"I've created the sound of madness, wrote the book on pain, and yet I'm still here to explain it. Perhaps a reminder should be in session."~"Minotaur to one of his agents.

History
While Tren Krom oversaw Karda-Nui, He was left defenceless. "The Minotaur" was created to serve as his bodygaurd. As such, he wasn't driven insane by Tren Krom. When the Matoran Universe was complete, he joined and served in the Hand of Artahka. When the group was disbanded, "The Minotaur" wandered the MU. As he did, he developed a hot and firce ahtred ofthe MU. Why should HE serve THEM. THEY should be serving HIM. One day, he finally snapped and lanuched an all-out assult on Destral, killing 9 Makuta. He was defeated, only to be whisped away by Botar to The Pit for his crimes. Then his day came.

2,000 years before Mata-Nui was struck down by Makuta Teridax, the former was studying Earth. As he did, a meteor crashed into the part where The Pit was, destroying "The Minotaur"'s rpison and sent down down to his doom. The Order of Mata-Nui later fixxed the part, believing that the prisoner met his death. He didn't.

He crashed in Greece, during the time when Greek Mythology was created. He took his atlas from the Greek creature in one of those Myths. Since then, he had agents that spied on the world's empeires, plotting a wa to return to Spherus Magna and conquere it.

Some time in the early 1990's, one of agents discovered the secert treaties and allainces proir to the event. His spies w/in the Black hand then influenced Dragutin Dimitrijeviæ (AKA "Apis") into assianating Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Taking advantage of World War 1, he discovered Kanohi masks hidden around Earth (possibly created by Xeal's and Tursian's teams). He also found Xeal's old formula to modify a Human into a Toa-like state, allowing them to use Kanohi masks. A marvelous plan was born.

Some time during World War II, a group of Nazi scientists found a Knaohi Olmak (possibly belonging to Mistrak). Though they didn't know of its true power, they sent it to one of their labs in Belguim. After many fail attpemts, Adolf Hitler hid it in a safe in the Reich Chancellery. The alien being saw the German dicator as a threat to his exodus. 2 days after he married Eva Braun, the dicator was approuched by one of his men, wearing a hooded cloak. When he removed it, he revealed himself to be a biomechincal human, built like that of a Toa (though no human ever heard of or known about Toa). The traitor actived his Komau, forcing Eva to bite a cyanite capsule and Hilter into shooting himself w/ his own Walther PPK. The assassian also stole some papers and blueprints, throwing decoies into a fireplace to cover the theft up.

When he returned, "The Minotaur" asked for the mask. The agent refused, instead intent on keeping it for himself. Helost control of it, though, having never used such power.Dimensional Gates were formed inside of him, ripping him apart inside-out. The Olmak was destroyed in the chaos, leaving "The Minotaur" trapped on Earth even longer.

Shortly after WWII, he sent a request to the ruler of North Korea to have them build a base for him. He refused. In respounse, the being sent a disturbing message: He knew of their nuclear weapons from the beginning, and the means of detnating them. The human had two choices: Either give in, or face 2 wars as his world burns in atomic flame. He chose the 1st option, a wise move. He blackmailed Iran, The Soviet Union, and even the United States in a similar fashion. Even today, he still holds the trigger.

Powers and Traits
While he is arrogant and prideful, he knows when to push them aside. He has vast amount of military experience, and as such knows how t properly command an army. All he cares about is his conquest of Spherus Magna, so he cares less for other worlds or speices. He's been to be highly charismic and manipulative, winning his allies through blackmail and bribbery. Sometimes he keeps his word, sometimes he doesn't. It vareis on how it'd affect his exodus.

"The Minotaur" has high endaurance, strength, and powerful armor. He has the ability to fire lasers from his eyes, which can disinegrate almost anything they hit (save for the user himself).

Triava
"The Minotuar" is one of my favorite MOCs/Characters to write about.

He was inspiered by Sidorak (BIONICLE), Cyrotek (Transformers), and The Master (Fallout).

-One of his agents is infact an alternate version of Aridike (AKA, The BARON). How he managed to contact him (since Aridike is in the MU while "The Minotaur"'s still stuck on Earth) is uncertain. It is posible that The Minotaur hired Aridike in helping him return to the MU.
