Kivoda

Kivoda, the Protector of Water, was one of the six Protectors of Okoto, guarding the Region of Water.

History
Kivoda inherited the position of Protector from his father. He was told the Prophecy of Heroes, which the Protectors before him had learned from Ekimu, the Mask Maker, after his battle with Makuta, the Mask Hoarder, to be recited in times of peril.

Once the Skull Spiders began to attack Okoto, Kivoda and the other Protectors gathered in the Temple of Time, once the stars in the sky had aligned, they used the Mask of Time, as foretold by the Prophecy of Heroes. The six timeless heroes, the Toa, fell from the sky above Okoto to the island.

Kivoda and the local villagers went to the crash site, a crater in the ground, and found Gali, Master of Water, who had no memory of anything, or even who she was. Kivoda told her who she was and her destiny to defeat the Skull Spiders and awake the legendary Ekimu from his endless slumber.

The Protector guided Gali through the most dangerous parts of the Region to find the Golden Mask of Water, which was hidden far off in the sea. After weeks of searching, they came to the shrine that held the Mask. Once Gali had gone to retrieve the Mask, the Skull Spiders launched their attacks. Kivoda attempted to hold them off, but they quickly overpowered her. Gali used the Mask to defeat the Skull Spiders, saving the Protector.

Kivoda then told Gali that she needed to find the other Toa at the City of the Mask Makers to awake Ekimu. After Gali had left, he returned to his village, waiting for Ekimu to be awoken by the heroes.
