Leoger

"I am glad he has been banished from this island now, the terror he brought upon this island could have really damaged my customer flow."

- Leoger to Maroona about "Sunder"'s banishment, Against the Storm Leoger was a male Vo-Matoran who lived on Powai Nui. He was a high-ranking member of the Thunderhead Union, and the founder and founder of a popular marketplace on the island called The Sprite Market.

Early History
As Matoran, Toa and Turaga of Lightning are programmed to be female, Leoger was created through an error in the Matoran-creating device. As with other Matoran, he assisted in the creation of the Matoran Universe. He was then placed on Powai Nui and settled in Vo-Powai.

Finding his place in to be in the world of trade, Leoger built and opened a market place he called "The Sprite Market." At first, very few Matoran traders set up in the place, and Leoger struggled financially in the aggressive, competitive and near-lawless world of Vo-Powaian trade. The main deterrent to traders was that it was the high market tax which market stall-holders needed to pay him. He found the Thunderhead Union, an alliance of those in the business of trade and commerce who gave each other financial support, advice and assistance. After joining it, he was told to advertise The Sprite Market by sparking conversation about it and convincing stall-holders to tell others about it. After this, the number of stall-holders began to increase, and thus Leoger earned more revenue.

After centuries of increasing success and earned skill in trade and finance, Leoger was appointed the Secretary of the Thunderhead Union, and assisted it's Chairwoman Koura in maintaining the union. This gave him more success as more and more Matoran saw him as a competent and level-headed individual. When the Powai Nui Governing Coalition was formed, and the Thunderhead Union became a part of it, Leoger was appointed the Head of Trade over all of Powai Nui. This caused The Sprite Market to skyrocket in popularity, and within several years he built two other marketplaces of the same name.

Against the Storm
When the exiled Great Being Jayniss found himself on Powai Nui while escaping Dark Hunters, Leoger took an interest in the case. Seeing that Jayniss tended to hide near his marketplaces, Leoger sensed that his business was in danger. When reports of Jayniss being chased through Vo-Powai by firearm-wielding assailants sprung up, Leoger volunteered to assist Toa of Lightning Maroona in recording her confronting Jayniss' pursuers and ending the chaos. Maroona confronted the Dark Hunter "Sunder" and used the Staff of Vortices to banish him to an unknown location. However, Jayniss left the area without his staff using it's powers telepathically, and Maroona put it into the hands of the KCO. Feeling that his business was no longer at stake, Leoger resumed his profession.

Appearance
As with many Vo-Matoran, Leoger's armor was colored white and blue.

Powers and Equipment
As a Vo-Matoran, Leoger had inactive powers over the element of Lightning. This manifested as an increased resistance to electrical shocks. He wore a powerless Kanohi Elda.

Personality
Although he purposefully gives others the impression that he is caring of others, Leoger seems to care more about revenue and money more than anything else. As a veteran of what was near-literally a financial war in the early days of Vo-Powai and it's economy, Leoger always seems unwilling to trust others until they have implicitly proved to him that they can be trusted.

Trivia

 * Leoger's name is derived from an acronym used to memorize the mildly confusing terms for when atoms gain or lose electrons: "Losing Electrons is Oxidization, Gaining Electrons if Reduction."
 * Leoger was inspired by a character from an earlier version of Against the Storm, a male Vo-Matoran whose named sounded like "Vulture" and who would've been Lewok's clingy manager as a Matoran.
