"Ancient" was the inspiration of the creation of the Dark Hunter organization. He was one of The Shadowed One's most trusted agents, and was the only Dark Hunter who was older than his leader. He was also secretly an Order of Mata Nui member spying on the Dark Hunters.
[carve] Biography
A native to The Shadowed One's homeland, Ancient rebelled against the harsh rules of his homeland and created a new life for himself. Ancient started a business, doing dirty work for other people - for the right price. He changed a peaceful land into a place of corruption ruled by warlords. Ancient's loyalty could only be bought; he was more than happy to switch sides if a better offer was made.
At the end of a civil war, Ancient and The Shadowed One met and thus the idea for the Dark Hunters was born. Journeying together, the two discovered the island of Odina, where they seeded the base of their new organization. Soon after this, he was paid by the Order of Mata Nui to join them, and assigned as a spy in the Dark Hunters.
Millennia later, Ancient found Hakann and Vezok after they stole the Makoki Stone from the Toa Fortress besieged by Frostelus. He took the tablet from them, and recruited both Skakdi into the Dark Hunters.
Ancient was temporarily working with Voporak in search of the Vahi. Upon learning it was in Metru Nui, he returned to Odina, for Dweller was already stationed there. He also concluded that a raid of the island-city to retrieve the mask would likely fail.
After Ancient returned to Odina, he stood on the beach while the island's fortress was being rebuilt, watching the sea for Lariska's return. In doing so, he received a hidden message in the form of a specific flying formation by flying Rahi. He was ordered to try and convince The Shadowed One to help the Order, and if he failed, kill the Dark Hunter leader.
Ancient managed to persuade The Shadowed One, and they traveled to Xia with a large fleet of Dark Hunters to destroy the island in order to ensure the Vortixx can no longer provide weapons for the Brotherhood of Makuta. He was also tasked with observing the Dark Hunters and delivering regular reports to the Order of Mata Nui of their actions on Xia.
Ancient was then sent to find The Shadowed One to discuss the defense of Xia. After some searching, he found the body of a dead Vortixx, along with The Shadowed One, who had discovered the vials which contained the virus Makuta Kojol had brought to Xia prior to his death. After worrying Ancient with the knowledge of what they were going to do with these viruses, The Shadowed One killed Ancient with his disintegration beams in order to maintain the secret.
[carve] Abilities and Traits
Ancient had a large amount of strength, and his armor was immune to the majority of physical attacks. He wore boots containing levitation Kanoka which allowed him to float high into the air. Ancient's rapid-fire Rhotuka robbed a target of all physical coordination.
Like all Order of Mata Nui members, Ancient had his mind shielded from mental attacks.
[carve] Trivia
- Ancient was created by Connor Harvey, sent into the LEGO Magazine Dark Hunter Building Contest, and was given a storyline role by Greg Farshtey, and put into the BIONICLE: Dark Hunters guide.
- Ancient was the only being introduced in the series so far who knew The Shadowed One's real name. However, due to The Shadowed One's desire to keep it secret, he never revealed it.
