Tahu (Generation 2)

Tahu, the Master of Fire is one of the six elemental Masters that were foretold in the Prophecy of Heroes.

History
Tahu, along with the rest of the Toa, were summoned to Okoto by the Protectors when they recited the Prophecy of Heroes in the Temple of Time. Tahu fell from the sky and crashed on Okoto. Narmoto, the Protector of Fire and several local villagers, went to the crash-site, where the Toa stepped out of the flame. In the crash Tahu had forgotten his identity and past. The Protector told him of his the Skull Spiders and his destiny to defeat them and bring balance to the land. As they conversed, Skull Spiders attacked them, and Tahu accidentally defeated them, inspiring awe in the villagers.

Narmoto told him there was no time to waste, and they quickly departed in search of the Golden Mask of Fire. They traveled through Okoto for weeks, fighting off Skull Spiders and avoiding natural dangers in the Region of Fire. During that time the Protector told him of Ekimu and Makuta, and their fall. He also told the Toa of They eventually arrived at the three greatest volcanoes on Okoto; and also the most dangerous. With the Protector on his back, they climbed the extremely steep staircase up to an entrance in the greatest of these three volcanoes. They arrived on a platform and began to walk towards the entrance when hundreds of Skull Spiders attacked them.

Narmoto used his Fire Blaster to clear the entrance to the shrine and they ran in. Narmoto told him there was no time and Tahu used his Lava Surfboard and jumped down into the lava. He surfed towards the Golden Mask that was sitting on a shrine in the center of the volcano and grabbed it. He put it on at the same time as the other five heroes across Okoto and elemental energy filled his body.

The Protector was overwhelmed by the Spiders and Tahu saved the Protector from the Spiders, completely obliterating them. They left the volcano and Tahu got a vision from a mysterious being, showing an ancient and abandoned city. Narmoto told him that the vision was from Ekimu, the Mask Maker, and that he needed to leave for the City of the Mask Makers to find the Mask Maker and reclaim the Mask of Creation. Tahu asked if he had to go on this quest alone, and Narmoto told him of the other five heroes, and that together, they would defeat the evil that lurked in the city. Tahu left the Protector in search of the legendary Ekimu.
