Ekumas

Ekumas is a Turaga of Ice.

History
Like most other Matoran, Ekumas was created by the Great Beings to construct and populate the Matoran Universe. Once the Great Spirit Robot was completed, he moved to Metru Nui. He was a Seer for some time, looking to the stars to predict the future. At some point, he was chosen to become a Toa, and formed a team alongside Lisfek and Juleva. A few years before the Toa Mata arrived on Mata Nui, they wandered into territory belonging to the Brotherhood of Makuta and were driven out. Lesfik was captured during the run, and Juleva later returned to the scene to rescue him. When he too was captured, Ekumas was forced to leave them.

He wandered the Matoran Universe for some time, aiding any fellow in need he came across. He took part in the Destiny War, attacking a Brotherhood base for the Order of Mata Nui. He came to Metru Nui to celebrate their victory, but was forced into hiding when Teridax overthrew Mata Nui. He would later reemerge when Tahu called for all arms to head to the Southern Islands, and took part in the Battle For Bara Magna. When Mata Nui successfully restored Spherus Magna, Ekumas transferred his Toa Power into some Toa Stones, transforming himself into a Turaga.

Turaga
Ekumas later gave some of his Toa Stones to Matoran of interest, and sent them to Labyth for training. A few months later, he attended a meeting between several members of the world's new society. Ekumas believed that they send out more teams to find the Great Beings, but was turned down by the leaders due to lack of resources and capable hands. After the meeting, Nokama and Lisfek comforted the Turaga of Ice, though he decided to strike out on his own.

Gathering a team of Matoran and Toa, he and his group set out to the jungles of Bota Magna. The group has yet to return.

Abilities and Traits
Dispute bearing the Element of Ice, Ekumas has had a fiery personality. He was determined, never one to give up until he was certain that he couldn't go on. He always desired to see the truth, resulting in him gaining an interest in archaeology. He was also knowledgeable in history and astronomy, due to his experiences in Ko-Metru. He seems to have discarded the Toa Code after becoming a Turaga, hinted by the fact that he wields a firearm.

As Toa of Ice, he could create, absorb, and manipulate ice and snow. He could reduce the temperature around him and freeze water. These powers were greatly reduced when he became Turaga, though he still retains a resistance to ice and cold.

Mask and Tools
What Kanohi and tools he bore as a Matoran and Toa are unknown. As a Turaga, he bore the Kanohi Elda, Noble Mask of Detection. While it could detect objects hidden out o the ordinary, it could not track the Ignika. He carried a Frost Spear, which he used to channel his Elemental powers. He also carried a pistol with him, though many frowned at the idea of it.

Trivia

 * Ekumas's name is "Samuke" spelled backwards, which is Japanese for "Chills".
 * Some beings call him "The Toa/Turaga From Karzahni", due to his fierce personality and control over Ice. This also alludes to the ice in Karzahni burning instead of giving off cold.
