Delan

"I lost them. My entire team. I should have died back there, all those years ago. Only one thing gives me the will to live now."

- Delan.

Delan is a Toa of fire.

Early History
Delan was a Matoran working on Nynrah for years as a Nynrah Ghost. He befriended a female Ta-Matoran named Sarai (who was actually an Av-Matoran), who he usually worked with. During his time on Nynrah, he and Sarai somehow became Toa, although it is unknown exactly how.

Toa Mangai
After becoming Toa, the arrived on Metru Nui via Toa Canisters. The two joined a large team of Toa, known as the Mangai, under the lead of a Toa named Lhikan.

Delan's first mission was to save the city from the wrath of the Kanohi Dragon. The creature was subdued and sent to the island of Xia.

Delan also participated in the Toa-Dark Hunter War, and was present at the ambush of the Dark Hunters in the Canyon of Whispers. He oversaw Nihdiki's exile.

Sea Gates
Years of protecting Metru Nui went by, and Delan and Sarai were both ordered to close the Sea Gates that linked the city with the rest of the universe. When he, Sarai, and two other Toa arrived at their assigned gate, a dark hunter attacked them, killing the other two Toa. Sarai tried to grab one of their fallen friend's mask, a Kakama, but failed. The two escaped out of the sea gate before they could be killed.

The two were left adrift in a boat for years, until they washed ashore on Tetra Nui. There were no active Toa teams there, so Delan became a Freelancer.

Personality
Delan is a serious and tough Toa of Fire. He is ready for almost any situation, and is a good friend to those who know him. His closest companion is Sarai, the female Toa he befriended years ago on Nynrah. He is also the only one who knows that Sarai is really a Toa of Light.

Delan also suffers from mild depression, as he is constantly haunted by the loss of his teammates. This has also contributed to his fear of loss, which makes him extremely protective of Sarai.

Mask and Tools
Delan wears the Great Mask of Amplification, which can amplify a Toa's elemental power a hundredfold. He carries a fire blade, which can channel his power of flame.
