Teridax (Bionicle Rescue Universe)

Teridax, also known simply as the Makuta, is a powerful being and former main antagonist of the Bionicle Rescue series. He was created by the Great Spirit Mata Nui in the early days of the Matoran Universe, but quickly turned against him, raising an army to submit the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe. After his initial defeat at the hands of the Origin Beings, he became a recurring enemy of the Bionicle Rescue guild.

Before his existence
The Great Beings prophecised his creation and eventual turn to evil. In order to stop him, they created the Origin Beings, six elite warriors whose combined powers were enough to rival his own.

Early Years
Teridax was created around 100,000 years prior to the beginning of the series by the Great Spirit Mata Nui in Karda Nui, where the population was residing while the Matoran Universe's creation. There, considering he was created to be the ruler of the Universe. To acheive this goal, he created other Makuta to serve him and raised an army consisting of thousands of creatures living i nthe Universe, and started a destructive war against the residents of Karda Nui, who refused to submit to him. Mata Nui tried to destroy him, but he was unable to do so because of the power he had given Teridax. Seeing his twisted creation about to win the war, he activated and sent the Origin Beings, Together, the six warriors gathered the inhabitants of Karda Nui and helped them organize into an army to fight Teridax.

After many unsuccessful attempts to stop the Origin Beings, Teridax decided to strike directly the freedom army, willing to crush the rebellion once and for all. He saw Toa Ignika fighting alone and engaged him in order to cripple the team. But it was a trap set by the Origin Beings, who attacked together and defeated Teridax while his army was decimated. Teridax's last desperate attack struck the Origin Beings and made them forget who they were. Too weak to keep fighting and seriously injured, he angrily admitted defeat and he and his Makuta retreated.

Teridax and the Makuta later moved to the Universe.

The birth of the Brotherhood.
Teridax, weakened by the fight, was unable to return himself, so he let the other Makuta pretend that he was dead. With Teridax serving as his general, he created the Brotherhood of Makuta, gathering all the obscure beings in the Universe who would side with him. His newly created army started raiding the new villages, disturbing the society the inhabitants had just created. An organization, the Hand of Arthaka, was created to fight the Brotherhood, but its members were ruthless and violents, even towards the ones they were supposed to protect. The organization was mysteriously wiped out, leaving the Brotherhood with no rival.
