Builder of the Toa Canisters
From BIONICLEsector01
"A lone Matoran staggered from a darkened alcove. First glance revealed that one of his legs was badly twisted, making it impossible for him to move quickly. His mask was badly dented and covered with rust and soot."

The Builder of the Toa Canisters is an unnamed Av-Matoran.
Biography
The Builder was created by the Great Beings to assist in the construction of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. Before the awakening of Mata Nui, he and the other Av-Matoran left their homeland under the Southern Continent to colonize Karda Nui. During the colonization, the Avohkah menaced the Matoran but the Toa Mata were soon called to deal with the threat. Before the Energy Storms began, the Builder was sent to inform Tren Krom that Mata Nui was ready to assume his destined role as protector and caretaker of the Matoran Universe. As a result of the encounter with Tren Krom, the Matoran was driven insane.
Prior to the construction of the barrier preventing beings with the Elemental Power of Light to pass through, the Builder was sent to Karzahni to be repaired. After his mask was taken by the tyrant Karzahni, his existence and name were eventually forgotten by all, including himself. Karzahni did not even remember him or where he came from, but chose to permit him to stay so long as he stayed out of the ruler's sight. In Karzahni, the Builder built Toa Canisters, earning his namesake.
When Jaller, Hahli, Hewkii, Nuparu, Matoro, and Kongu ventured to Karzahni, they encountered the Builder, by which point he had become as all Karzahni Matoran eventually were: a beaten, filthy, battered husk. Upon their meeting, he informed the Matoran about the Toa Canisters that were stored in Karzahni, but inadvertently also made Karzahni aware of them. He was with the other Matoran when Karzahni cast a vision of the death of Mata Nui. As the others were escaping, he refused to go with them. Karzahni was furious at him, but eventually forgot about him, allowing the Matoran to live in relative peace.
Before Gali Nuva destroyed Karzahni, this Matoran was sent to Metru Nui along with the rest of the former slaves.
When Makuta Teridax was killed after taking over the Matoran Universe, the Matoran evacuated the robot to live on the reformed Spherus Magna.
Abilities and Traits
As an Av-Matoran, the builder of the Toa Canisters has the natural reflex ability to change the perceived color of his armor, as well as the power to channel bolts of Light through his hands or tools.
He has also been rebuilt by Karzahni into a significantly weaker form and retains various injuries including a badly twisted leg.
He was driven insane by the appearance of Tren Krom, and remains so.
