Vakama was the Toa of Fire on Metru Nui.

Metru Nui

Vakama was once one of the city's top mask-maskers, with skills so well respected that Turaga Dume personally asked him to create a Vahi Mask of Time - and he had just failed for the umpteenth time when Toa Lhikan delivered him his Toa Stone. Now he has become a Toa Metru, but he is not always certain he is ready for the role of hero. At times he misses his old life in the foundries, crafting masks for others to wear. Vakama has always been plagued by strange visions of the future. Often their meaning is not clear, and it is a "talent" he has always hidden from others. It is only later that he will discover that those visions are key to saving the city. He has the wisdom and the courage to be a leader, but is not sure he wants that role. Nokama, however, feels strongly that Vakama is the best suited to lead the Toa Metru.

Vakama wears the Kanohi Huna, the Great Mask of Concealment. It allows him to turn invisible, although even in that state, he still casts a shadow. He discovers his mask power after Turaga Lhikan dies. He carries a Kanoka disk launcher that can be used as a Jetpack. Although his disk launcher can channel his Elemental Fire power, Vakama often transmits it through his hands.

Toa Hordika

Vakama is probably the most at risk in his Hordika state, as his reckless determination seems to accelerate his mutation. He eventually turned against the other Toa when Roodaka offered him command of the Visorak horde. Vakama's tools are two Blazer Claws, which serve to charge his Fire Rhotuka spinner or light torches.
