Spiriah

Spiriah was the Makuta of Zakaz and a former member of the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Biography
Spiriah was created by Mata Nui alongside the other Makuta from a greenish-black liquid on an island in one the Southern Chains of the Matoran Universe. Alongside the rest of his species, he became a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta, an organization tasked with maintaining order and carrying out the will of Mata Nui.

Spiriah was responsible for the creation of several Rahi breeds to populate the Matoran Universe during this early period, keen to dabble with viruses and often known to get creative with genetic material. However, he never truly mastered the art of Rahi Creation and his produce often came out deformed.

After the Matoran Civil War, Spiriah was assigned to supervise the islands of Zakaz and Artidax by Makuta Miserix, who felt that the two islands were suitably undeveloped.

When Teridax demanded a Convocation to be held on Destral in order to reveal his plan and take over the Brotherhood, Spiriah was one of the final Makuta to side with Teridax and was later charged with executing Miserix alongside Krika. In secret, however, the two Makuta remained loyal to their old leader and facilitated his escape from the island, transporting him to Artidax in the hopes that Miserix would one day be able to return should Teridax disrupt the delicate balance of power in the Matoran Universe.

Like all other Makuta, Spiriah's Antidermis evolved to a gaseous virus-like state where he no longer required sleep or sustenance. Teridax ordered the Nynrah Ghosts to Destral to modify the Makuta's armor to accommodate this evolution. Around this point, Antroz was also known to have been assigned his own Toa Hagah team to act as a protective detail while he worked to supervise the island of Zakaz.

While he was tasked with ensuring the island's continued integrity, Spiriah came to see the potential to re-appropriate the Skakdi inhabitants of Zakaz as foot soldiers. Ignorant to their role in the island's maintenance, the Makuta began experimenting on the species, imbuing them with basic Elemental Powers, increased intelligence, and additional abilities, which usually manifesting themselves as vision-based powers. Fearful that he had accidentally accelerated evolution, the Makuta placed Visorak scouts and Nektann drones across the region before departing the island.

With the island plunging into a state of civil war and Skakdi managing to escape into the wider Matoran Universe, Spiriah's blunder came to cause disruption across the Matoran Universe, prompting his fellow Makuta to step in and quarantine the island, with only a handful of Skakdi slipping through the blockade. This experience resulted in Spiriah's exile from the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Forced to vacate his keep on Zakaz, Spiriah entreated Krika to claim ownership over Artidax in his stead, fearful that if another Makuta discovered the location of Miserix it would mean his execution. Shortly afterwards, Spiriah's Toa Hagah Team was disbanded and reassigned into the protective details of other Makuta.
