Karabak

Karabak was an extremly dangerous Makuta.

History
Like all memebrs of the Makuta species, Karabak was created as he emurged from the Makuta Pool. The Makuta saw themselves as the Matoran Universe's supreme life forms and when Mata Nui created the Matoran on Artakha it was Karabak who rebelled before any other Makuta formed an opinion. The travelled to Artakha and started killing any Matoran he could find until he was stopped by a Toa of Light. The other Makuta were ashamed at him for rebelling and this influenced them to stay under Mata Nui's influence until Teridax later rebelled.

Imprisonment
Following his defeat, the Mata Nui robot headed straight back to Spherus Magna, which was now Bara Magna, then had him blasted from the robot to the surface of the planet. Mata Nui then sent the same Toa of Light to ensure he was trapped beneath six golden trophies, which served as the bars of his cell and, as long as they they stood unbroken he remained trapped.

Rotam
"If Karabak the traitor you seek, Venture not up any mountain peak, For on the planet of falling angels, In the abyss of death and the pit of all hells, Two trophies of the finest gold, Unlock the tomb of centuries old, Be wary of the world brave traveller, If you dare, journey to Bara Magna..."

- A riddle that caused Rotam to journey to Bara Magna in search of someone.

Recently, Maktua Rotam travelled to Bara Magna, upon the destruction of the Matoran Universe, to find Karabak and rule the Universe with him.

Shadow Play Alternate Universe
In the Shadow Play alternate future, Karabak was mentioned as a threat to Rotam's empire. Whether or not he has a greater involvement is yet to be known.

Official M1 Description
Karabak... the ultimate villain, one of the most powerful Makuta of all time, the spawn of evil that was planted in Teridax's mind. When Mata Nui said 'let there be light' Karabak was the on who said 'say please.' After being imprisoned on Bara Magna for centuries he plotted and thought of hundreds of ways to destroy Mata Nui but over the years he designed a scheme that put Teridax's plan to shame. He's big, he's bad, and he's back...
