Fepaka

"They say that with age comes wisdom. It's a cruel lie, really. With age comes the illusion of wisdom and the horrible moment when people look to you for guidance and you have to tell them that you don't know what to do."

- Fepaka

Fepaka is a Toa of Iron and one of the oldest Toa in the Matoran Universe, created during its creation. He assisted with the construction of the Great Spirit Robot, and later became the founder of Inimetru.

Early Life
Fepaka was created as a Toa by the Great Beings, and was one of the first Toa of Iron to come into being. He assisted in the construction of the Matoran Universe, and was placed on the Northern Continent after its completion.

Being one of the few Toa in existence, Fepaka became a legendary protector of the Matoran of the Northern Continent. Against his will, a large group began to follow him, amassing to two thousand in number. Eventually, he led them in a mass exodus to the island that would later become the city of Inimetru.

He founded and helped build the city, assisting in construction with his powers. Once it was finished, the Matoran started seeing him as a leader for the city, and came to him for decisions, though eventually several Turaga came to help govern the city.

Abilities and Traits
As a Toa of Iron, Fepaka has control over metallic protodermis and can even generate it at will. His powers have made him a famous engineer in the Matoran Universe, and his craftsmanship was often said to rival that of Artakha.

Despite the way the Matoran view him, Fepaka is a very jaded and cynical being. He believes that the wisdom Matoran see in him is nonexistent, and that he is not who they think he is. Despite this, he continues to try to lead them and help out with the governance of the city.

Mask and Tools
Fepaka wears a Kanohi Arthron, Mask of Sonar, which allows him to "see" great distances using an artificial means of echolocation.

He wields one of the five Forges of Artakha, a great hammer that allows him to create anything that he can envision as long as he is given the resources. The hammer channels his elemental powers, and acts as his weapon in battle.
