"Gladiator" is a large, hulking Dark Hunter and former slave of Stelt.

Biography

Gladiator was an entertainment fighter living on the island of Stelt. However, during a fierce battle he lost control and went on a rampage. Around six members of Krekka's species were sent to bring him down, but he demolished them all. It took half of the guards to finally incapacitate him, and he was recruited to be a Dark Hunter for his power and brutality.

When Sidorak tried to join the Dark Hunters, he had to fight Gladiator as a test. Gladiator revealed that despite his great size, he also possessed incredible speed and agility. He easily dispatched Sidorak in a training match, disqualifying him from being allowed to join the Dark Hunters.

Gladiator later joined forces with fellow Dark Hunters Triglax and Devastator to steal the Nui Stone from Toa Mangai Tuyet, only to be framed for the murder of several Matoran. He eventually ended up being defeated by Toa Lhikan.

Gladiator at one point returned to his home island of Stelt serving as a spy to investigate rumors that said Sidorak's species was trying to recruit an army of Visorak.

Gladiator, along with the surviving residents of the Matoran Universe, evacuated the Great Spirit Robot subsequent to it being rendered uninhabitable as a result of a battle.

Abilities and Traits

Gladiator is brutally strong and has a passion for war. Though his primary weapon is his strength, he also possesses incredible speed and maneuverability.
