| Purpose | To record important events |
The Chronicler is an individual who travels across their land and records important events. Known Chroniclers have only been Matoran, and it is assumed that only Matoran are appointed to this position, as Turaga and Toa do not have time to perform such duties.
[carve] Job
The exact details of the Chronicler's job are vague; apart from recording events, they apparently bring news from village to village (or district to district, if needed). Specifics are unknown other than that; it is also unknown if they can be relieved of their position due to poor performance or other circumstances.
After the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal, a new duty was added to the Chronicler's duties: to update the Wall of History. The Wall, located in Ta-Koro, detailed all the prominent events in the history of the island of Mata Nui.
[carve] History
The office of Chronicler existed on Metru Nui, though whether that was its point of origin is unknown. The only known Chronicler of Metru Nui before the Great Cataclysm is Kodan, who held the post at the time of Lhikan's team. After he vanished, no one was appointed to replace him.
The office of Chronicler was initially abandoned after the exodus to Mata Nui. The first known Chronicler on Mata Nui, Takua, was appointed shortly before the Toa defeated Teridax. After many events, Takua was transformed into a Toa, thus a new Chronicler was appointed: Hahli. She chronicled the many events of the past and the rebuilding of Metru Nui, but, eventually, she also became a Toa. Kopeke was then chosen to become the newest Chronicler.
[carve] Tools
Chroniclers carry a distinct staff with them; they can use it to carve on the Wall of History. Takua also used a small notepad-like apparatus called the Book of Chronicles for recording his entries in addition to carving them onto stone.
[carve] Known Chroniclers
- Kodan is the only known Chronicler of Metru Nui. His first record was carving down the event of the Kanohi Dragon incident. He was sent with one of the Toa Mangai appointed to close the passages to Metru Nui, but never came back.
- Takua was the first known Chronicler of Mata Nui. He abandoned the post when he became Toa Takanuva.
- Hahli became Chronicler after Takua became a Toa. She held the job until she herself became a Toa.
- Kopeke became the next Chronicler after Hahli became a Toa.
