Toa Hagah (Verahk)

The Toa Hagah team of Makuta Verahk were a group of elite Toa specially selected to protect him from threats as his personal bodyguards. Under the leadership of a Toa of Gravity named Barionk, the team was entrusted with matters Verahk saw as beneath him. Following the rebellion lead by Norik, leader of Teridax's Toa Hagah, all but one of this team were killed of by Brotherhood minions or Verahk himself, leaving Barionk as the only known survivor.

Recruitment
The individual members of Verahk's Toa Hagah had been active as Toa for some time before they were recruited into the team. They were selected by the Brotherhood of Makuta from various areas of the Matoran Universe based on the merit of their individual accomplishments. After recieving intense training in combat from Verahk, they were bestowed with armor and Kanohi made of precious metals to differentiate them as elite Toa. Because of his keen mind and abilities, Toa of Gravity Barionk was selected to be the team's leader.

Brotherhood of Makuta
For several centuries, the Toa Hagah performed their duty of protecting Teridax and the other Makuta. They also performed duties Verahk and the Brotherhood believed was not worth their time or effort. When it was discovered that the Brotherhood was enslaving Matoran and working with the Dark Hunters, various Hagah teams began to rebel, Verahk's being among them.

At one point during this rebellion, Verahk's team confronted their employers and engaged them in battle, resulting in the majority of the team being killed. Barionk, however, survived and managed to wound Verahk before being forced to retreat. The former team leader eventually became a wanderer.
