Mersery (Toa Hydros)

Mersery is a veteran member of the Order of Mata Nui.

Early Life
A member of the Mersion species, Mersery originally worked as a scientist and scholar on his native island of Versuva until an evil warlord conquered the island and enslaved his people. Seeking help, Mersery went to the Hand of Artakha for help, who responded by sending several of their members to fight off the warlord and his forces.

Once the threat of the warlord had passed, Mersery joined the Hand. He served as a member for roughly one hundred years before it was dispanded, resultig in him returning to Versuva.

Order of Mata Nui
Shortly after the Hand was dispanded, a Toa of Water known as Helryx approached Mersery and offered him a spot among the ranks of the Hand of Artakha's succesor, the Order of Mata Nui, which he accepted. He became one of the Order's greatest scientists, lending his services in many experiments, in addition to aiding other members on missions.

Among the experiments he aided in, one was helping a fellow Order scientist named Zardex create the mutagenic compound that would allow the order to enhance normal Toa, giving them the potential tofight the Brotherhood of Makuta's forces if need be. Though he worked closely with Zardex on the project, he was unable to attend the the actual trial run.

Mersery also had a part in altering Barraki Ehlek's species in hopes of making more soldiers to use against the Brotherhood. This project, however, was also a failure.

At some point after discovering the Brotherhood had created Voporak, a being capable of sensing fluctuations in the fabric of time, Mersery was elected to undergo a similar experiment so the Order would have a being able to track the Kanohi Vahi if it ever came into existance. The project worked, though the Order reframed from preforming the experiment again, as Mersery was initially unable to contain his powers, forcing him to wear specialized armor.

War against the Brotherhood of Makuta
During the Order's struggle against the Brotherhood of Makuta, Mersery was sent back to his homeland on the Order of Mata Nui's behalf to make negotiations with his kind's ruler in hopes of gaining the Mersions' trust, and making an alliance with them. Though reluctant at first, the Mersion ruler's respect for Mersery ultimatly led him to accept.

Mersery later aided several other Order members in their missions. Among them were helping Botar's replacement plant and explosive device on the ilse of Artidax, aiding Toa Helryx and Keetongu drive Brotherhood forces away from Nynrah, and overseeing an assault on Destral.

His currently location is unknown.

Abilities & Traits
Highly intellegent and wise, Mersery often acts as a mentor for new Order recruits. He tends to remain calm even in dire situations, as he believes someone should alway keep a level head.

While wise and experianced, Mersery has always wished for great power, as he believes such power could be used for great purposes; though his desire for such power often causes him to worry that he would allow that power to consume and corrupt him, as it had many others over the centuries. This has led him to doubt himself in the past, something that constently worries his friends.

Mersery is a skilled scientist and scholar, though is also an expert sword fighter. Like others of his species, Mersery possesses keen night vision, and has the ability to manipulate the elements of the enviornment around him to a limited extend (i.e. He can manipulate plant life while in a jungle or forest-based enviornment). He also wields powerful telepathic and telekinetic powers.

Due to the experiments preformed on him by the Order, Mersery possesses limited power over the element of Time. Initially, Mersery was unable to control this power, though special armor provided by Artakha has allowed Mersery to contain and master his power over time. Although Mersery's Time powers don't have as wide a range as Toa Akatark's, he can preform very powerful feats, such as focusing chronal energy into focused energy beams, allowing him to age or de-age beings or objects. He can also sense fluctuations in the fabric of time, allowing him to track time-based energies (like those produced by the Vahi).

It is likly Mersery possesses even more abilities, though whatever they may be is unknown.

Mask & Tools
Mersery wears the Kanohi Makita, the Great Mask of Shape-Shifting. His primary tool is a staff that is infused with the powers of shadow, lightning, and plasma, which can also be used to focus his own abilities. He also carries a Midak Skyblaster.
