Prototype

Prototype was a Dark Hunter known to have been formed in an experimental fusion between a Toa of Earth and a Toa of Fire.

Early Life
Originally comprised of two unique beings, "Prototype" first came to existence some time after the Great Disruption, when a Dark Hunter acquired the Spear of Fusion and used it to permanently fuse a Toa of Earth and a Toa of Fire. Driven mad by the unstable transformation, the resulting amalgamated being fled from his village in a frenzied rampage and took shelter in a nearby jungle.

Several years later, a group of Dark Hunters recovered "Prototype" in a wounded state. Electing to bring him back to Odina, the Dark Hunters presented "Prototype" before The Shadowed One, who saw potential in his new-found hatred of Matoran. Seeking an allegiance after being rejected by his village, "Prototype" came to readily serve The Shadowed One in his composite mercenary guild, unaware of the role the Dark Hunters had played in his creation.

Dark Hunters
Subjected to a number of experiments after his acceptance into the organization, Dark Hunter scientists would later study "Prototype" in a laboratory, determining that he possessed the vestiges of Elemental Earth and Fire capabilities, but that his mental state prevented him from fully accessing either Elemental discipline. "Prototype" was then fitted with especially durable armor to house his weaker organic components.

Owing to his reduced mental capacity, "Prototype" was often kept on Odina and given simple operations, usually accompanying more intelligent Dark Hunters as added muscle. Occasionally, The Shadowed One would commission "Prototype" to battle new recruits, prompting them to come up with new and imaginative ways of incapacitating him in order to gain admittance into the organization.

By the time of the Great Cataclysm, the total Dark Hunter population had begun to see drastic increase in size, with members of the organization growing more experienced and with The Shadowed One constantly searching for new potential in his ranks. Having proved himself an especially capable saboteur, "Prototype" came to be involved in the front lines of numerous Dark Hunter offensives, destroying Rahkshi squadrons with his brute strength and inconveniencing numerous members of the Makuta species. With the Matoran Universe running on auxiliary power and the Brotherhood of Makuta now in a prime position of power, "Prototype" spent the majority of the Dark Times engaged in espionage operations.
