[carve] Biography
[carve] Early Life
Helryx was created by the Great Beings in Artakha as a Toa, and thus was never a Matoran. After her creation, she participated in the construction of Metru Nui, and watched the Toa Mata being created. She was also a member of the Hand of Artakha, and later founded the Order of Mata Nui when the former was disbanded.
[carve] Order of Mata Nui
During the founding of the Order of Mata Nui, Helryx established the rule that Toa were not to join the organization, for they had their own destinies.
When the Toa Mata were transported to Daxia and awoke there for the first time, it was Helryx who introduced them to themselves and taught them about the duties and purposes of Toa. After assigning Hydraxon to train them, she had no further interaction with them until confronted by Tahu and Kopaka. She was tinkering with a vehicle she dubbed the Swamp Strider when they entered her chambers, demanding information. She revealed to them the purpose of the Codrex and what dangers they would face in Karda Nui.
After a long stretch of time, Helryx spoke to the Toa in secret again, as Toa Nuva, after their list of tasks had been completed and they were taken to Daxia by Botar. As Trinuma used the Staff of Artakha, she explained to the Toa that it would undo the effects of the Great Cataclysm.
[carve] Metru Nui
Shortly afterwards, Helryx met with Takanuva and showed him the history of the Toa Mata using her "pet" Kratana. She then sent Takanuva to Karda Nui in order to inform the Toa Nuva that, if they succeed in awaking Mata Nui, the energy storms which forced them to hide in the Codrex the first time will be unleashed again, and the only way to escape the storms is to take refuge in the Codrex. She also introduced him to Toa Krakua, a Toa of Sonics who gave Takanuva a sundial he would need.
[carve] War with the Brotherhood
Helryx soon after began preparing to go to war against the Brotherhood of Makuta, a conflict she referred to as the "Destiny War." In preparation for this, she dispatched probationary member Brutaka, who accompanied her to Metru Nui to capture the Dark Hunter Dweller, on a mission to rescue Makuta Miserix. As the original leader of the organization deposed by Teridax, Miserix was an ideal weapon to use against the Brotherhood. Though she had told Takanuva that Brutaka would remain in Metru Nui to aid the Toa Mahri, Helryx instead sent the warrior off with a team of criminals: Roodaka, Vezon, Carapar, Takadox, Makuta Spiriah, and eventually the Dark Hunter Lariska.
Following their return with Miserix, Helryx sent Krakua to bring Axonn from Voya Nui to Daxia in preparation for the final conflict. She also sent a message to the Order of Mata Nui agent among the Dark Hunters, Ancient, alerting him that the time had come to convince The Shadowed One of a new purpose for their group, or kill him if that failed. Her plans also led to Axonn and Brutaka being sent to Zakaz to convince warlord Nektann and the Skakdi to ally with the Order against the Brotherhood, and having Trinuma take Vezon to Destral.
Sometime later, she went to Xia and stopped The Shadowed One from destroying the island by creating a tidal wave to stop the Dark Hunter armada. She then confronted The Shadowed One and discussed matters, which ended when Helryx blasted three Dark Hunters into the sea. She then told the Toa Hagah of their mission to find Teridax, and gave them Zaktan as a guide.
[carve] The Kingdom
In an alternate universe, Helryx is part of the ruling council of the Kingdom of the Great Spirit. In this universe, Matoro failed to save Mata Nui and all of the survivors are now living on the island of Mata Nui.
[carve] Abilities and Traits
Despite being a Toa of Water, Helryx is extremely fierce, somewhat impatient, and quick to anger. Takanuva finds her frailty unsettling.
As a Toa of Water, Helryx can control, create, or absorb water. She is extremely powerful and adept at using her abilities, as demonstrated when she summoned a large tidal wave and kept it suspended directly in front of a fleet of Dark Hunter ships. Her mind is also shielded from outside mental presences, as is mandatory with Order training.
[carve] Mask and Tools
Helryx carries a spiked mace and a shield, with which to focus her elemental abilities. Helryx's mask and armor are pitted and scarred from many battles, although what Kanohi she actually wears has not been revealed.
