Gribrak (Fractures Alternate Universe)

"I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter."

- Gribrak, Judgement Day.

Gribrak was a Steltian Trader who became a Dark Hunter then allied himself with the Toa Metru, in the Fractures Universe.

Early Life
Like all other members of his species, Gribrak came into being on Spherus Magna, where he was placed on Stelt and was given a somewhat significant position in his species' social system as the owner of a particularly large tavern on the Steltian coast.

Life on Stelt
However, Gribrak quickly became a rival of a powerful street gang. As his tavern was situated in a notably seedy area of Stelt, the business was prone to being threatened by a gang of Skakdi. Gribrak lost thousands of widgets to raids where Skakdi would march into the establishment with loaded weapons and demand money under threat of damaging the property. Fortunately, a Dark Hunter named "Nightmare" was present in the tavern on one such raid and witnessed two Skakdi bankrupting Gribrak. Having just completed a successful assassination, the Dark Hunter shadowed the two thugs out into the street and critically wounded both of them. However, as he was in a good mood, he then returned the stolen money to Gribrak and convinced the two defeated Skakdi that he was a member of a rival Skakdi gang. A week later, the two Skakdi gangs engaged each other in a shoot-out, resulting in both sides being completely wiped out due to the actions of "Nightmare". Inspired, Gribrak decided to train to become a Dark Hunter.

Life as a Dark Hunter
Seeing no future for himself on Stelt, Gribrak travelled to Odina and asked The Shadowed One for a place in the organization. The Shadowed One accepted him on the condition that he passed an entrance Arena Match against a Dark Hunter. Having trained in swordplay prior to his entry, Gribrak was able to overpower a Dark Hunter named "Terminator" and was given a place in the organization. Upon being integrated into the Dark Hunters, Gribrak was given the codename "Vertigo", which he would later abandon. To be Added

Abilities and Traits
Being a Steltian, Gribrak did not have access to Elemental Powers or the ability to use a Kanohi. However, he did have a considerable amount of strength and was well trained in most forms of physical hand-to-hand combat. In addition to this, Gribrak was also known to have a particular set of morals, preferring not to harm the likes of Matoran or Turaga with fiery determination.

Trivia

 * The name Gribrak was one of the first names that Matoro1 created for a creation and was originally going to be the name of a Toa of Air, one of his earliest creations. However, after this character was scrapped the name was passed down between his creations as it never seemed to truly fit any of them.
