah visited Zakaz, Nektann, along with the other Skakdi, was altered. He gained elemental and vision-based powers, but it is unknown if he is one of the Skakdi who gained additional powers as well. He was also the leader of the Skakdi tribe for a time. Nektann once ordered a shipment of automated weapons from Xia. The weapons were then named after him, because he was the first to use them.

Sometime later, Axonn and Brutaka asked Nektann to lead his Skakdi tribe against the Brotherhood of Makuta on an island on the Southern Islands in the Destiny War. Nektann, not being very convinced, threatened to throw the Order of Mata Nui members in his Tahtorak pen. Axonn lied to Nektann telling him that they had told the other Skakdi leaders to help in the War. Nektann agreed and fought against the Rahkshi.

Battle of Bara Magna

After the War, Teridax took control of the Matoran Universe. Seeing an opportunity to gain power and a position unlike any other, and also finding it futile to fight against the being who was now in control of the universe, Nektann joined forces with Teridax. As the Great Spirit Robot journeyed to Bara Magna, Nektann rallied a massive army of Skakdi. Upon Teridax's arrival on the planet, Nektann, his army, and hordes of Heat-Vision Rahkshi began fighting the Toa, Glatorian and any other inhabitants of Bara Magna willing to oppose them. The Battle of Bara Magna had begun. 

As the battle waged on, Nektann confronted Tahu, tormenting the Toa of Fire and fiercely fighting him. When Tahu summoned his elemental powers and began to melt Nektann's armor, the Skakdi leader was left injured for the rest of the battle. 

Following Teridax's defeat, the collapse of the Great Spirit Robot, and the destruction of the Rahkshi hordes - Nektann and the remaining Skakdi and Skrall surrendered to their adversaries. It is unknown as to what happened and whether or not they were punished for their actions, although it is presumed that they survived.
