Velnax (Chicken Bond)

Velnax is a former servant of the Brotherhood of Makuta, and a member of the Shadow of Ages.

Biography
Native to a primitive land, deep in the Southern Islands, Velnax left his homeland and traveled north in search of better things in life. Eventually, he was taken in as a slave by the Brotherhood of Makuta, who used him in their labor force to help build their war machines and equipment. Eventually, he proved his worthiness in the eyes of his superiors when whilst toiling at a Brotherhood outpost, he was almost able to single-handedly repel an attack from a veteran team of Toa. Becoming a soldier in the Brotherhood's armies, Velnax would fight on the front lines of a number of their conquests.

Eventually, he became a field commander, and he soon gained a nasty reputation amongst the Brotherhood's ranks for his pitiless nature. Eventually, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances whilst conducting an investigation on the Northern Continent for Makuta Gorast, and he was not seen again for some time. In this time, he was believed deceased. In actuality, however, he had been abducted by the agents of the Shadow of Ages as instructed by the cults grand master, Millennium, who had taken an interest in Velnax.

After being persuaded to join, Velnax would remain on the island of Chrone for roughly a decade, becoming immersed in the Shadow's ways. Eventually, he began rising through the group's ranks until he became one of Millennium's most fanatical and devoted followers, earning him elite status amongst within the Cult. Eventually, he was deemed ready to return to his life outside the Shadow of Ages, and he returned to the Brotherhood under the guise that he had been abducted and held prisoner by a group of slavers before finally breaking free. Though doubtful of Velnax's story, the Brotherhood's members did not press the matter further, and eagerly allowed him to return to the Brotherhood's armies.

Serving as Millennium's spy and infiltrant in the Makuta's armies, Velnax would relay important information on the Brotherhood's operations back to Chrone. Several centuries after the Great Cataclysm, Velnax was tasked with a daunting mission: to capture and detain Makuta Dredzek and bring him before Millennium. Deciding to ambush him on a visit to Destral, Velnax attacked and abducted the Makuta of Versuva and took him to Millennium's island base. Not long after, Dredzek became a member of the Shadow of Ages, and took over Velnax's role as Millennium's personal spy within the Brotherhood due to his higher standing. When both returned to their normal activities, Dredzek made Velnax one of his personal aides and assistants.

Often, he was assigned by his superiors to arrange meetings between agents of the mercenary guild the Shadow Syndicate and Dredzek, the Brotherhood's liaison. However, though he would attend the meetings, he would not actually partake in the discussions and negotiations.

Order of Mata Nui/Brotherhood of Makuta War
Soon after Makuta Antroz and his strike team departed to attack Karda Nui and its Av-Matoran population, Velnax was assigned to an island to guard one of the fortresses there, which had been built on top of an older fortress from centuries early. Not long after, the recently freed Barraki Pridak and his army attacked the fortress and swiftly claimed, forcing Velnax to flee and attempted to return to Destral. Instead, however, he found the island under siege from the Order of Mata Nui, who had began launching surprise attacks against the Brotherhood around the universe.

Velnax only fought for a short time in the battle, and swiftly departed after feeling the Brotherhood would lose the struggle. He then rejoined with the remainder of the Brotherhood's forces and partook in the final struggle in Metru Nui, though, he was eventually forced to retreat with the remainder of the Brotherhood's forces once they were defeated.

Teridax's Reign
Makuta Teridax then took control of the robotic body of Mata Nui, and established his reign over the entire universe as a result. Fearing he would discover his true loyalties, Velnax fled back to Destral where he remained to aid Millennium make decisions in the strict and imposing time of Teridax's reign. When Rahkshi soldiers were being gathered to form a small army for the Shadow, Velnax assisted by using his former position in the Brotherhood of Makuta to infiltrate Rahkshi numbers and capture them. It remains unknown whether he migrated to Spherus Magna in the aftermath of Teridax's death and the near-destruction of the Matoran Universe.
