Kualus

"Our bodies have been changed, but not our hearts. Not our spirit. No matter how we look, every breath we take, we take as heroes in the service of Mata Nui."

- Rahaga Kualus to his fellow Rahaga

Kualus was a Ko-Matoran, who became a Toa Hagah of Ice charged with protecting Makuta Teridax.

Early Life
Similarly to most other Toa of Ice, Kualus began his life as a Ko-Matoran on Spherus Magna, where he aided in the construction of the Matoran Universe. Upon its completion, Kualus was placed inside the Matoran Universe, which then departed Spherus Magna. The island of his original residence remains unclear. However, it is known that he was chosen to became part of a Toa team at some point in the later history of the Matoran Universe. After his transformation, the Ko-Matoran abandoned his original Kanohi in favor of a Mask of Rahi Control, unwilling to use his previous Kanohi.

Life as a Toa
Some time after Kualus' transformation, the Makuta species evolved. Subsequently, the Brotherhood of Makuta decided that the Makuta needed Toa bodyguards. Kualus was selected as a representative Toa of Ice. As such, he was endowed with metallic armor to indicate his status as an Elite Toa. Additionally, he was presented with a new Mask of Rahi Control, which was sculpted to mimic an unknown Kanohi and served as a badge of honor.

Over the course of his career as a Toa Hagah, Kualus became affiliated with Norik, Gaaki, Bomonga, Pouks, and Iruini. Chiefly, this Toa Unit was charged with guarding Makuta Teridax from Rahi attacks.

During the Great Disruption, Kualus and his teammates accompanied Teridax to Metru Nui, where they aided in peace negotiations, all the while unaware of the Archives Massacre.

Roughly 1300 years ago, however, Kualus and his cohorts became aware of the Brotherhood of Makuta's ulterior motives and came to recognize Makuta Teridax as an oppressive figure, who had become disenfranchised from the will of the Great Spirit. In an act of rebellion, the Toa Hagah attempted to smuggle the Kanohi Avohkii off of Destral and transfer it into the hands of their fellow Toa. However, only Norik and Iruini were able to escape the initial assault, leaving Gaaki, Bomonga, Pouks, and Kualus behind. Taken prisoner by a Vortixx named Roodaka, the four captive Toa were mutated by the effects of her Rhotuka spinner, transforming into haggard and twisted Rahkshi-Turaga crossbreeds nicknamed Rahaga.

Abilities and Traits
As a Toa of Ice, Kualus could create, control, and absorb Ice. This also gave him the ability to manipulate temperature, trigger avalanches, flash-freeze a target, and produce frozen constructs. Furthermore, Kualus possessed a natural resistance to colder temperatures.

Mask and Tools
Kualus wore a Great Mask of Rahi Control, which granted him full cognitive control over a singular or collective group of Rahi in a nearby proximity. This particular Mask of Rahi Control was crafted in the shape of an unknown Noble Kanohi and often took a hefty mental toll upon the bearer.
