[carve] Biography

Vican originally lived on an island situated in a lake in the center of the Southern Continent.

Vican willingly became the first Shadow Matoran because he dreamed of having more in life, and did not care about the means by which that happened. He acted as a lab assistant to Mutran, who also mutated him into his current form. Vican remained loyal to Mutran in the hope that he would be returned to his former form for serving well. He assisted Mutran in guarding the Hive where the Shadow Leeches formerly were kept.

Vican was working on kicking a failed Rahi experiment out of a window by order when Vamprah entered the hive after the Makuta's first defeat by the Phantoka Toa Nuva. After a negotiation between the four Makuta, Antroz, Chirox, Vamprah, and Mutran was held, Vican was chosen to be the one to fly to Destral and summon Makuta Icarax.

Vican later rode on a half-Matoran and half-Rahi creature and flew to Destral, where he encountered Rahkshi and Visorak. Upon showing the creatures a Tablet of Transit, Vican was welcomed into the fortress, where he learned that Icarax had taken over the throne of Makuta Teridax. After a moment of interrogation by the Makuta, Vican stated Antroz's summon. He then returned to Karda Nui.

Later, in a battle between the Phantoka Toa Nuva and Makuta, Vican saved Mutran from falling after the Makuta unleashed a powerful blast of Shadow by catching him whilst on the mutated flying Rahi. He then carried out Mutran's orders to retreat to the Swamp of Secrets.

Eventually, Vican encountered a Klakk that Mutran had created in Karda Nui, and the Rahi's sonic scream broke the mental barrier preventing his Light from regenerating. A Le-Matoran again, Vican encountered Takanuva and attempted to convince him he had found a cure for the Shadow Matoran.

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

Vican joined the Av-Matoran in fleeing from the Energy Storms, ultimately making it to Metru Nui.

[carve] Abilities and Traits

While a Shadow Matoran, Vican could fire bolts of Shadow energy, an ability that was lost when he was transformed back into a Le-Matoran. However, because Vican was not an Av-Matoran, he did not gain any other powers when physically connected to a Makuta. He is larger than a normal Matoran and has the ability to fly due to alterations made by Mutran.

Despite being blindly loyal to his master, Vican was also quite wary of Mutran's insanity, knowing that he could have thrown Vican into a mutating vat as a joke. Vican also regrets how he looks and had hoped that Mutran would one day cure him.
