Dakatar

Dakatar was an executioner for the Order of Mata Nui.

While Tobduk and others were expert killers in the field, it was proven to be quite useful to have an executioner stationed at headquarters. So, while many OOMN members are sent out on various missions, Dakatar remains on Daxia, waiting for the next Dark Hunter, Brotherhood spy, or other rampant criminal to be brought in.

Prior to his recruitment into the Order, Dakatar lived on Xia. He was a small-time inventor who excelled in weapons development and testing, similar to most of his race. Perhaps his best invention was an armor plating system that utilized a kind of protodermis fiber construct ("protofiber"), which if elementally charged, could channel a certain type of elemental energy. Dakatar eventually created a full set of this armor for himself, integrating throughout it a set of protofibers containing an elemental plasma charge. At one point, Dakatar mistakenly used his armor to stop a rival's sabotage attempt. After keeping the incident secret, he soon decided to deal with other attacks in the same manner. Dakatar found that he quite liked killing these spies and thieves, and eventually the Order contacted him for his talent and willingness to murder.

Unlike a conventional executioner, Dakatar forgoes a traditional weapon such as an axe in favor of the swiftly destuctive power of his armor. It holds elemental plasma power, which can be used to create, control, and absorb plasma. Similarly to how a Toa's own elemental power must recharge, Dakatar's armor needs time to charge as well; another limitation is that the armor is prone to overheating if used too much in a short enough span of time.

Dakatar has set aside inventing in favor of execution, though he occasionally tinkers with Tabimir 's robots (much to the latter's chagrin). Dakatar takes pride in his work, and could be considered slightly sadistic.
