[carve] Biography
Long before Mata Nui was created by the Great Beings, Artakha and Karzahni were created and given their own realms to guard by the Great Beings, Artakha choosing to name his after himself. Soon after his creation, Artakha and his brother competed for the Mask of Creation, a fight which Artakha narrowly won. While Karzahni lived in a place where Matoran were sent to be repaired, Artakha chose to govern a place of light where Matoran could work in peace and comfort. During this time, Artakha acted as an engineer, creating various objects for anyone who asked, including supplying weaponry to the Order of Mata Nui.
Thousands of years later, an invasion orchestrated by the Brotherhood of Makuta, and led by Kojol, took Artakha by surprise. Utilizing every aspect of his islands defenses, he managed to stall the invading forces, but was unable to halt them entirely, and they breached his fortress. Kojol personally entered the lair and managed to make off with the Mask of Light of Artakha's creation, alerting the ruler to the involvement of the Brotherhood.
In response to the invasion, Artakha requested that the Order of Mata Nui destroy all maps and charts of his location. The inhabitants of Artakha's realm also destroyed a land bridge connecting it to a larger, uninhabited island, and the Order eliminated any being with the knowledge of Artakha's location – including Kojol and members of the Order. Eventually, Artakha and his island were gradually forgotten and faded into legend, and he was left to continue making supplies needed across the world.
During their visit to the realm of Artakha, the Toa Nuva spoke to Artakha from outside his fortress, during which Artakha asked to hear the tales of the Nuva's recent adventures. After listening to them, Artakha gifted the Toa with his greatest creation, Adaptive Armor, and teleported them to Karda Nui.
[carve] Legends
Legends say that nobody has even seen him in person except his "brother", Karzahni. Some presume him to be a Great Being while others think he is Mata Nui himself, although these ideas are false. However, it is known that Artakha is a great designer and many islands based their cities, such as Metru Nui, on the design of his own island of Artakha. It is said that should a Matoran want the impossible built, they should leave the materials at the gate of his fortress and return the next day to find their desired object made for them.
[carve] Dark Mirror
In the Toa Empire Pocket Dimension, Artakha still made the Great Disks, but chose to keep them to study, and later discovered how to make the Vahi. He later handed over the Vahi to several Toa, as requested by Tuyet.
[carve] Abilities and Traits
Artakha wears the Kanohi Mask of Creation, a mask that allows him to envision what he plans to create, and how to make it, before he actually crafts it.
Artakha has the ability to change the weather and topology of his realm at will, although his means of doing so remain unknown. He can also teleport himself and others. This ability is even greater than a Makuta's teleportation ability, being able to teleport past Karda Nui's shields.
Artakha can also create Toa, but only if Mata Nui or the Great Beings request it and supply the necessary materials.
