Hendrax

Hendrax was a Toa of Light, Combat Master, former King of Dracia, as well as one of the founders of the former Planetary Alliance before it collapsed after the Fall of Dracia.

Alongside Filius, Hendrax was one of the first of Toa to come into existence, having been created by Kronos with the purpose of keeping the peace and safeguarding the civillians of Infina Magna. Early in his life, he was trained to become a Combat Master by one of the two first Combat Masters, Titanus, and quickly graduated to become foundational member, alongside Filius and Acritus, of the Combat Masters' League. When Titanus presented his plans to gain control over the Six Holy Elements to the rest of the league, he first confided these plans in his former apprentice. Hendrax, hearing Titanus' conviction that the universe would befall a great disaster should the Six Holy Elements remain locked away, was sceptical but retained an open mind about his former master's idea. When Titanus presented it to the League's Council, however, Filius stood up to the Infinus of Darkness, and stated that Titanus would betray the will of Kronos should he do so. When a fight nearly broke out when Filius intervened during a private meeting between Titanus and Hendrax, Hendrax inevitably sided with the Toa of Gravity. In the ensuing second round of voting, Titanus and his aides turned up with an army of angry beings loyal to them and their cause, laying waste to the Temple that formerly housed the League and sparking a civil war in the process. At the end of this war, Hendrax, Filius and Sol, an Infinus of Light who had defected from Titanus' side, confronted Titanus in his headquarters at the Sacred Citadel. Attempting to open the mirror to Infinity and release the Six Holy Elements, Titanus' plan horribly backfired, with Kronos emerging and banishing the Infinus of Darkness to the Realm of Nothingness in a Space-Time cage.

In the aftermath of the war, Hendrax, Filius and Acritus were ordered to assemble the remainder of the population of the war-torn planet, and to aid them in what became known as the Great Migration, moving them from the planet of Infina Magna towards the Realm of Light, where the populations would slowly spread out. On Infina Magna, Terrax agreed to remain behind to serve Kronos directly, alongside a selected few Infinus who had remained neutral over the course of the war. Shortly after the Migration, Infina Magna and the gate towards it disappeared, and the Combat Masters' League was tasked with the mission of populating the Realm of Light. They did so valiantly, with the populations being spread out across Dracia, Azzilat and Estron initially, before a further expansion to Kubran and Moni occurred. Hendrax, one of the main leaders, chose to stay behind in Dracia, where he founded the Kingdom of Dracia, becoming its king. He founded the Planetary Alliance shortly afterwards. When his apprentice, Zirix, betrayed him, however, Hendrax disappeared alongside the planet of Dracia.

It is unknown what has happened to him since.

Early Life
"It should be duly noted, Filius and Acritus, that the League was not founded to serve any political purpose. Kronos ordered us to keep the peace, not obey some nitwit's political aspirations. Whether or not this nitwit is likely to be an Order member or not, I do not care. My stance is clear; the League should remain outside of the realm of the political. We are peacekeepers and guardians of universal stability, not a police force or army."

In the aftermath of the First Great Infinus War, Kronos made the decision to create a new species that would serve to safeguard the Infinus while they proceeded their process of creation in peace, quietly and away from one another. This species became the Toa, with their pre-Toa form becoming the Matoran, and their elderly form becoming the Turaga. The first Toa, being Hendrax, Filius and Acritus were quickly trained in the arts of Combat by the Combat Masters Terrax and Titanus, with Terrax training Acritus and Filius, while Titanus undertook it to train Hendrax. In the aftermath of their training, the five Combat Masters were ordered by Kronos to found an organisation, the Combat Masters' League, which would serve as a peacekeeping organisation dedicated to protecting and preserving stability in the universe.

Setting up their main base in Hava Infina, the city where the Order of the Infinus also settled, the League and the Order soon became very close collaborators in orchestrating Infinian politics. As a result of this collaboration, the League quickly outgrew its initial aspirations of being a purely peacekeeping organisation, becoming a political organisation in the process. Besides Titanus, Hendrax was a vocal critic of this shift of focus from purely peacekeeping to daily management and politics. This opposition towards political involvement for the League created a rift between its leadership. On one hand, Acritus and Filius were staunchly pro-cooperation while, on the other hand, Titanus and Hendrax remained vocally anti-cooperation. When the vote appeared before the Council, it narrowly got through when Terrax decided to vote for the proposal, despite some objections of his.

In the ensuing period following the agreement, the Combat Masters' League gained a lage amount of political and military power as a result of a growth in membership rates. The Council grew from five members to seven members, with Titanus' former apprentice, Velnax, and Acidius, Titanus' half-brother, becoming the last two additions to the Council.

Second Great Infinus War
With the political powers of the Combat Masters' League growing at an ever faster rate, Hendrax was alarmed. Criticisms aimed at the League often cited its undemocratic nature and the fact that it was such a secretive organisation to non-members as being fundamentally against the nature of Infinian society. Others believed that the Combat Masters' League, being based in Hava Infina, was an inherently pro-Hava Infina organisation, leading to criticisms that its leadership almost all came from Hava Infina and not from regional cities like Ksita, Hava Dersa and Kronia, all of which were important regional cities in their own right.

Always having been critical of the political nature of the organisation, Titanus proposed during a joint session of the Councils of the Combat Masters' League and Order of the Infinus that the two organisations become more regional and representative as a reflection of the true nature of Infinian society. While half the members of the Combat Masters' Council, including, amongst others, Hendrax, Acidius and Velnax voted for the change, an overwhelming majority of the Order of the Infinus Council voted against, with Kirina, President of the Order citing the major crisis that would erupt if the League would not remain a centralised organisation. With the veto coming from both the Order and the League's leaders, the vote and the joint session were dismissed for the next time.

Before the League's Council would assemble on its own again, Titanus called up Hendrax to visit him late one night. Once having come over to his friend's and former master's house, Hendrax asked the Infinus what was wrong. There, the Infinus explained to Hendrax that he had had a terrible vision of the future. He explained that, in his vision, he saw how the Six Holy Elements would eventually break free from the barriers between the Realms Kronos had created, to freely wreck havoc on the universe once more, destroying everything in their pathway. The only way, Titanus believed, to prevent this catastrophic event from happening, was for one single being controlling all Six Holy Elements to alter the course of the future so that it would not happen. Hendrax, between scepticism and worry, told his friend to formulate a plan on the basis of it, before heading back home, still worried by what he had heard.

The next day, when the League's Council assembled on its own, Titanus presented to it a plan; overthrow the Order of the Infinus' undemocratic rule of society, install themselves as benevolent kings of the various cities, with the cities having their own elected management, and search for the Mirror to Infinity to unlock the powers of Infinity and warn Kronos about it. When hearing the plan, the enraged Filius accused Titanus of seeking betrayal against the law and order that they had worked so very hard to establish. Before being able to explain himself, the Infinus of Darkness was scoffed at by the Toa of Gravity. In the ensuing vote, Acidius, Velnax and Titanus voted for the Infinus of Darkness' proposal, while Filius, Acritus and Terrax voted against. Hendrax, still unconvinced by either side, asked for the Council to go home and reconvene the next day.

That evening, Titanus confronted Hendrax and Terrax, asking the two for help. While Terrax was largely unconvinced by the Infinus of Darkness' ideas to overthrow the Order, Hendrax was willing to listen. When Filius overheard the conversation between the three, however, he jumped in and once again accused the Infinus of Darkness of hideous betrayal. Angered, the Infinus of Darkness unsheathed his sword and started brutally attacking the Toa of Gravity in what seemed a battle of the wills. Hendrax and Terrax, forced to restrain both the warriors, ordered the two apart. When the Council convened the next day, Titanus' and Filius' votes were disqualified due to the events the previous day, and Hendrax, still left to choose, finally made the choice to vote against the idea, citing his inability to support Titanus if the latter were to remain so violent against those who disagreed with him.
