Commander (SM)

The Commander (true name unknown) is a Souless Toa servant of Shadowmaster.

Biography
The Commander was once an Av-Matoran on Karda Nui. Before the Time Slip, he was kidnapped by Shale, and brought to Shadowmaster's fortress. Shadowmaster taunted him with the memories of all those he had loved on Karda Nui, and then took his Soul, transforming him into a Soulless Matoran.

He eventually became loyal to Shadowmaster, in the hopes that one day, he could go back to his friends on Karda Nui. During one mission, he was transformed into a Toa via Energized Protodermis. Because of his unusual transformation, he was given more power than a regular Soulless Toa, including the legendary Tryna.

The Commander worked his way up to the top of Shadowmaster's army, earning his title of "Commander". After Shadowmaster destroyed the universal barrier, the Commander was dispatched to stop the team of heroes from reaching Shadowmaster's fortress. During a battle, he lost his right arm, and it was replaced by a massive, bladed mechanical arm.

The Commander resides in the Fallen Empire's base currently.

Abilities and Traits
During his Matoran life, the Commander was very kind and passionate, and always enjoyed adventures. One of these "adventures" eventually lead to his capture by Shale. After becoming a Soulless and later a Toa, the Commander became more cold and reclusive, rejecting any emotions. However, he still retained his passion for adventure, and often waited for Shadowmaster to dispatch him on missions.

When an Av-Matoran, the Commander had the ability to change his armor color, and use trace amounts of light. He lost this ability when he became a Soulless, but gained the element of Shadow. When transformed into a Toa, his agility and strength greatly increased, and he gained the ability to transform into Shadow.

Mask and Tools
The Commander's mask, the Legendary Tryna, allowed him to permanently reanimate dead bodies, which would serve him until destroyed.
