Frucas

Frucas is a veteran Toa of Fire from Krano Nui.

Matoran
Not much is known about Frucas' life as a Matoran, except that he was the Captain of the Ta-Krano Guard, and was made a Toa by Carok.

Toa
As a Toa, Frucas and the rest of the Toa Krano protected the Matoran of Krano Nui.

51 years ago, Frucas recieved a cry for help from a Matoran on the island of Nepolius. He went to the island, and learned that the Dark Hunters were planning to invade. In response, he evacuated the Matoran, except for Ikov, who refused to leave.

When the Hunters arrived, Frucas was captured by Ravager, who held him in a cave under Nepolius. He was interrogated by Vanisher, but escaped and tried to leave the island in a Toa Canister. Upon opening his comlink, Frucas discovered that Krano Nui had been overrun and destroyed, and that Kurek and Covoc were coming to find him. Miran and Kuro had left on other missions, but all had been told not to return.

Using his fire powers to blast the canister forwards, Frucas went back to Nepolius to aid his comrades, and was met by a large creature called Vashkov, who was really Ikov using the Kanohi Zutekhae's energies to give him powers. He said that Kurek and Frucas could leave, but Covoc had to stay. They agreed, and the two Toa left for Irania Nui, leaving their comrade to deal with Vashkov.

On Irania Nui, an island outside the Matoran Universe, they were welcomed by Miran and Kuro (who had already arrived) and by Turaga Lome, the Ruler of Irania Nui and a friend of Carok. He told them that they could stay as long as they wished on the island.

Abilities and Traits
As a Toa of Fire, Frucas has many powers associated with that element. He can create and control fire, as well as generate a Nova Blast, but this would kill him and destroy anything within a certain range.

Mask and Tools
Frucas wears the Kanohi Kualsi, the Great Mask of Quick-Travel, and carries a Flame Vortex Crossbow, capable of channeling his elemental powers and combining them with electricity. He used to carry a Midak Skyblaster as his main weapon, but it was destroyed.
