Furtaan (Splinters Alternate Universe)

Furtaan was a Makuta from the island of Cartrax and a former member of the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Arise of Darkness
Not much is known about Furtaan's early history, but it is safe to presume that Furtaan was created from the Makuta Pool somewhere in the southern islands. He eventually became a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta and fought the Barraki during the Barraki-Makuta war.

During the war, Furtaan teamed up with Tagah and Gorast to capture Mantax, the most secretive of the Barraki, and ceased his fortress. Furtaan, along with his allies, were claimed as war heroes and went further into the ranks. However, after the defeat of Mantax, Furtaan began to experience strange visions.

The next assignment Furtaan took was with Tagah. They came to Xia in order to do business with the queen, but ended up breaking the law. Furtaan was captured by a Toa named Nakina, and was put in Xia's prison, where he was tortured. Eventually, Tagah released him, but this caused struggles in their relationship, and Furtaan abandoned Tagah and the Brotherhood.

The Chronicles of Fa
After assembling a Toa Hagah team, Furtaan recieved a vision that showed the dominance of the Makuta in a tyrannical way, using the Kanohi Karhi for an ultimate source of power. Furtaan was convinced that he needed to destroy the mask for good, but when explaining his plans to all of his allies, he hid this ambition.

He stowawayed on an undercover cargoship with his crew before they arrived on Karhi Nui. He stopped a fight between Nakina and Salis as they got into an arguement. Afterwords, they exited the destroyed ship and made camp in a hidden cave along the coast of Pilak Bay. There he met Fatorak, who was captured by Salis after searching for his weapon. He interrogated Fatorak twice, the second time telling Fatorak what was really going on, but also learning that Salis had fled from the team.

Having Fatorak as a new ally, he and his team followed the Po-Matoran chronicler into the desert of Po-Karhi, where they were struck by a sand-storm, leading Fatorak to be injured. Fatorak was eventually sent to a hospital in Po-Karhi, where the Matoran was watched by Nakina. However, Furtaan and Husli discovered that Salis destroyed the Hall of Chronicles, the place where Fatorak's works were stored. This led Furtaan to figure out that Salis's ambitions were also for the mask, and decided he needed to abandon his Toa team to fly him and Fatorak to Ko-Karhi in order to get to the mask first.

Personality and Traits
Furtaan can come across as an unpleasant sight at first glance, but at heart, Furtaan is actually a more kind Makuta, haunted by visions given to him by Mata Nui. The visions often lead his desicions to be based off of what he saw, which leads him to be a bit more pessimistic. If the visions are not apparent to him, Furtaan is more of a risk taker to make sure what he needs to be done gets completed.

Furtaan possesses a Kanohi Avsa, a Mask of Hunger, which allows him to absorb Toa Energy to inflict pain and injury on Toa. He used to possess the Staff of Fusion, but it was since stolen by a strange Toa of Fire.

Trivia

 * Furtaan's ability of having visions was actually added very late into the planning of The Chronicles of Fa. Originally, Furtaan was just supposed to get the mask in order to give it to the Order of Mata Nui, but BIONICLEToa felt it would be better if he had the urge to destroy it after having a vision of the Matoran Universe under the rule of Teridax.
 * As a result of being able to have visions, BT felt it made Furtaan more of a unique character, as Makuta are not known to have visions like Toa or Matoran or Turaga do.
 * Furtaan initially was going to be the villlain of The Chronicles of Fa, until CBW user BobtheDoctor27 suggested for him to be framed as a villain and that Salis would be the bad guy. BT loved this idea and rewrote The Chronicles of Fa to fit into the conflict between Salis and Furtaan.
