Alchemist

"Alchemist" was a Toa of Iron who was kidnapped and transformed into a Dark Hunter.

Early History
"Alchemist" started out as a Fe-Matoran living on Leskya Nui, and was eventually transformed into a Toa of Iron. Not much is known about his time as a Matoran or a real Toa, as he refused to reveal any of it as a Dark Hunter. During the attacks on his island led by the Brotherhood of Makuta, he was kidnapped for "experimental purposes". Makuta Tetradon mutated him, removing much of his elemental power, and smelting his Kanohi mask down. All of his organic parts were removed and replaced with mechanical constructions. and his head was infused with optic enhancers.

After his experimentation (which he was not conscious to witness), he awoke in a metal building. He attempted to use his powers to escape, but found himself severely weakened. He eventually burst his way out, walking down long corridors and reaching a weapons room. After picking up a laser harpoon, he was met with several Visorak, which he destroyed. When he tried to escape further, he found that (the mechanical replacement of) his nervous system was being taken over by an outside source. After hours of struggling, he was transformed into a cold, heartless machine.

He later joined the Dark Hunters, performing many missions for The Shadowed One. On one such mission he became stranded on Powai Nui. There he met Tetradon and Nephix, and became allied with them. Later, when Nephix was betrayed by Tetradon and went insane, "Alchemist" chose to stay with him, as he for some reason liked Tetradon less.

The Feral Plains
When aggressive "colonist" Toa and Matoran arrived on Powai Nui, "Alchemist" remained hidden from sight until some time. He then bargained an alliance between him and Toa Vandir, who reluctantly accepted, having ben promised that the Dark Hunter had no relations with the Makuta. Vandir first sent "Alchemist" on a mission to kidnap one of the "native" Toa, Turaga or Matoran. He ultimately failed, and was knocked unconscious by Salvina, and was held captive. However, he later escaped back to Vandir's colony.

In return for the mission, he sent Vandir with a Mask of Shapeshifting to trick Maroona into performing a ritual with the Shrine of Salvation. This ultimately led to the resurrection of Hysterix's body.

During an attack led by the natives, "Alchemist" defended Vandir's colony and fought against Lewok he ultimately deserted the fight when the Toa of Air was knocked away by Hatar.

Later, after Keelo was mutated into a powerful Toa and conquered much of Powai Nui, the Emperor beat and exiled "Alchemist" for deserting the battle, and the mechanical being fell into power-down mode outside near some large bushes. Around a month later, Omakah found his body sitting in the rain, covered in mud and plant material. The Po-Matoran accidentally reactivated the machine, however "Alchemist" had lost memory of his history, apparently recieving anmesia from his brutal beating. Omakah convinced him that he was a Toa, and the two temporarily became allies.

Note: "Alchemist"'s story is still being written.

Powers and Equipment
As a Toa of Iron, "Alchemist" was able to control the element of Iron.

As a Dark Hunter, he still retained a little control over the element of Iron, but only enough to bend metal, dent armor, and push enemies away. These powers only manifest when he thinks of his past as a Toa. He also gained a resistance to acids, corresponding with his preference for using dangerous chemicals, thus his name. His mechanical parts also give him incredible strength, and high durability.

"Alchemist" wields a Laser Harpoon, a sniper-like blaster he obtained in Tetradon's lair. He also uses a variety of potions of various types, such as Freezing, Invisibility, Knock-Out, Incendiary, Corrosive, Explosive, Toxic, Blinding, and his personal favorite, Highly Reactive to Metal (often abbreviated as "HRtM").

Personality
"Alchemist" is a cold, heartless being by default, who would never do something for the sake of doing it. He is very selfish, only performing tasks for others if there is some sort of reward. He also has no sense of morality, except in the case where he suffered from amnesia.
