Shadow Blade

Shadow Blade, is a Toa of Shadow serving the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Biography
The Matoran later known as Shadow Blade was created by the Great Beings and tasked with helping in the construction of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. After laboring in darkness to create the islands and locations of the Matoran Universe, he and the other Av-Matoran were tasked with the preparation of the universe core, Karda Nui for the Great Spirit's awakening. When the Av-Matoran suffered attacks from the lightning-like Avohkah, the Toa Mata were summoned to protect them. This Matoran later returned to his homeland in the caves below the Southern Continent.

During the six month Time Slip, the Order of Mata Nui hid a number of Av-Matoran on a number of different islands. This Matoran was one of them, and was discovered by the Brotherhood of Makuta and captured. Some time later, the Brotherhood began experimenting with mutant Kraata called Shadow Leeches. To see their effect on a Matoran they exposed the innocent Matoran to their light-absorbing power. They then used stolen Toa power to create the first Toa of Shadow. They named their successful experiment Shadow Blade.

Shadow Blade was last seen stationed as a guard on Destral. His status following Makuta Teridax's takeover remains unknown.
