Toa Makai

The Toa Makai are known as the first Toa, created to stop the warlord Diogenes and his Nightmare Horde as he attempted to conquer Mata-Nui. Very little is known about them, as the only information on the Makai comes from a series of ancient texts and from very vague memories from the Toa Mata(after falling in battle, the life energies of the Makai were used by Mata-Nui to create the Toa Mata). They also established the precedent that a Toa shouldn't kill-one of the factors in the Makai's death was the grief from killing, even if it was done for good.
