Biography

Gar was injured and sent to Karzahni to be repaired, but Karzahni did a poor job of it and sent Gar was to the Southern Continent to hide his failure. He was on Voya Nui during the upheaval caused by the Great Cataclysm, which tore the region from the Southern Continent and sent it to the planet surface. He lived on a piece of land that broke off and sank into the ocean, becoming Mahri Nui. There, he got partially mutated by the Pit Mutagen to be partially reverted to his normal and stronger form.

Though he forgot his memories of living on Voya Nui, Gar eventually became Defilak's best friend. Gar went on a sea expedition with Sarda, Idris, and Defilak to discover what was preying on the Mahri Nui Matoran. Defilak's Submarine was torn apart by Takea as Gar and the other Matoran entered Pridak's territory. After a brief interrogation by Pridak, he escaped with Idris. They swam to the Fields of Air in an attempt to strengthen their fading personal air bubbles, but found them infested by Keras. Both would have died had Defilak not found them and pulled them into Mahri Nui. Gar joined with the others to smash the city's Lightstones to drive off the massive Venom Eel attacking it.

Gar and the other Mahri Nui Matoran were later sent to a passage that would take them up the Cord, led by the Toa Mahri. Axonn took him and the other Matoran into the Nui Caves to survive Voya Nui's descent. Gar then returned to the surface of the Southern Continent.

After Teridax's defeat in the Battle of Bara Magna, Gar relocated to Spherus Magna along with the surviving Matoran.

Abilities and Traits

Gar is naturally cautious, questioning various points of Defilak's plans, but was willing to help his friend. He is also very noble, and prepared to sacrifice himself to save Idris, even though he did not know her very well.

Gar was rebuilt by Karzahni into a weaker form, although most of these alterations were undone by a brief exposure to the Pit Mutagen. As an Onu-Matoran, Gar can see well in the dark, and is fairly strong.

Tools

When he rebuilt Gar, Karzahni also gave him a weapon so that he could defend himself. During his time underwater, he wielded an Air Launcher.
