Trinak

''"All people can be redeemed, it just takes time." ''- Toa Trinak

Creation
Trinak was the second Matoran built, right after Takua. Trinak was an experimental Le-Matoran/Bo-Matoran hybrid given the ability to feel emotion. He was built by the Great Being, Angonce. Angonce also created a female Vo-Matoran/Ga-Matoran hybrid who could also feel emotion, named Gaila. Angonce gave them the ability to feel emotion out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised by the result. Despite this, the other Great Beings wanted them dead, seeing them as abominations that went against the original plan, and as a result, were considered risky and dangerous to the plan. This would lead to Angonce putting him into two small canistes hidden within the Great Spirit Robot beneath Metru Nui. Trinak would sleep for years, until he would awaken with his memories in tact. It would be then that he would begin to wander Metru Nui to find Gaila.

Metru Nui
Trinak would awaken soon after the Matoran Civil War would begin. This would cause difficulty finding Gaila. While asking about the place he was at, he learned of Ga-Matru, That would be his first destination. While travelling, he would reach the border of Ta-Metru and Po-Metru, where the fighting was the most intense. While here, a Ta-Matoran name Mavuri and his Po-Matoran friend, Kaiva, would meet Trinak at the border. It is here the three would be caught in the middle of a fight, where Kaiva's mask would be cracked. Going in and out of consciousness, they would wander into Ta-Metru, where they would meet a mask maker named Phekura, a matoran who made masks for all Matoran, even the enemy Po-Matoran. He would craft Kaiva a new mask, a powerless Rau. As the three would leave the forge, it would explode in a firery blaze, with Phekura's mask, a mask of unique design, landing at Trinak's feet. He would wear the mask on his back as he treked across Metru Nui.

After the incident, the three would tell who they were and what they were doing. Kaiva would start, telling the group of his history of archiving all entities in Metru Nui, even Matoran. Mavuri would follow, telling of his history as a mask maker, before an attempt to create a powered mask for a Matoran led to the Matoran's death, which would cause him to be disgraced and wanted in Metru Nui. Trinak would tell his story, but only Kaiva would believe him, for he never recognized Trinak's name. The three would head to a market in Po-Metru, where Mavuri would be forced to stay back due to concerns of terrorism in the district.

Madness in the Market
Trinak and Kaiva journeyed into the Po-Metru market, where they would search for various supplies. The supplies list was as follows: While here, Le-Matoran and Ko-Matoran troops would march to the border to assist Po-Metru in defending against an attack by Ta-Metru troops. It is here where Trinak would meet Vuati, a Le-Matoran informant who had been gathering intel across the Metrus to assist Po-Metru. A Ta-Matoran would later try to assassinate Vuati using a dagger. Vualti would be stabbed in the abdomen, almost dying of his wounds. Trinak, who was only now learning of the Matoran Civil War, would assist Vuati. However, a group of Ta-Matoran insurrectionists would attack the market in an attempt to kill them. Vuati would then take a speeder and crash it into a nearby stone tower. As he escaped the wreckage, the tower would fall, trapping the Ta-Matoran beneath it.

Seperation
Trinak would travel back to Kaiva, where he would inform him of the situation. Kaiva, unwilling to fight in the war, would not join Trinak. Trinak, however, would attempt to assist the Matoran in his quest.

The Matoran would head to Ko-Metru along a safe path, which was heavily defended. As they journeyed along the path, the path would be hit in a surprise attack from Onu-Metru. A knowledge tower was struck, and began to fall. This would lead to a chain reaction, where multiple towers began to collapse and shatter. Vuati and Trinak would rush through the battle, making to the otherside. Vuati was imapled through the leg by a shard from the Knowledge Tower. Trinak would carry him the rest of the way to the Ko-Metru War Camp, which was made from Knowledge Tower rubble. Here, the information would be delivered and Vuati would be healed of his injuries, however, he would also learn that Gaila was being held captive in Le-Metru.

Wanted: Dead or Alive
Trinak began to formulate a plan to free his friend. The night he was to execute the plan, Vuati found out and attempted to arrest Trinak. Trinak would not allow this, and as a result, would fight his way to the speeders. He stole a speeder and began to run from the Matoran Police Force. Finally, he would reach the border of Le-Metru, where an attack recently occurred. Trinak would then hide his old mask, taking up a new one from a dead Matoran. He would also paint his armor bright green, and venture into Le-Metru.

While wandering, he would be mistaken for Matra, a Le-Metru war hero. This was due to the mask Trinak took, which was Matra's mask. The Le-Matoran would then send him to the prison they were holding Gaila. This is where he would spend weeks plotting her escape. Once the right night came, he took a prisoner transport used to transport Ga-Matoran, and made sure she was loaded on. He went to his mask's hiding place, turned on the Le-Matoran in the transport, and freed Gaila, along with the other Ga-Matoran. The two ran off, catching up on what has been happening.

Reunited
Trinak and Gaila, now united, began to search for Kaiva and Mavuri. When Gaila asked how long it had been since Trinak awoke, he answered that he was awake for approximately 5 years. Gaila, however, revealed she had been awake for over 300 years. She explained to him the Metru Nui Civil War, and how it began. She also explained many other things, such as the rise of the Dark Hunters. The two explained how they also felt emotions that other Matoran and entities didn't feel, which made them feel alone. The two, now caught up on everything, continued their search for Kaiva and Mavuri.

The Slums
Their search took them to the slums of Ta-Koro, where the black market was selling war scraps, like refurbished vehicles and weapons. It was here Trinak found Kaiva and Mavuri. Gaila, who recognized the two, was skeptical. However, she was able to coax her into meeting the Matoran. As Trinak approached their market stand, nearby matoran drew weapons. The pair was surrounded by swords, daggers, launchers, etc. After much deliberation, Kaiva and Mavuri determined Trinak wasn't working for the other side, but still refused to trust Gaila. It was here that it was revealed she was forced into the Ga-Metru military. While Trinak managed to convice the pair that she was on their side, they still kept an eye on her. The Matoran, however, were wanted. This led to retreating to the Onu-Metru archives for the length of the war.

350 Years Later: The Archives Massacre
About 350 years later, Gaila, Trinak, Kaiva, and Mavuri began to create a small group of survivors. A community was built in an old part of the Archives that hadn't been used for centuries. Vortixx bounty hunters, various Dark Hunters, and many Matoran Scouts were seen roaming parts of the Archives. This led to creating defenses in the Archives just in case. These would come into use a few months later, when Makuta Teridax would lead hundreds of combatants into the Archives. The fighting would continue for hours, destroying the small community, until Teridax unleashed hundreds of Rahi in the Archives. Once everyone realized they were locked inside, the had no choice but to fight back against the Rahi. Despite their efforts, the Matoran were slaughtered. Masks laid on the ground shattered or damaged. Gaila was found later, her mask broken in half. Trinak later looked to the various masks on the ground, and at the end of one long hall layed a single orange Noble Mahiki. This mask belonged to Mavuri, but his corpse was unrecognizable, ripped apart by the great beasts of the archives. It was cracked, however, and wouldn't be a suitable replacement. In a last ditch effort, Trinak removed his mask and placed it on Gaila, but after many hours of getting weaker, her light still continued to fade, until it went out completely. Navigating around the matoran bodies with the faint purple and blue light of the Archives, he retireved his mask and put it on, only to collapse and pass out.

Recovery
Trinak was recovered by Toa Likhan, who was trying to find a way into the Archives as the Massacre was happening. Likhan gave him a Toa Stone, but not telling him what to do with it. All he would say was "Keep it close". After continuing on, Trinak got a special mask made to hold the stone. The stone would reside in his mask, unused for centuries. Meanwhile, his hated towards Teridax for the massacre would only get worse, and would guide him in the future.
