Nepto

Nepto was a Le-Matoran who lived on Leskya Nui. When the island was destroyed, he escaped with some other Matoran to Powai Nui.

Early History
Nepto lived on Leskya Nui as a carpenter and woodcarver who carved and created furniture, tools, utensils and musical instruments from wood. When the Brotherhood of Makuta began attacking, s\he was one of the Matoran to begin fighting back alongside the Toa of the island.

Dirge
When the island was hit with a powerful weapon of mass destruction, Nepto escaped with two Toa and twenty other Matoran, and helped clean and repair the ship.

When his fellow Matoran and Toa arrived on Powai Nui, he joined the scouting missions, pairing up with another unnamed Matoran for a short time. Later, Nepto resigned from this and decided to help in construction, using his woodworking skills.

One day, while Vandir was visiting Hatar's side of the colony at Lake Faradi, Nepto's body was shaken by the disembodied spirit of Makuta Hysterix. He fell into the lake, sank to the bottom, and began drowning as his body became possessed by the entity. When Hatar went to rescue him, the possessed Matoran attacked him and began choking him. After Vandir intervened and brought both of them to the surface, Hysterix left Nepto's body.

Personality
Nepto has a creative mind, which he uses to his advantage. He can usually think himself out of a situation he doesn't want to be in, especially if he is supposed to be helping to accomplish something. Despite his self-serving personality, he still feels it is his obligation to carve wood creations for others. His mind and spirit are also weak, which allowed Hysterix to possess his body for a short while.

Powers and Equipment
As a Le-Matoran, Nepto possessed inactive powers over the element of Air, which manifested as increased agility. He wore a powerless version of an unknown Kanohi mask.

Previously, Nepto's only tools were various woodworking and carpentry tools such as blades, carvers, nails, and hammers. Later, during his short time as a scout, he acquired a blaster and a large scythe for self-defense. He still possesses these, even though he is not a scout anymore.
