Gorast (Splinters Alternate Universe)

Gorast was a Makuta originally assigned to the Tren Krom Peninsula until she was relocated to Xia. She is also a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Early Life
Gorast was created 100,000 years ago in the Makuta Pool by Mata Nui. She immeditaly became part of the Brotherhood of Makuta, led under Miserix, and was tasked to create Rahi to populate the Matoran Universe.

After the Matoran Civil War, Gorast was assigned to the Tren Krom Peninsula, where she was feared by many matoran on the island. Like for numerous other Makuta, she was soon just called "the Makuta" out of fear from the Matoran. However, her loyalties did not change to the Brotherhood throughout the many struggles of the Matoran, especially with the uprising of the Barraki.

During the Barraki-Makuta war, Gorast, along with Tagah and Furtaan, to take down one of the leaders of the League of Six Kingdoms, Mantax. Gorast also participated in capturing Kalmah and Pridak. However, the failed leadership of Miserix after the Barraki assalt on Destral, she joined alongside Teridax to overthrow Miserix, leading Miserix to be murdered by Teridax.

The First Riegn of Shadows
However, as Gorast's loyalties to the Makuta increased, she soon began to uncover more and more of Teridax's plan. As the Makuta Empire was built, Gorast helped by campaining the empire throughout Xia, although Xia's loyalties did not change for a few centuries, as they were loyal to Barraki Pridak.

Eventually, Gorast lead the Vortixx Queen, Carika, to side with the Makuta Empire under certain conditions, which allowed them to increase in trade. However, as Carika was in Karhi Nui to negotiate with Tagah, Gorast left Xia to look more into Makuta's plan.

It was back to the Tren Krom peninsula when she discovered a tablet that described in detail how to take control of the Matoran Universe. She read on how it involved getting the trust of the people of the Matoran Universe, and then starting a Great Cataclysm to shut Mata Nui down. Afterwords, the Toa would restart Mata Nui after a battle with the Makuta, and the Makuta would be whiped out while Teridax would control the Mata Nui robot. Disgusted on how Teridax would follow such a plan and betray his own people, she decided she needed to stop it in order to save the Makuta.
