This is one of my “old mocs” and he was also once featured on my original YouTube channel back in 2008. Since then he’s practically gone through little to no changes. He’s the last of the “good guys” for the first third of the first arc in my storyline which you guys can read about here: My Bionicle Storyline. Probably not gonna revamp this guy or do anything too drastic to him so… yeah.
Biography
Bhytiel, lived with the other members of the Earth Tribe under the rule of the Elemental Lord of Earth on Spherus Magna for several millennia. After the Earth tribe instigated the Core War, Bhytiel was forced to fight as a soldier in the war. When the war had ended in The Shattering, Bhytiel was left stranded on Bara Magna while his Tribe was sent off on Bota Magna.
Being that the Earth tribe’s deceit caused the Core War, members of the Earth tribe were ostracized by the other tribes. As such, Bhytiel was unable to be employed as a Glatorian in the arena. Bhytiel was forced to wander the wastelands of Bara Magna and salvage resources to survive.
When Makuta Teridax invaded Bara Magna, Bhytiel refused to fight, as he had been outcast by the other Glatorian and did not care for their survival. Bhytiel remained in hiding until the battle ended.
When Spherus Magna was reformed, Bhytiel went on a journey to reunite himself with the rest of his tribe. This journey would be interrupted, however, by the arrival of the To-Kuta. Instead of fighting, Bhytiel instead chose to stick to the shadows and observe the To-Kuta, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Bhytiel would eventually encounter and save To-Kuta Takyva, who had been pinned by To-Kuta Rokhyd. Takyva explained that he had defected from the To-Kuta but didn’t know what his next steps were. Bhytiel suggested that he unite the remaining Toa in the region in one final effort against the To-Kuta.
Takyva and the Glatorian began travelling together, using the elemental energy tracker Takyva salvaged from the Marendar to find other Toa. The two would then come to find two Toa, Hedrucs, Toa of Thunder, and Kyzor, Toa of Magnetism, both of whom Takyva previously encountered, defeated in combat, and spared. Takyva pitches the idea of uniting to them and they agree. The Toa bring Takyva and the Glatorian to an underground base they discovered. Hedrucs suggests the base was built during the early days of the To-Kuta war, noting the barracks and war room being present. Hedrucs also mentions that there is a second level deeper underground, which neither he nor Kyzor have managed to open.
Some time would pass as Takyva recruits two more Toa: Reishie and Nhytrix. While back at the base, the To-Kuta, using the elemental locator, ambush the Toa and Takyva, soon overpowering them. However just as they are about to win, a mysterious force teleports the To-Kuta away, saving the Toa’s lives. In the aftermath of this, the Toa discover that the door to the second sublevel had been unlocked.
While exploring the sublevel, the Toa discover that it was in fact, an armoury, that had suspiciously been stocked with weapons custom tailored to each of the Toa, except for Reishie. Bhytiel received a pair of mechanical enhancements for his legs that allow him to jump higher and run faster, as well as a new pair of twin blades.
Currently, the Toa prepare for their final battle against the To-Kuta of the region.
Mask and Tools
Bhytiel, being a Glatorian, does not wear any mask. However, he does wear a helment unique to him as a Glatorian.
Initially, Bhytiel uses a pair of hook blades. However, after discovering the Glatorian armory in the sublevel, Bhytiel receives a pair of twin blades, akin to the blades Gresh wielded during the battle against Teridax.
Abilities and Traits
Bhytiel is very passive in nature. When the Core War started, Bhytiel fought purely out of necessity. After The Shattering, when his tribe was ostracized by the rest of the Glatorian, Bhytiel grew cold and developed a grudge against the Glatorian. However, after being through the To-Kuta war and encountering To-Kuta Takyva, Bhytiel finally started developing hope.
Being a Glatorian of the Earth tribe, Bhytiel possesses innate elemental powers of Earth which have not yet been activated.
