Gringat

''"Do you really think we should keep this one, Master? He seems... incompetent, in relation to the others." ''

-Vanembar adressing Lord Poliaz after the creation of the Toa Vanembar.

Gringat was originally a Matoran of Air on the island of Poliaz, but became a Toa, and then an Elemental Lord. His last deed was to enable the creation of a colony of Matoran and Agori on a distant planetary system, before his death at the blade of another Lord.

Gringat as a Matoran
Gringat's first home was on an island named Poliaz, where he worked as a general handyman and liked to tinker with machinery in his spare time. After a while he became incredibly skilled with machinery, and left to the island of Xia to ply his trade as a weapon and vehicle engineer. His GringatTronics line became fairly popular until he lost business to Nuparu's Vahki and the matoran Ferrum. Unbeknownst to him, many of his designs were also stolen by Makuta Raximoras.

After what he deemed a "sucessful waste of a century", Gringat returned home to Poliaz to ply his trade there, instead. Unfortunately, he could not afford his old home, and had to settle for a small flat over a shop in a rather unfavourable area of the city. It is there that he became the victim of theft once again, this time by a gang of matoran that went by the name of the Black Delta. They stole what little blueprints and materials he had left.
