Helryx (Chalkaverse-1)

"Mata Nui be with you, Director."

- Agent Kadalys to Director Helryx, Spotlight: Helryx.

Helryx is a female Ga-Toa, former member of the Hand of Artakha, and founder and director of the secretive Order of Mata Nui.

Early Life
Unlike most other Toa, Helryx was created directly by the Great Beings and was the first Toa to be created. Helryx was tasked by her creators to oversee the construction of the Great Spirit Robot, as well as its initial test run. As well, she later oversaw the construction of a few of the more prominent islands, such as Metru Nui, within the pocket dimension known as the Matoran Universe contained in the robot.

After the launch of the Great Spirit Robot, Helryx joined a group of beings attempting to keep peace in the universe, known as the Hand of Artakha. However, the group would later disband.

Order of Mata Nui
Some time after the disbanding of the Hand of Artakha, Helryx formed a new group based on similar ideals, named the Order of Mata Nui. She began recruiting like-minded individuals, including an Aurosian who constructed the original headquarters building on Daxia. The organization would continue to grow under her leadership, becoming quite large and eventually constructing a more secure base within the mountains and beneath the ground. Though Helryx found herself behind a desk more often than in the field, she became quite satisfied with the Order and its ability to protect the Matoran Universe and carry out the will of Mata Nui.

Codex of Fire
"We’ve been searching for more Elemental Codexes for years now. Every time we’ve found one, it’s slipped away."

- Helryx to Echo, Spotlight: Helryx.

After a handful of attempts to acquire one, Helryx learned of a report about an Elemental Codex in Metru Nui. Setting out immediately, Helryx managed to find her way into an ancient structure hidden beneath Po-Metru and Ga-Metru. There she encountered a Cy-Matoran known as Marducae as he laid claim to the Codex of Fire for himself. The two entered into fierce combat with each other, with Helryx eventually emerging victorious.

A few days later, Helryx was asked to come to one of the Order’s prison complexes, where Marducae was being held. The guard led her to his cell, where Marducae had somehow managed to kill himself. Arrangements were made to examine his body to find out how he died, and Helryx moved on with her duties.
