Vultraz is a Shadow Matoran and a former Ta-Matoran from the Tren Krom Peninsula who works for the Brotherhood of Makuta.
[carve] Biography
Whilst living on the Tren Krom Peninsula, Vultraz gained a reputation as a criminal. He killed Mazeka's mentor to steal his research, and later murdered an entire village to obtain a rare lava-gem. These actions led Mazeka to wish to bring him to justice, and the two clashed many times. In one such fight, Mazeka managed to kick Vultraz over a cliff, seemingly to his death. He survived the fall, thanks to some Rahi that Makuta Gorast had sent to the bottom of the cliff. Vultraz did not, however, escape without being incredibly damaged. When he finally awoke afterwards, he found himself bound to a stone slab and being tended to by Rahi. Gorast chose then to reveal herself to him, and also pointed out that she had rebuilt him so he would no longer be recognizable and better suit her needs. She then tasked him with hunting down the Matoran Krakua.
Vultraz tracked down Krakua's village, and used a device that amplified sound, knocking out several De-Matoran. He then fought Mazeka, who recognized him by his fighting style. Vultraz let Mazeka live, taunting him by stating that Mazeka will only ever live because he allowed it.
Sometime later, Vultraz acted as a spy for Gorast, and specialized in spying on Matoran who had the potential of rebelling against the Brotherhood of Makuta.
Vultraz was the second Matoran to be transformed into a Shadow Matoran by a Shadow Leech, courtesy of Makuta Icarax. Shortly afterwards, he discovered a side entrance to Karda Nui in its western wall, but did not tell the Brotherhood of his discovery. When Gorast learned of this, she punished him with a blow that sent him careening into Mutran's laboratory in Destral.
Vultraz has since been a faithful servant of Makuta Icarax, who prevented Gorast from killing the Shadow Matoran. When Icarax left for Karda Nui, Vultraz planned to pursue him there. He constructed a vehicle and had its Midak Skyblaster modified by a Nynrah Ghost on Stelt so it fired spheres of shadow instead of light. He then used the vehicle to attack a Matoran village, killing two and injuring twelve of the inhabitants, before departing for Karda Nui.
[carve] Abilities and Traits
Vultraz is selfish and uncaring of others, perfectly willing to kill as many as he needs to in order to get what he wants. If someone has something he wishes to have, then he will destroy their entire village to get hold of it. He shows no remorse for the death he causes, and seems to take pleasure in punishing those who oppose him. As a Shadow Matoran, Vultraz has the ability to fire Shadow bolts. Also, he has a habit of spinning his blade before he makes a kill.
[carve] Tools
Vultraz once wielded an acid blade, and later a razor-sharp sword. He once also used some sort of sonic device to incapacitate an entire village of De-Matoran.
Vultraz rides a Skyfighter that he designed himself. He armed the vehicle with a stolen Midak Skyblaster capable of firing Shadow blasts.

[carve] Quotes
- "How many times do we have to do this? When are you going to realize that you're not a Toa... just some crazy villager who thinks he has to risk his neck fighting the bad guys? Go home, Mazeka. Go back to your little life, before you force me to end it."
- — Vultraz, Brothers In Arms
- "I left the simple, innocent life of a Matoran behind me long ago. I buried it the same way I will bury you, Mazeka, if you don't get out of my way."
- — Vultraz, BIONICLE.com
- "No, I don't need to kill you now. I've beaten you. Every breath you take from now on is only because I allow it. No matter where you go, who you fight, how many battles you win-–you'll know you're only walking, talking, living because of me. I just saved your life, Mazeka...I think that rates a thank you, don't you? Of course, it's a shame that I lost the little De-Matoran, but no worries-–I'll catch up to him later, and give him what I didn't give you. As for you...live a long life, Mazeka. I want you around to remember this day."
