Orek

Orek is the general of one of Zakaz's prime warlords.

Biography
Orek, along with all other Skakdi, existed peacefully with other species until the arrival of Makuta Spiriah. As a result of the Makuta's experiments to give them powers, Nektann was granted elemental control of Water, a vision power, and an individual ability. Corrupted by their newfound powers, the Skakdi became a violent, destructive race. Orek proceeded to use his powers to develop a nasty reputation among the natives of Zakaz before becoming a high-ranking soldier of a tribe under the command of a female Skakdi warlord.

Some time after this, the warlord's general, Osbek, attempted to betray her to a rival war leader known as Nektann. Due to Orek's actions, however, Osbek was exposed and punished for his crimes. In recognition of his deeds, Orek was promoted to the rank of general, leading the warlord's soldiers at her side.

More recently, two Toa,Hydros and Kazepza arrived on Zakaz. Deciding to aprehend them, Orek ambushed the Toa, first quietly abducting Kazepza before blasting Hydros with a burst of plasma. The Skakdi finished the male Toa with a blow to the head, knocking him out. Orek proceeded to take the intruders back to a stronghold where he had two other soldiers bind them in chains and placed under guard while he went to fetch the tribe's leader.

By the time he returned the Toa had awakend. Orek introduced himself and told the Toa why they had been captured before introducing them to his leader.

Abilities & Traits
Crafty and vicious, Orek is a strong and powerful warrior. He is known across Zakaz as a force to be reckoned with and knows how to make others suffer. A master of the blade, Orek is known to often use only his wit and blade to devistate his foes. Despite these traits, however, he is remarably loyal to his tribe's leader and will usually do as he is told without question.

Orek possesses elemental Plasma powers that are usually only accessible by combining them with the powers of another Skakdi, though his Blazestorm Sword allows him to bypass this weakness. In addition, he wields paralysis vision that can render a foe helpless, the length of time the opponent is paraylized depending on the intencity of the blast, as well as the ability to become virtually invulnurable to physical damage or injury for a short period of time.

Tools
Orek's main weapon is his Blazestorm Sword, which allows him to access his elemental powers without combining them with another Skakdi's. He also uses a Protosteel Acid Blade which, as its name suggests, is a protosteel blade that can desolve most matter on contact through the use of a highly corrosive acid.
