Paragarux

Paragarux was a simple He-Matoran in the city of He-Vema in Veman Nui. He worked in the Protodermis forgeries making various vehicle parts and armor plates.

Transformation
One day, when digging for more protodermis in the mines under the facility, he came across a strange glowing stone. When he touched the stone, it and he was engulfed in a ball of electricity. Once the fireball had dissapated, he had changed. His armor was now larger and tougher than before, and he had grown in size. In front of him lay two swords that glowed the same color as the stone. A voice said, "You have come as a petty Matoran, but you will leave as a noble guardian." He picked the up and ran out of the cave. He undertood. When he returned to the city, he told the story to everyone and was appointed guardian of He-Vema and its allies.

Defeat and exile
Several years later, the island of Veman Nui was attacked by the Dark Brotherhood of Makuta, and Paragarux was called upon to serve. Along with a strike force of matoran warriors, Paragarux defeated several of Makuta's Dark Hunters, and cut their way to an apparent victory. But the tide turned when he confronted the evil bounty hunter Shevernav. Shevernav defeated him and fled before he could be seen by anyone. After the battle, which was won by the Matoran despite the makuta's superior forces, Paragarux stated that he could no longer guarantee their safty and was banished from He-Vema.

Now Paragarux wanders the plains of Veman Nui, fighting anyone who crosses him. He has a legendary reputation of defeating even the best warriors and heros of Veman Nui and the surrounding islands. Travelers who visit He-Vema say he is seeking revenge against Shevernav, his sworn enemy, and hopes to regain his place as guardian of He-Vema.
