History

Almost 100,000 years ago, the Hand of Artakha disbanded itself, due to the lack of discipline among its ranks. The members were scattered, and the Toa took the mantle as public defenders. One of the Hand's members, Toa Helryx, felt the need for a secretive organization dedicated to Mata Nui's will, and founded the Order of Mata Nui. She recruited many of the Hand's former members, and created the rule that no other Toa were to be allowed in the Order.

The Order continued to maintain the balance of the universe in secret, keeping their existance from the rest of the universe. Among other things, they experimented on Ehlek's species, and had Botar send many 'unredeemable' villains to the Pit. They also never openly intervened in any wars, preferring to come in during the aftermath. Due to their secrecy, they have no need to consider the morals of other beings in their quest to carry out the will of the Great Spirit, and as such can act without impunity. The nature of their organization has only been disclosed to few beings.

Recently, the Order prepared to come out of hiding and wage war against the Brotherhood of Makuta. Members have been recalled to Daxia and a message was sent to their spy in the Dark Hunters telling him to confront the Shadowed One. The original leader of the Brotherhood was recovered by Brutaka and his team. Later, Axonn and Brutaka were sent to Zakaz to make a pact with the Skakdi. Helryx herself revealed the Order to the Toa Hagah and sent them in search of Teridax.

Spoiler Warning: Plot or ending details follow. (Please highlight the white space below if applicable)

After Makuta Teridax took over the body of Mata Nui, he destroyed the Order's base, Daxia using his powers over the universe. Many members of the Order were also killed, although some, such as Trinuma, have managed to survive.

The Kingdom

In "The Kingdom" Pocket Dimension, the Order of Mata Nui revealed their existence after Mata Nui died. They then assisted in evacuating many of the Matoran Universe's beings to the island of Mata Nui. They also helped Toa Takanuva force the Makuta back underground when they attempted to make their way to the surface world. Soon after, the Order's leader, Helryx, became a member of Turaga Takanuva's ruling council.

Members

Order members are usually solo and are scattered throughout the Matoran Universe. They do not usually include Matoran, Toa, or Turaga, as they have their own destinies to fulfill. Below is a list of those members who are known:

  • Helryx - Leader
  • Axonn - A member in charge of guarding the Kanohi Ignika
  • Brutaka - Former guardian of the Ignika. Once a probationary member but redeemed himself on a mission.
  • Jerbraz - An invisible member who provided information for the Atlas
  • Johmak - A member who provided information for the Atlas
  • Mazeka - A Ko-Matoran who acts a spy
  • Tobduk - A ten-foot tall member who normally performs the more horrid assignments.
  • Trinuma - A nine-foot tall warrior
  • A member who met a dying Tahtorak who revealed that the Tahtorak on Zakaz plan to wipe out the Skakdi
  • An unnamed member of Botar's species that has replaced him. Like his predecessor, he is responsible for taking beings to The Pit, delivering Roodaka and Karzahni so far. He has also been tasked with taking Krakua to Voya Nui to gather Axonn and return him to Daxia. Helryx then utilized him to teleport to the Dark Hunter flagship before The Shadowed One had Xia destroyed, and then had the Toa Hagah teleported there to give them a mission and Zaktan.
  • An unnamed giant member with four arms and horns; he carries a multi-bladed axe.
  • An ebon-armored female who delivered the Heart of the Visorak to the Toa Mahri. She wields a shield and can shatter into crystalline fragments and reform to her humanoid figure.
  • Two unnamed members who planted an explosive device on Artidax.

Former Members

  • The original Hydraxon - The Pit jailer, injured by an earthquake caused by the Great Cataclysm and killed by Takadox.
  • Botar - A member who took defeated criminals to the Pit; crushed by Icarax.
  • Ancient - A spy in the Dark Hunters native to the Shadowed One's island. Killed by the Shadowed One.
  • A member that was tortured into revealing the Order's existence and the Toa Metru's true collective destiny to the Karzahni, and later killed.
  • A member that was sent to Mata Nui in a Toa Canister, but was killed by Teridax.
  • An operative at Mahri Nui whom the Order lost contact with, now deceased.
  • An unspecified number of members who were killed for knowing the location of Artakha.

Servants

These beings are not actual Order of Mata Nui members, but serve and work with them.

  • Krakua - A novice Toa of Sonics. Acts as liaison between Toa and the Order.
  • Umbra - A being created by the Great Beings to guard the Kanohi Ignika.
  • Maxilos - A model of guardian robots stationed in The Pit.
  • Energy Hound - A species of canine Rahi that could track down any being by sensing its energy.
    • Spinax - A mutated Energy Hound that used to belong to Hydraxon and later helped a Maxilos guard The Pit.
  • Mana Ko - Large crab-like Rahi that guard important Brotherhood of Makuta locations.
  • "Kratana" - A breed of creatures that can cause their wearers to see visions of the past and future.

Former Servants

  • One Maxilos - Formerly possessed by Teridax, now destroyed.

Powers and Tools

Members of the Order of Mata Nui have no uniform powers (e.g. Kraata, Rahkshi, etc.), but due to the sensitive information they carry, all members are trained to have their minds shielded against telepathy and mental attack. Interestingly, the false Hydraxon (see above) also has his mind shielded. Most members carry weapons made from Protosteel. Some of their equipment is provided by Artakha.

Depending on the role a member will have, he or she can receive a power upgrade when he enters the Order. This is achieved through experimentation. Axonn and Brutaka chose to get additional powers, while Hydraxon and Botar did not. The experiments have been known to go wrong, however, such as when the experiment Jerbraz took part in rendered him permanently invisible.

Quotes

"I have uprooted mountains, Toa. I have ridden the tornado and filled the earthquake with fear. When you were still toiling at your mundane Matoran chores, I and others like me were holding your universe together. Do you really believe your puny powers can threaten a member of the Order of Mata Nui?"
— Brutaka, Power Play
"Try to run, at any time, and friends of mine will hunt you down – friends who make me look like a big, cuddly Ussal crab."
— Brutaka to his teammates, Federation of Fear
