Lurker

Lurker was a highly-capable Dark Hunter assassin, principally charged with eliminating rogue operatives.

Early Life
"Lurker" originally resided in a volcanic region in the Southern Island Chains, created by Mata Nui and based upon the genetic coding of several existing sapient species alongside the rest of his kind. However, after Mata Nui deemed the Aurosian Paladota species a failure and engineered a tsunami to purge them from the Matoran Universe, "Lurker" was left as one of the few survivors.

75,000 years ago, "Lurker" was known to have been implicated in the murder of a fellow Aurosian Paladota and was subsequently banished from the colony. With the League of Six Kingdoms having recently disbanded, "Lurker" would make a name for himself as a mercenary, accepting any and all assignments given to his services. Rising in prominence with the expansion of the Dark Hunters, "Lurker" would eventually be recruited by The Shadowed One, who sought to enlist his skills in his organization rather than compete with him.

Dark Hunters
70,000 years ago, "Lurker" was contracted to apprehend a Toa of Psionics named Varian, alongside Triglax and "Gatherer". With Triglax adopting the guide of a Toa of Sonics and infiltrating the local village, "Lurker" was known to have equipped himself with a Hagah Plasma Cannon and attacked the local Toa from afar. Apprehending both Toa Norik and Varian in the ensuing battle, Triglax would ultimately reveal himself and betray the Toa of Psionics, who promptly surrendered herself in exchanged for Norik's survival. Having completed the assignment successfully, "Lurker" came to earn The Shadowed One's favor.

"Lurker" was known to have participated in the Toa/Dark Hunter War on Metru Nui, where he had a number of clashes with the Toa Forces and betrayed "Tyrant", a Dark Hunter known to have harbored grudges against The Shadowed One. During this time, "Lurker" also had a notable rivalry with one of the four Toa Mangai of Ice. The war ended when Toa Nidhiki betrayed his fellow Toa, and the Dark Hunters were ambushed in the Canyon of Unending Whispers during their own attempt to ambush the Toa, as Lhikan had found out about Nidhiki's treachery. Lhikan allowed the Dark Hunters to leave unharmed in return for the Makoki Stone, along with the conditions that the Dark Hunters never return, and that they would take the traitor Nidhiki away with them.

Six months later, "Lurker" was among the many Dark Hunters on Odina who witnessed Toa Nidhiki's transformation into his four-legged, insectiod-like form on the coast that would later be named Nidhiki Beach.

To Be Added

Abilities and Traits
Upon his indoctrination into the Dark Hunter organization, "Lurker" was issued with a sophisticated type of exomorphic armor designed to increase his natural endurance. This armor was equipped with noise-cancelling technology, levitation capabilities, and mechanical stingers, which were able to be operated as independent mechanical appendages.

Proving himself an especially prideful operative, "Lurker" often fancied himself as one of the most accomplished Dark Hunters, harboring feelings of intense resentment towards Toa. "Lurker" could be distinguised by his affinity for melee weaponry, favoring blades and claws over ranged projectile launchers. Despite this, the Dark Hunter has been known to use a Hagah Plasma Cannon when his assignments demand more pronounced destruction.
