Ahpolki Inika's Storyline
A member of the Ywinakim species, Knilac and his kind were created by Mata Nui to inhabit the island of Ames. At some point in time, he would be elected to rule his island by his people and was appointed king of the Ywinakim. He chose the island's Makuta, Hyarui, to be his adviser, and the two became fast friends. When the Great Cataclysm occurred, however, the bioqauke seemed to have somehow caused psychological damage to the Makuta.

Hyarui went on a mad rampage, killing and driving off Ywinakim and Brotherhood of Makuta forces alike. When Knilac tried to knock some sense into his adivsor, he was swiftly defeated by the derange Makuta, believing him to be a vengeful ghost. He was imprisoned within the dungeons of his own castle, and only he and Hyarui were the remaining inhabitants of Ames. Seven hundred years later, Botar sneaked into the fortress and offered the disgraced king a place in the Order of Mata Nui. Knilac accepted, and was teleported to Daxia by the jailer.

He would later go on to act as a trainer and recruiter for the Order, and was known for training Nebaq and an outsider disguised as a Matoran. He would later take part in the Destiny War, regathering his people and leading an assault on Ames. he fought and killed Hyarui, allowing him to reclaim his race's homeland. However, he was unable to defend it from Teridax once he took over Mata Nui's body. With his kingdom destroyed and the Ywinakim nearly extinct, he was forced to flee.

He would heed Tahu's call to the Southern Islands, and led whatever survivor he found to Bara Magna. He survived the battle for it, and was witness to Mata Nui's restoration of Spherus Magna. He is now working alongside the new Matoran/Agori society and is aiding in construction of New Atero.
