Biography

Metru Nui

Bour was captured by the Vahki under the command of Makuta Teridax, disguised as Turaga Dume, and forced into a Matoran Sphere. However he was later rescued by the Toa Metru and awakened on the shores of Naho Bay on the island of Mata Nui.[2][3]

Mata Nui

Bour's size and strength was reduced and he forgot about his previous life, resulting from his imprisonment in a Matoran Sphere. Nevertheless, instructed by Turaga Onewa, he helped in the construction of Po-Koro, with pieces from Airships which had been used by the Toa Metru in the Great Rescue.[4]

On Mata Nui, Bour worked as a Carver and laid the foundations of all the carvings in Po-Koro.[5] Bour was among the Matoran that were evacuated to Ga-Koro after Tahnok swarms overwhelmed Po-Koro in the course of the Bohrok Invasion. After the Pahrak swarms cornered the Matoran in Ga-Koro, Bour made a final stand along with all the other Matoran present, before the Bahrag were defeated by the Toa Mata.[6][7][8] He later returned to Po-Koro. Shortly after the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal, Bour was rebuilt into a form resembling the one he had prior to being shrunk by a Matoran Sphere.[9] Bour shared his knowledge of the Principle of Creation with Hahli when she traveled to Po-Koro, training for the Kolhii Tournament.[5]

Return to Metru Nui

Bour helped in the construction of boats when the Matoran returned to Metru Nui.[10] Subsequent to their arrival, he and the other Matoran commenced upon their work to reconstruct damaged parts of the city. He temporarily stopped his work of reconstruction on order of Jaller, to force the Turaga to reveal where the Toa Nuva had gone, but he eventually got back to work until the Staff of Artakha was used.[11]

Bour later left the Matoran Universe for Spherus Magna after Teridax was defeated by Mata Nui.[12][13]

Trivia
