Okay, this is version 2 of Shornos.
V1 can be found here:
Here’s the story again.
I remember a city. The only city on an island. Thick stone walls, a trench beyond that, and all the while, rahkshi patrolling the top.
Poor Shornos. He never truly wanted to be ruler of an island. It just kind of happened.
When the brotherhood of Makuta first formed, Shornos rather liked the job. He quickly went out, and claimed an island for his rahi making and experiments. However, he wasn’t very good at making small, tame-ish rahi. He made large, ferocious rahi.
This did not appeal to the matoran of the island. In fact, they rather disliked the whole “Ten seconds and the villiage is gone.” Thing.
A few years later, there was only one city left, the city he ruled. The matoran fled to him for safety. He set his rahkshi of rahi control to guard, and they prevented anything from getting in.
Later, during the league of six kingdoms, Miserix assigned him to supply rahi to Carapar. Like the majority of the Makuta, he resented being forced to do this, so he sent only small, weak rahi. He. The matoran would have liked it if he did that from the start.
Not that it stopped him from experimenting. He loved to make new rahi. Bigger rahi. Rahi with more spikes. He loved to use his mask to make them more powerful.
Before Tyrant came and conquored the island, Shornos made a big mistake. He mutated a muaka in such a way that it could not be controlled by him or his rahkshi.
And it went on a rampage.
The more damage was done to it, the angrier it got. It tore through buildings, and even Shornos himself. Poor guy. Done in by his own handiwork.
The muaka found it’s way into the forest, and tore things apart.
Of course, Shornos had a plan in plase in case this happened. He had many Guurahk hidden in caves outside the city, and they went wild. Shornos had it planned perfectly so that when the large rahi were all gone, the Guurahk were almost all dead as well.
A few weeks later, Tyrant came to the island.

Front:
I fixed the T-shaped torso, along with the random burnt orange. (The burnt orange pieces are still there, due to lack of parts, but they are now hidden in the torso.)
Side:
I adjusted the arms and upper legs, making those parts custom. (I know people suggested I change the lower legs too, but I liked the look of them.)
Back:
Here you can see that the backs of the upper legs are kind of a mess. Unfortunately, I ran out of metru green armor, so I had to make do with the hands.
Now for some character-building-ish pictures.
This is an interesting specimen. (Note: That is Melum, not a MOC.)
Much too small.
Getting better.
Just a picture with Shornos and some rahkshi.
Now you will be perfected. (Note: This MOC is in no way sponsored by the Kane Chronicles, Rick Riordan, or Disney.)
“Um, sir.”
“I’m busy!”
“Some of the rahi got through again.”
sigh “Fine.”
Update
Adjusted upper legs and the torso armor.

Another Edit, more than two years later:
His mask is now the Kanohi Skelnar, mask of possibilities. It allows him to look into possible futures, and see possible consequences of actions. Looking farther into the future becomes exponentially more difficult due to the chaotic nature of all the branches of time that can be seen.
