Shadow Stealer

"Eventually, his time passed, and Toa became the chosen warriors of Mata Nui. Perhaps he resented that, perhaps he simply could find no place in this new world... but he turned to the Dark Hunters."

"Shadow Stealer" is a Dark Hunter with an illustrious past.

Biography

Shadow Stealer is an extremely old being, and was a hero before the first Toa were created. He was a member of the Hand of Artakha, the predecessor of the Order of Mata Nui.

After the Hand of Artakha was disbanded, Shadow Stealer joined the Dark Hunters in order to find a sense of purpose. He periodically killed the less efficient members of the organization out of his hatred for his fellow Dark Hunters. His first mission took place somewhere far from Odina; the task should have taken many years to complete, but he was able to finish it in mere days.

Shadow Stealer then attempted to return to the island, but his progress was hindered by several battles. He was not able to make it back to Odina, but instead left the Great Spirit Robot for Spherus Magna after Teridax was killed.

Abilities and Traits

Shadow Stealer has the power to absorb shadows and transform them into energy. He can also use shadows as doors, disappearing into one and coming out of another. Using these abilities, he could have swiftly returned to Odina, but instead slowed his progress to deal with other Dark Hunters and Toa.

Quotes

"I think of him as a plague, striking the weak and making the strong even stronger."
