" Sometimes you can’t do what your heart tells you to … sometimes you have a duty to something greater than yourself. "
— Balta, Power Play
The first Toa knight from the island of Doom, Voya Nui.
His bravery against the Piraka did not go unnoticed, and he was appointed to be one of the new Toas Knights, who would protect the Kingdom.
Becoming Toa, his Repellers tools became much more powerful weapons. Now he can activate the power of his weapons just by thinking, no longer needing to cross the blades.
In a destroyed world, he strives to live up to the Toa mantle and helps in the defense and reconstruction of the new home. After all, “We haven’t survived this long just to give up.”

Origin: It is a matoram that was rebuilt by Karzahni, but in a new, weakened form. To compensate for this, he received a pair of Repellers. Said That, I don’t think his transformation into Toa could be something “traditional” as he is not a traditional matoran.
Toa Transformation: As he is an “imperfect” and “weak” matoran, I thought of his Toa transformation as being something imperfect as well, and to compensate for that, his weapons would evolve and become powerful as well.
The whole idea behind this set revolves around the idea of the “weak, reconstructed and imperfect matoran”. That’s why I made it in such a way that it had a unique curved body, just like the sets of the matorans on Voya Nui, each one unique.
I tried to extract the essence of its original set in this new Toa form and kept some main characteristics of the set: color, the hunchback posture, the set of blades. He is smaller than the other Toa, just like his original matoran set.
