[carve] Biography
Solek is an expert on the ancient legends of the Toa Mata (thanks to the former Av-Matoran leader Kirop) and was long ago the best friend of Takua. Kopaka in particular is his hero and he desires to be more like him. He even changed his armor color to white to reflect his idolization of Kopaka.
Solek was hiding with the remaining Av-Matoran population during the Brotherhood of Makuta's attack on Karda Nui. After the Makuta Antroz, Vamprah, and Chirox were blinded by Toa Matoro's use of the Kanohi Ignika, Solek and the other Av-Matoran launched small assault missions against them. However, the Makuta started using some of the Shadow Matoran as guides during the fight to compensate for their loss. During this battle, the Toa Nuva appeared, teleported there by Artakha to awaken Mata Nui. The Toa Nuva helped the Matoran drive away the Makuta, and realized that if a Matoran is riding them, they can share each other's memories. After discovering that the Ignika fell into the swamp below after Matoro used it, the Toa split into two teams. Lewa, Kopaka, and Pohatu stayed with the Matoran to fight the Makuta, while Tahu, Gali, and Onua flew down to the swamp to retrieve the Mask of Life.
Solek possessed one of the six Keystones which have the instructions on how to awaken Mata Nui inscribed on them, which presented it to Kopaka after the Toa appeared in Karda Nui. Solek, along with Tanma and Photok, accompanied the Toa on their raid of the Shadow Leech Hive to destroy the Shadow Leeches. While there, he helped Kopaka fight and defeat Mutran as a distraction while the rest of the Matoran and Toa tried to find the Shadow Leech vats. During this battle, Solek discovered that he could create objects made of solid Light while in contact with Kopaka. The pair managed to freeze Mutran solid, but they were suddenly attacked and imprisoned by Antroz, Chirox, and Vamprah, and he, Tanma, and Photok were held captive by Chirox and Vamprah.
The three Matoran and Toa Nuva were able to escape and Toa Ignika brought down the hive using its abilty to weaken the living rock that held the hive together. Solek later participated in the furious battle against the Makuta. In the heat of this battle, Solek created a scoop of light to save a few falling Matoran friends. He, the Toa Nuva, Tanma, and Photok defeated and followed the retreating Makuta down into the Swamp of Secrets to help the other three Toa Nuva Mistika. Later, he went with Takanuva to round up all the Shadow Matoran, including a struggling Radiak. Vican, who had turned back into a Le-Matoran, approached them, claiming to have found a Rahi that could cure the Shadow Matoran. Solek later witnessed Radiak attacking the same Rahi, a Klakk, who turned Radiak back into an Av-Matoran.
