Hukan

"I may not be the most intelligent of Toa, but something tells me that we're probably not going to survive this; and if we do, our lives will never be the same." --Hukan, Hashta's Chronicle

Hukan is a Toa of Psionics (formerly a Toa of Earth), well known for his loyalty and bravery. He is one of the few protectors of Mya Nui, an island used as a foothold between Metru Nui and Karda Nui for transporting vital supplies. He signifies Destiny, while his brothers Defylak and Verrak represent Unity and Duty, respectively.

Backstory
In his earlier years, Hukan was employed as an Onu-Matoran archivist in a pre-cataclysm Metru Nui. Two of his good friends were a Le-Matoran explorer by the name of Defylak and a Ta-Matoran mask maker named Verrak. They lived there happily until the Great Cataclysm, during which Hukan brought Defylak and Verrak, along with about ten other Matoran, into a safe area, below even the sub-levels of the Archives. There Hukan and his friends planned a way to save the rest of Metru Nui's residents.

They thought and rethought their plan, compensating for problems overlooked before a Ce-Matoran named Hashta scouted above ground. Once they heard of the Toa Metru, Hukan decided it was time to act. The band of Matoran had barely made it above ground before they were captured by Krekka and Nidhiki. They were thrown in not-stasus canisters to be transported to the Coliseum. But Vakama and the Toa Metru rescued them and told them to go back to the Archives and take refuge.

Hukan and his brave team of Matoran (which by that time consisted of fifteen) waited back in the safe area of the Archives until the Toa Metru returned, ready to transport the Matoran to Mata Nui. This was after the Toa Metru had been returned to their non-Hordika state. Once on Mata Nui, Hukan and his friends helped to build everything necessary for living on the island with the others, who had lost their memory as a cause of being placed inside the canisters.

But only a year after living on the island of Mata Nui, Hukan, along with hundreds of other Matoran, mysteriously disappeared. They were taken to the ancient and gigantic island of Mya Nui, where they found that it was inhabited by millions of other Matoran. They had no memory of being transported there, and thus had no idea as to where they were. The island elder, Turaga Dwaal, told them the reason for their being taken there. Three Matoran in Hukan's band were prophecied to transform into the most powerful Toa ever to exist, who were destined to protect the island from many threats.

No one knew as of then which three were to be transformed. Some years later, when Makuta Teridax attacked both Mata Nui and Mya Nui with infected Rahi, Hukan, Defylak, and Verrak fled, searching for somewhere safe to hide. They discovered a millenia-old structure, half sunken into the Ga-Mya bog (a vast swamp stretching over thousands and thousands of square kio). When Hukan and his two friends entered, they found a suva, covered in plant life and grime. On closer examination, Hukan concluded that it was a Toa suva; and just as he uttered those two words, he, Defylak, and Verrak were struck by lightning originating from the suva, and were transformed into Toa, fulfilling the prophecy.

Hukan and his two friends (now brothers) fought the Rahi until they mysteriously disappeared (when the Toa Mata defeated Makuta Teridax). And Hukan, Defylak, and Verrak have been protecting the island ever since.
