Inferno (Splinters Alternate Universe)

"Inferno" was a prominent artist and scribe in the Matoran Universe, known for his works depicting the mythical hero Aranu.

History
When one asks Inferno about his early life, he gives no answers. Inferno is Inferno, essentially. However, what is known about Inferno is the fact that he started a career in painting and writing long before the war with the League of Six Kingdoms. Before he ever knew Aranu, he painted pieces on mysterious beings, one painting he admitted was an interpretation of Tren Krom.

Inferno claims that he personally knew Aranu. According to him, when he first meet Aranu, he became a close friend to the myth. He would meet with the hero occasionally and write down his tales, intrigued by the life of someone who had seen so much. Then, after years of writing, Inferno no longer saw Aranu; the hero had disappeared from his sight.

Inferno had continued to grow much fame for his paintings, being displayed even in Metru Nui's coliseum and being admired by Matoran, Makuta, Vortixx, and nearly all types of sentient beings in the Matoran Universe. His writings on Aranu, which he styled as epic poems, also became famous for being some of the most comprehensive sources on the mythical character, whether he was real or not.

Abilities and Traits
Inferno seems to wear a Great Kanohi on his face, though it is unknown if he actually can access it's power. What seems to be his greatest ability is being able to draw and write fascinating works.

Inferno's true identity seems shrouded; literally, he happens to wear a heavy cloak over his body at all times, though he readily reveals his arms and legs. Nobody can identify what exactly he is. Theories have gone around speculating him to be a Steltian or a Toa, but nothing is concrete. It seems that Inferno prefers that people do not know his identity regardless.

Trivia

 * The character was created by ToaKylerak, who intended him to be a secondary Self-MOC.
