Malachi

"The world is like fire. It's relentless, unpredictable, and can burn you if you're not careful. I'd like to believe it's best to embrace that, not fear it."

- Malachi

Malachi is a Toa of Fire formerly native to Metru Nui. After becoming a Toa, he was summoned to the floating continent of Skya Nui.

Early Life
Malachi was created by the Great Beings as a Matoran to help build the Great Spirit Robot. After its completion, he was placed on Metru Nui, and became a standard member in its society.

Malachi became a relatively unknown mask maker in Ta-Metru, forging many masks to be sent across the universe. However, he was far overshadowed by greater mask makers such as Vakama and Nuhrii. He often did finishing work, helping touch up designs by more talented craftsmen. He also worked at the Reclamation Yard on the side, helping melt down failed Kanohi.

During a trading endeavor several hundred years before the Great Cataclysm, Malachi's ship was waylaid by Skakdi bandits, crashing on the Southern Continent. Malachi made his way to a small village, where he would live for some time.

Through unknown means, Malachi became a Toa and became a protector for his village.

Summons to Skya Nui
Nine-hundred years after the Great Cataclysm, Malachi was summoned to the floating city of Skya Nui. He took an airship to the sphere - the fist to do so in hundreds of years. Aboard the flight he met Whera, a Toa of Lightning; and Amahain, a female Toa of Stone.

Abilities and Traits
Malachi is an honest, albeit temperamental Toa of Fire. He usually avoids lying and is very poor at telling them. Working in the Mask Making business required little deception, and so he never practiced the art of deceit as a Matoran, and rarely if ever feels the need to do so.

He also, like most Toa of Fire, has a very quick temper. He can become angry about even inconsequential things, but does his best to control his anger lest it get out of hand.

As a Toa of Fire, Malachi has the ability to control and generate fire.

Mask and Tools
Malachi carries a Fire Sword, through which he can channel his elemental powers.
