[carve] Biography

[carve] Toa

Dume was a Toa for thousands of years, during which he primarily fought against Rahi and the Dark Hunters. 17,000 years before the Toa Inika reached Voya Nui, he saved the life of a Ta-Matoran Crafter named Lhikan, and later had a hand in his transformation into a Toa. Some time within the next 2,000 years, Dume became a Turaga and was then appointed as the Turaga of Metru Nui.

[carve] Kanohi Dragon Incident

4,000 years prior to the Toa Inika, Dume's rule was threatened by Dark Hunters. Three of their number, Avak, Reidak, and Vezok released the Kanohi Dragon from its icy prison underneath Metru Nui. The beast wreaked havoc on the city for several hours, causing massive damage to the city, as well as incapacitating hundreds of Vahki units. After several hours of the rampage, Dume grew desperate, and sent a dozen Vahki to request assistance. The Turaga was soon in his chambers by the three Hunters that released the Dragon, offering their "protection." Dume refused them immediately, demanding that they exit his chambers. The Hunters threatened him, but stopped short of carrying out any such method of punishment by the arrival of a group of eleven Toa. The Toa convinced the Hunters to leave, and then defeated the dragon over the course of the next month. After a long debate, the Toa eventually transported the Kanohi Dragon to Xia, promising Dume that they would return.

[carve] Tuyet's Betrayal

When a deceased Ta-Matoran was found in Metru Nui, Dume instructed Jaller to investigate it. It was later discovered that a Toa of Water, Tuyet, was responsible for several murders of Matoran. After being defeated by Lhikan and and Nidhiki, she was locked in the Coliseum as Lhikan and Dume decided upon a means of punishment, but mysteriously disappeared overnight, teleported by Botar to The Pit.

[carve] Toa/Dark Hunter War

Over the course of the next thousand years, Dume dutifully defended his city against the invading forces of Dark Hunters. At some point, Thok tried to kidnap him, but the attempt failed, and an enraged Shadowed One declared war. As the fighting broke out, Dume was forced to hole up in the Coliseum, for fear of his life. It had seemed like a lost cause until a Toa of Water managed to slip through the Dark Hunter ranks and retrieve help. Reinforcements of nearly a hundred arrived, and the war escalated. Dume was still forced to remain in the Coliseum, surrounded by a guard team at all times.

At some point, more reinforcements were requested, to be delivered discreetly on what were supposed to be supply boats. Lhikan sent one of the guard team, Nidhiki, to fetch them, without telling him what they actually were. Lhikan himself slipped out, and traced Nidhiki to his meeting with the Hunters. The next day, Lhikan's forces ambushed the Dark Hunters, revealed Nidhiki's betrayal, and banished him from the island along with the Hunters, effectively ending the war.

[carve] Great Cataclysm

1,001 years before the Toa Inika reached Voya Nui; Dume was taken prisoner by Teridax, and placed into a Matoran Sphere to stop him from interfering. Teridax masqueraded as Dume for the next eighteen months, hiring three Dark Hunters to eliminate what was left of the Toa Mangai, as well as furthering his plan to put the Great Spirit Mata Nui to sleep. The Toa Metru discovered him, sleeping in his pod, after reuniting below Po-Metru. However, the Toa Metru were ambushed by Lohrak, and were forced to abandon Dume in his pod.

Due to a malfunction of his Matoran Sphere, Dume awoke of his own accord sometime during the events of the Great Rescue, without suffering from any side effects from the pod.

After the defeat of Sidorak and the Visorak hordes, he chose to stay on Metru Nui rather than join the Matoran on Mata Nui, and begin rebuilding the city, using his Kanohi Kiril. Approximately 500 years after the Matoran had left, he helped the Rahaga and Keetongu fend off a rogue Visorak troupe from Metru Nui.

[carve] Metru Nui's Repopulation

When the Matoran returned to Metru Nui, Dume and Nuju began paying close attention to the stars, eventually coming to the horrifying conclusing that Mata Nui was slowly perishing. While the Matoran were rebuilding the city, Dume called a conference of the Toa Nuva and Turaga, revealing his discovery. He spoke of the legendary Mask of Life, a powerful artifact that could save the Great Spirit's life.

Shortly after revealing this shocking news, Dume led the Turaga and the Toa Nuva to a spherical room underneath Onu-Metru where six Toa Canisters were floating. He then witnessed the departure of the Toa Nuva to the island of Voya Nui.

After Jaller became angry with the Turaga due to their refusal to tell the Matoran where the Toa Nuva had gone, Dume grew furious, going so far as to say Nokama betrayed them by revealing to Jaller what the Turaga had learned. He also refused to send Takanuva after the Toa Nuva, claiming that it was his destiny to defend the city. Takanuva directly disobeyed his orders, and journeyed with with Jaller and his crew of Matoran, though he later returned. Dume promised Takanuva to consider sending him after the Toa Nuva and Jaller and his team, the latter having already returned to defend the city.

Back in Metru Nui, Dume, along with the other Turaga, awaited the return of the Toa Nuva, and continued the reconstruction of Metru Nui until the usage of the Staff of Artakha.

When the Toa Nuva finally returned from Karda Nui, Dume gave a victory speech to the Matoran. However, half way through the speech, he was cut off by Makuta Teridax, who informed the gathering that he had taken over Mata Nui's body and thus claim dominance over the entire Matoran Universe.

[carve] The Kingdom

In an alternate universe, Turaga Dume and the other Turaga of Metru Nui organized a mass migration to the island of Mata Nui following the Great Spirit's death. Once a stable society was formed, Dume became a member of the ruling council of the Kingdom of the Great Spirit, with its leader being Turaga Takanuva.

[carve] Dark Mirror

In an alternate universe, Dume attempted to stand up to Tuyet, and as a result he was placed in stasis inside the Archives. He was eventually freed by Takanuva, but he, the Toa and Takua were captured by the Makuta living in the Archives.

He was in the custody of the Makuta, but joined them in the battle against the Toa Empire and rallied Lesovikk's unit.

As a Toa of Fire Dume could create, control, and absorb fire. When he became a Turaga, his control over fire was greatly weakened. Dume is somewhat stubborn and does not interact with the Matoran of Metru Nui much, unlike the six Turaga of Mata Nui who share a bond with them.

[carve] Mask and Tools

Dume wears the Kanohi Kiril, the Noble Mask of Regeneration, which allows him to repair damage done to land. He carries a staff as his Badge of Office and has also been known to use a Disk Launcher at times.
