Axonn is a powerful, armored giant who wields a Giant Axe and wears the Kanohi Rode, the Great Mask of Truth. He is a member of the secretive Order of Mata Nui; his affiliations have only been recently divulged, as have his recent whereabouts. Although he is best known as a first line of defense for the Kanohi Ignika, the Mask of Life, his life story is fascinating in its own right.

[carve] Biography

[carve] Pre-Voya Nui

Early chronicles reveal Axonn as being a member of the Hand of Artakha. When the Hand was disbanded, Axonn was bereft of purpose; he resorted to conquest, becoming one of the most powerful and feared beings in the universe. Whole cities fell before his axe, and he could have conquered the entire southern region by himself, were he not approached by a fellow former Hand member, Hydraxon, with a job offer: membership in the Order of Mata Nui.

The Order gave Axonn that which he lacked: a purpose for existence. With a new reason for living, Axonn gave up his dreams of empire and became a trusted member of the Order. Finally, after a number of adventures as an Order member, Axonn was stationed with his best friend, a tall scholar-warrior named Brutaka, near the village of Voya Nui. Their tasks were to protect the village's Matoran inhabitants, but more importantly, to guard the Mask of Life.

[carve] Voya Nui

Axonn and Brutaka both survived the Great Cataclysm, which sent the landmass containing Voya Nui rocketing up into the surface world. Unfortunately for Axonn, the events of the Great Cataclysm triggered a crisis of conscience in Brutaka, who began to believe that Mata Nui had betrayed his people. While Axonn firmly clung to the correct belief that Mata Nui had been cast into slumber but might one day reawaken to restore order to the universe, Brutaka began to lose heart.

During the millenium of peace on the newly created island of Voya Nui, Axonn continued to protect the Matoran while keeping his existence a secret. During a hurricane, Axonn rescued the Ko-Matoran named Kazi from falling and placed him where the other Matoran would find him.

1000 years after the Great Cataclysm, six Dark Hunters, who had defected from their organization, arrived on the island seeking the Mask of Life. Axonn tracked their movements in secret, eventually revealing himself to a Matoran named Balta, after saving his life. He also encountered Gali, driven mad after her encounter with the resistance, and healed her mind with his powers, releasing her to continue her duty. He continued to watch events until his ally and friend, Brutaka, betrayed him and the Order by incapacitating the Toa Nuva and their Matoran allies.

Angered by the betrayal, Axonn began to harass the Piraka. When he encountered Thok and Reidak, Axonn attacked them, engaging the two in battle. As he prepared for a final blow, however, Brutaka knocked him out with a blast of energy from his sword, enabling the Piraka to escape. Axonn eventually made it back to his hideout, encountering two Toa Inika and Matoran, whom he instructed to stop Brutaka at all costs. Axonn remained in his hideout, nursing his wounds until he was strong enough for battle.

After recovering, Axonn traveled to the Piraka Stronghold, where he witnessed Brutaka's defeat from having his energy absorbed by Hakann and Thok. Axonn volunteered to go after them, but was stopped by Jaller, who insisted it was the duty of his team. Axonn consented, and crafted a special Zamor sphere, and filled it with some of his own power, his ability to create stasis fields. He remained in the Stronghold, while Jaller led his team to defeat the Piraka. The Inika eventually recovered Brutaka's powers, which returned to him. After failing to convince his former ally to believe in the cause, Axonn engaged his friend in battle.

During the course of the battle, Axonn began to see the futility of his attempts to reason with Brutaka. Eventually, Axonn was driven into a rage, denouncing Brutaka's actions and attacking him with all his might. During the battle, Axonn noted Brutaka's eyes turning to the Antidermis Vat. Axonn destroyed the vat with his axe, scattering the essence to the wind, and destroying his former comrades last hope at defeating him. Axonn eventually defeated Brutaka with his powers, and called Botar to take him away. When his fellow Order member arrived to banish Brutaka to The Pit, however, Axonn vowed that he would save his friend.

After the battle, Axonn and Botar met up with the Matoran resistance and the newly-freed Toa Nuva. They informed the Nuva that, if the Inika succeeded in their mission to save Mata Nui's life, it would be time for the Nuva to awaken the Great Spirit. Axonn instructed the Nuva to return to Metru Nui, retrieve a scroll from the Great Temple, and accomplish each of the tasks listed on the scroll in order to prepare the universe for the Great Spirit's reawakening.

Later, when the Inika reappeared and it became evident that both teams of Toa had to leave the island on separate missions, Axonn volunteered to watch the Matoran of Voya Nui and protect them from the still-present threat of the Piraka. He also opened up an entrance to The Cord that connected Voya Nui to the lost underwater village of Mahri Nui, allowing the Toa Inika to continue their quest.

While the Piraka decided to stay hide and await an opportunity to strike, life on Voya Nui became peaceful once again. One of Axonn's more difficult tasks at this point was to convince the Matoran of Voya Nui to stay on the island, rather than attempt to search for Mahri Nui. When a Tahtorak that seemingly appeared from nowhere began to threaten the island, Axonn summoned Botar to teleport it away.

After the Toa Mahri led the Matoran of Mahri Nui into the tunnels of the Cord, Axonn defeated the mutated Piraka with an energy blast and guided the Toa Mahri to the Toa Terrain Crawler, a giant Rahi that Axonn had modified to serve as a transport vehicle. He then led the Matoran of Voya Nui down into the Nui Caves, and when, the Cord was severed, they were returned to the Southern Continent.

[carve] War Against the Brotherhood

Axonn later spotted Krakua and a member of Botar's species as they arrived via teleportation on Voya Nui, and raced off to take them out. He knocked over the Botar look-alike and threatened Krakua with his axe to the Toa's throat until he was told who they were. Upon learning that they were sent by the Order to retrieve him, Axonn pulled his axe away. He was then teleported to Daxia, where he was reunited with Brutaka, who informed him of the coming war.

He and Brutaka journeyed to Zakaz, hoping to form an alliance with the Skakdi. They were overwhelmed by the army the Skakdi had managed to muster, and Brutaka eventually dragged an exasperated Axonn out from his hiding place in mock surrender. When taken capture by the Skakdi, Axonn had them taken to see Nektann. There, he lied to the Skakdi about the other walords already agreeing to their alignment proposal, and exaggerated about the riches the would obtain from doing so. This prompted Nektann to agree as well, and the pair left his lair to convince the other Skakdi warlords.

After successfully organizing all of the Skakdi of Zakaz to attack an army of Rahkshi on a southern island, he and Brutaka headed to a hidden chamber in one of the island's canyons. Inside was a pool of liquid from which the Makuta species was created, and while discussing its destruction, the pool exploded and the two stumbled in. Before almost drowning, he was pulled out by Brutaka, who was affected by the substance, and acting strangely.

[carve] The Kingdom

Axonn was one of the survivors of Mata Nui's death in "The Kingdom" Pocket Dimension and migrated with the others to the island of Mata Nui. When Takanuva arrived in this dimension, he was taken to Axonn by Macku to see if he was lying about his identity. Axonn proved that, at the very least, Takanuva truly believed himself to be Takanuva, and then took his Staff of Light.

[carve] Abilities and Traits

Axonn's powers range far and wide and have yet to be fully revealed. His known abilities include:

• Tremendous brute strength, known to approach that of a Makuta.
• The power to heal.
• The power to shoot pure energy at targets. This power can be channeled through his hands or his axe.
• When he is enraged, he becomes virtually invincible.
• He can generate temporary stasis fields.
• He can create an electrical blast.

Like all other members of the Order of Mata Nui, his mind is shielded from any means of telepathy or mental attacks.

[carve] Mask and Tools

Axonn wears the Kanohi Rode, the Great Mask of Truth, which allows him to see through any tricks in appearance or speech. Axonn's Protosteel Giant Axe is known for three distinct capabilities: it can slice through solid rock, can channel his energy-based attacks, and will return to Axonn when thrown, much like a boomerang.

[carve] Set Information

Axonn was released as a large boxed set in August of 2006, containing 196 pieces. The 2006 Titans were also the first to revolutionize the new shin braces, utilizing a new ball-joint piece and a piston to better support the set's weight in various poses. Botar can be made by combining pieces from Axonn and Brutaka with instructions available on BIONICLE.com. The pieces from Axonn, Brutaka, and Vezon and Fenrakk could also be combined into the Kardas Dragon using instructions available on BIONICLE.com or in the special edition Kardas Dragon set, which contained the parts of all three titans and was only available at Target or LEGO stores.
