Pyronax

"There's more to being a toa than being a great warrior. Sure, it helps, but that's not it! It requires determination, humility, nobility in heart & mind, puts the welfare of others above their own. Y'know, that sorta thing."

- Pyronax telling Taro Fawreth what being a toa's really about.

Pyronax is the founder of the Toa Sati. Pyronax was originally a Great Being.

History
Pyronax was an intelligent Great Being. He LOVED to create. Over time, he noticed a few of his fellow Great Beings become corrupted, losing sight of what it meant to be a Great Being.

He was able to construct himself a body should the need arise that he'd have to abandon ship, so to speak. Surprise, surprise, the need did eventually come. He transported his mind & soul into this body. Thus, he awoke in his smaller body. He made it small because he thought it was a way to keep from being too powerful. As the old saying goes, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

This doesn't mean Pyronax is now POWERLESS, far from it. Anyways, what he now lacks in strength (he wasn't too strong in the 1st place), he makes up for w/ his mind.

Sati
Pyronax eventually found himself an island, which he'd learn was called "Sati". He could practically feel/hear it calling out to him. He would set up a base of operations there. He also discovered that the island had cloaking devices for some reason. So, he used some cloaking devices of his own on his base. That way, it would look like another natural part of the island unless you were in very close proximity, like say... its front yard or something.

Even on a secluded island, he was still able to analyze the course of things other places. You may call it stalking at its finest, Pyronax calls it gaining knowledge.

Eventually, a being known as Lupus Ignis came & decided to conquer Sati, along w/ the rest of the lands. It was also then that Pyronax decided he'll have to start recruiting toa.

Using his state of the art tech, he was able to find some AMAZING options. He was able to find a total of 7 mighty warriors that he felt displayed the characteristics of true toa. He started recruiting them when he had the chance. After he formed the Toa Sati, Pyronax made himself a new head, complete with a cool mask. I guess he wanted to be like his students & be A- HEAD in the fight. Get it?

Abilities & Traits
Pyronax may be small, but he's also quite powerful. He's very wise & had a distinct sense of honor, dignity, discipline & restraint. He also tends to talk like the wise elder he is & put in some normal conversational speech; see the quote @ the top of the page.

Mask & Tools
Pyronax has a Quad-Flame Ray for a right hand, & has a pair of small but powerful Jet Packs, he also has a mapping system on his left hand. Pyronax wears the Kanohi Fikira - the Mask of Thought. It increases the wearer's intelligence & wisdom by several thousand percent.THIS is why he's the Mission Control leader of the Toa Sati & their mentor.

Trivia

 * Originally, BOTH of Pyronax's hands were blasters. But, I thought it'd be best to have an actual hand.
 * You CANNOT tell me "mapping system" on his left hand doesn't look like South Carolina!!
 * "Fikira" is Swahili for "thought".
