Hewkii (previously called Huki) was a Matoran who first resided in Metru Nui. He was a Disk maker whose disks were said to be the best of anyone in Po-Metru.

Hewkii is a Copper Mask winner, Kolhii champion, and great athlete. He is extremely good at Kolhii and has won several tournaments, representing his village with honor. He often played Kolhii with his Kolhii partner, Hafu. Hafu often attempted to outdo Hewkii, who tolerated his teammate's showmanship with good humor.

Hewkii was later transformed into a Toa Inika by the Red Star. He was transformed again into a Toa Mahri by the Kanohi Ignika. He is currently the deputy leader of the Toa Mahri.

[carve] Biography

[carve] Matoran

[carve] Metru Nui

On Metru Nui, Hewkii served as proprietor of the most famous disk store in Metru Nui. Its disks were of such fine Akilini quality that Turaga Dume had to ban other Metru players from using Po-Metru Disks. It is naturally presumed that he played Akilini. Just prior to the Great Cataclysm, he was placed into a Matoran Sphere, and was later rescued by the Toa Metru, and taken to Mata Nui.

In the 1,000 years before the coming of the Toa Mata, Hewkii aided the defense of Po-Koro and established his position as Kolhii champion. During this time, he learned much about stone, which later aided him as a Toa Inika. During his time on the island, he stood as Onewa's right hand Matoran. At that time he was the greatest goal-scorer of all time at Kolhii and one of the few Po-Matoran able to crush boulders with both his feet and his head. It is said that he learned this skill after Macku soaked his mask during a practical joke.

During the Great War Hewkii was one of the first to fall victim to the infection spread by the Comet balls, which were being sold by Ahkmou. This caused him to fall very ill, and if Pohatu had not saved him by removing the infected Comet balls, he would have either died or become a servant of Teridax. Hewkii recovered in time to organize the defense of Po-Koro from the Tahnok swarm. While under Toa Pohatu's control, he kicked a Kolhii ball down, which struck a makeshift lever, catapulting Pohatu and Hafu into the air and over the walls. Despite this victory, he fled with the other Po-Matoran to Ga-Koro on a fleet of hidden boats. They didn't have much time to rest after arrival, because the Pahrak swarm attacked. Hewkii saved Macku by catching a piece of debris headed towards her in a fishing staff. This catch inspired a new form of Kolhii, in which staffs would be used instead of kicking the ball.

After the Bohrok-Kal attacks, Hewkii was chosen by Onewa, along with Hafu, to participate in Kolhii Tournament. The Po-Koro team got all the way to the Ta-Koro Kolhii Championship, in which they won second place to the Ga-Koro team. He was evacuated along with the other Matoran when the Rahkshi attacked the village.

He helped in the construction of boats to Metru Nui.

[carve] Toa Inika

When Jaller recruited five Matoran from all over Metru Nui, one of his choices was Hewkii. Together, accompanied by Takanuva, they headed to Voya Nui. After a short journey through the tunnels, they reached Karzahni. Here, that place's ruler forcibly replaced Hewkii's Kakama with another mask (unbeknownst to Hewkii, it was a Matoran level Sanok). The six Matoran escaped and found six Toa canisters, which they used to transport them out of Karzahni and to Voya Nui. There, six lightning bolts from the Red Star transformed the Matoran into the Toa Inika. When the team encountered Piraka Vezok, Hewkii used his Mask of Accuracy to hurl a boulder at him, but Vezok was able to escape him.

After encountering the Voya Nui Resistance Team, Hewkii and Matoro teamed up with Kazi and Balta to free the infected Matoran. However, Kazi and Balta took them to a remote region of the island instead. Hewkii thought they were being lead into a trap, but it turned out that they had found a badly wounded titan instead. Matoro and Hewkii then hurried to their teammates' aid in the Piraka Stronghold. Hewkii used his elemental power to encase Brutaka in a block of stone and continued fighting until Hakann and Thok stole Brutaka's power and stunned the rest of the combatants. Awakening, Hewkii joined with the other Toa and Piraka, and after obtaining a Zamor sphere designed to return the stolen powers to Brutaka, headed to track down the two rogue Piraka. In a fierce battle, Hewkii triggered the Zamor, which knocked out Hakann and Thok only moments after they triggered a devastating strike, knocking out the six Toa Inika.

Awakening, Hewkii and the others headed down to the Chamber of Life. On the way, Hewkii faced an illusionary Bohrok, which transformed into an illusion of a Toa Nuva, in the Chamber of Fear. Once they arrived at the Chamber of Life, Jaller named Hewkii as his replacement as team leader in the case of Jaller's death. Hewkii fought alongside the rest of the team against Vezon and Fenrakk in a furious battle, when at last the Inika obtained the Mask of Life from Vezon. But not for long, as the Piraka arrived and attempted to steal it. The Mask floated up the 777 steps and out into the water, where Hahli failed to retrieve it. Hewkii and the others headed into The Cord, which Axonn had opened for them. Hewkii and the others fought their way through Zyglak, and was the first to notice that the Teridax had possessed Matoro's body. Hewkii was apprehensive of retreating into the water outside The Cord, since he didn't know how to swim well, but agreed and swam out into the dark waters around Mahri Nui.

Upon reaching the bottom of the Cord, Hewkii and his companions were changed into Toa Mahri by an explosion of light energy from the Ignika. This had the added affect of knocking the six Toa unconscious for a time. After quickly recovering, they engaged the 300 foot-long Venom Eel which had been squeezing the Cord. During the battle, Hewkii used his new Garai to increase the eel's gravity, sending it slamming into the seafloor.

The Toa then began exploring, when they encountered the city of Mahri Nui. At first, Defilak ordered them attacked, but the Toa negotiated, leaving Matoro behind while the rest would free the fields of Airweed from the Barraki's armies. After a showdown between the five Toa and six Barraki, the Mahri were taken captive and imprisoned in caves. Hewkii used his Garai once again to dispose of his Takea shark guard, and watched as Hahli and Nuparu also made their escape.

Nuparu, Hewkii, and Hahli began exploring the sea caves in search of the Mask of Life. Nuparu discovered a weapons cache used by the Barraki. Inside were several Cordak Blasters that the Toa took for themselves, after Nuparu nearly shot Hewkii with one by mistake.

Later, the two Toa were investigating a large group of Venom Eels when they were attacked by Gadunka. The pair was forced into a trench filled with holes in which a breed of eyeless eel lived. Escaping the trench, the two reunited with the other Toa, and Hewkii was tasked with defeating Gadunka, and he chose to attempt to beat him without the help of any of his powers. He was nearly defeated, but was saved by Hahli. The Toa were then told by Matoro that they had to destroy the Cord.

Before the Toa Mahri could destroy the Cord, Gadunka, the 300 foot mutant Venom Eel, and the Ancient Sea Behemoth attacked them. Hewkii again defeated the Venom Eel using his Garai. Then, the Toa Mahri destroyed the Cord, destroying Mahri Nui and causing Voya Nui to plunge into the water.

When Mata Nui died, Hewkii assisted his fellow Toa Mahri in fending off the Barraki and their armies while buying Matoro time to bring the Great Spirit back to life. It was he who stopped a school of Takea from following Matoro by increasing their weight several hundred times. When Jaller started to go Nova, Hewkii protested, but only for a moment, sensing that it was the only option. He was fighting fiercely alongside Hahli when Matoro teleported him and the other Toa Mahri back to Metru Nui. He was the first to notice that they were all breathing air once more.

He and the remaining Toa Mahri now reside in Metru Nui as its protectors. Since returning to Metru Nui, they defeated and captured the Kardas Dragon after it came through the tunnels from Mata Nui. He later ventured out in search of Takanuva with three of the other Toa, with Jaller staying behind. When Hewkii and the others returned to Metru Nui, the Toa Hagah were teleported right before them. After meeting resistance from the Toa Mahri, Norik informed the Toa that they were there to destroy the Coliseum. The Toa Mahri then fought the Toa Hagah, believing them to be impostors. Hewkii was fighting Toa Iruini, but was beaten when he swung his chains at the Toa and Iruini grabbed it and smashed Hewkii into a rock wall. Later, when Kualus used his mask to summon a giant three-headed Rahi to defeat Nuparu and lost control of it and the beast flung Nuparu into the air, Hewkii used his mask to change the gravity around the Toa of Earth in a way he had never done before, which saved Nuparu. The giant Rahi was later defeated by the combined efforts of the two Toa teams.

When Toa Norik revealed to the Mahri that the answers to the many mysteries and secrets of the universe were located underneath the Coliseum and that Makuta Teridax was already down there, the five Toa Mahri helped the Hagah create a tunnel leading under the Coliseum. Hewkii helped Bomonga and Kualus hold up the structure by using his Garai, but when the six Toa went down the tunnel, Hewkii was left to hold up the Coliseum by himself. As soon as he set the building down, he later passed out from the extreme effort it cost him.

After regaining consciousness, Hewkii remarked upon what the Hagah would find under the Coliseum before a strange being gave the Toa Mahri a mission: to take the Heart of the Visorak to Artidax. She then dissipated into millions of crystal fragments. The Mahri split into two groups, with Kongu and Hewkii staying behind to protect Metru Nui while the others went to Artidax. However, both were attacked by the same female being was before as soon as the other three Toa left and were knocked out.

[carve] The Kingdom

In "The Kingdom" Pocket Dimension, Hewkii was among the survivors of Mata Nui's death. He was killed by Rahkshi when he and Pohatu attempted to seal off the tunnels to the Matoran Universe.

[carve] Abilities and Traits

Hewkii is known for his athletic ability on Metru Nui and won many Copper Masks as a Matoran.

Like all other Toa Inika; Toa Inika Hewkii had Lightning powers with his Stone powers, though the two powers couldn't be separated. (i.e. He couldn't create a rock to throw without it being coated with lightning).

As a Toa Mahri, he lost the lightning powers and could only breathe water. When Matoro teleported his team back to Metru Nui, he gave them the ability to breathe air again.

[carve] Mask and Tools

Hewkii wore a mask shaped like a Great Kakama as a Matoran, he also wore Great Kanohi Suletu as a Matoran for a brief period of time in Karzahni. His mask as a Toa Inika was the Kanohi Sanok, the Mask of Accuracy, before transforming into a Toa Mahri. It allowed him to turn virtually any object into a missile weapon and hit any target he aimed for. His Toa Tools were the Laser Axe and Climbing Chain.

As a Toa Mahri, Hewkii's mask is the Kanohi Garai, the Mask of Gravity. It allows him to manipulate and control gravity around a target. His Toa Tools are an Aqua Warblade and two Electrified Chains.

The first Hewkii set was released in 2001 as one of six McDonald's promotional "Tohunga" toys, comprising eight pieces. He could fling an included Bamboo Disk (which featured an image of Pohatu's Kanohi Kakama) by holding it in his right hand while one pulled back and released his right arm.

Hewkii was released again in 2003 as one of six 25-piece Matoran sets, this time after being "rebuilt". The set featured a gear on the back which one could spin to swing his torso. This feature also let him swing an included Kolhii stick to hit a pucklike piece representing an airstone, or Kolhii ball.

In summer 2006, a new 62-part Hewkii set was released, portraying his Toa Inika form. The set featured a Zamor Sphere Launcher and a light-up Laser Axe as well as four Energized Protodermis Zamor Spheres which varied in color from red to yellow, despite being silver in the story on account of their contents. Hewkii could also be combined with Hahli and Nuparu in order to create Toa Jovan.

Toa Mahri Hewkii was released as a canister set in summer 2007. A Cordak Blaster holding six mini-rockets was attached to his right wrist, while four other mini-rockets were stored on shoulders. A string of chains hung from each of his upper arms.

Toa Inika Hewkii was released as a minifigure in the Lava Chamber Gate, Piraka Stronghold, and Race for the Mask of Life playsets of 2006, the last of which was non-canon. Two different forms of Toa Mahri Hewkii were released a year later. One, appearing in the Toa Terrain Crawler and Barraki Deepsea Patrol playsets, featured his proper Kanohi Garai, while the other, appearing in the Toa Undersea Attack playset, wore a recolored Kanohi Volitak to provide distinction from the same set's Toa Jaller minifigure which wore a recolored Kanohi Garai piece.
