Iyre (Redemption Universe)

 Scroxx : "I saw your latest piece of work a few months back. Head-on. " Iyre : "Oh, it's you. You're here to gloat?" Scroxx : "No. I know what brought you here. I'm here to set you free. On one small condition." - Scroxx and Iyre, the founding of the Deus Ex Machina.

Iyre is a renowned De-Matoran engineer and scientist actually leading the northern town of Scara's Glory, and the majority of its fully-mechanized army, the Deus Ex Machina.

Creation and Life in Metru-Nui
Roughly 100 000 years ago, the Great Beings began the planification of the Great Spirit's Robot on Spherus Magna, and built tiny workers out of Protodermis, altogether similar but different on an individual scale, the Matoran, to construct the machine. Afterward, most of the Matoran emigrated inside the Matoran Universe, and Iyre found himself in the City of Legends, Metru Nui. He settled in Ta-Metru, and worked there as an inventor, where he even worked on transport projects tested by Matau himself.

During the Great Cataclysm, Iyre found himself in the same boat as other Matoran, being inserted in Matoran Sphere along hundreds of fellow Metru Nui inhabitants, where his physical form was decreased and weakened. He awakened again, amnesic, on the island of Mata Nui, with Turaga guiding him and his friends around.

Life on Mata Nui
Iyre subconsciously went back to a familiar activity when he went to live in Onu-Koro and invented useful machinery with his friends Onepu and Nuparu. Iyre witnessed and lived through the Infected Rahi's attack on his village, where he and his companions trapped the rampaging beasts in a landslide, their weapons seemingly ineffective.

Later on, Iyre witnessed the birth of legends as the Toa Mata appeared on his island. He witnessed most of their most glorious feats, including the Quest for the Masks, the containment of the Bohrok Swarm, the battling with Rahkshis and the Seventh Toa's arrival, and Mata Nui's awakening. The Turaga then announced the time had come for the Matoran's return to the City of Legends, and so Iyre followed. Somewhere during the reclamation, however, he left his fellow Matoran for unknown reasons, and departed Metru Nui.

There and Back Again
Iyre had a number of adventures until he reappeared as a travelling inventor, faring from island to island dispensing his good services to people capable of paying him. Eventually, Iyre had explored most (if not all) of the Matoran Universe, and felt that an homecoming was inevitable. He travelled back to Metru-Nui, where he found a job in Onu Metru's biggest mining corporation.
