Autolycus (Fractures Alternate Universe)

Autolycus was a Matoran, then Toa of Sonics serving under the leadership of Toa Jovan, in Fractures Universe. Following the Great Disruption he became a Turaga of Sonics and the leader of Morica, an Order of Mata Nui stronghold which held the Kanohi Avohkii.

Early Life
Similarly to most other Toa of Sonics, Autolycus came into being as a De-Matoran on Spherus Magna, where he helped to construct the Matoran Universe. Eventually, he was placed in the village of De-Koro, on the Tren Krom Peninsula.

Whilst in his village, Autolycus acted as an assistant to a fellow De-Matoran scholar and developed an interest in literature as well as Matoran Mythology. It was around this time that his interest in the field led to his discovery of the Kanohi Ignika in ancient legend, igniting a desire within him to one day find the Kanohi and uncover its secrets.

Life as a Toa
Around 80,000 years ago, after the defeat of the League of the Six Kingdoms, Autolycus was approached by a Toa of Psionics who wished to retired from the field of war and gifted him with a Toa Stone, promising him a means to one day find the Ignika himself as a Toa. Tempted, Autolycus decided to use the Toa Stone in spite of the De-Matoran hostility towards having Toa in their village and transformed into a Toa of Sonics.

Autolycus traveled around the Tren Krom Peninsula, then later the Southern Continent in search of a Toa Suva only to be saved from a rogue Rahkshi of Molecular Disruption by the fabled Toa Jollun, a universal protector of Matoran and guardian of Mata Nui's interests. The mysterious Toa of Light took Autolycus' Toa Stone and absorbed the energy, before placing a hand on Autolycus and channeling it into him, transforming the De-Matoran into a Toa.

Unsure of the cryptic message that the fully-enlightened Toa Jollun had given him about his destiny, Autolycus traveled a portion of the Matoran Universe before meeting a group of elite Toa, composed of several members.

Great Disruption
Around 79,100 years ago, the Matoran Civil War in Metru Nui imperiled the health of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. To prevent his death, a Toa of Magnetism named Jovan joined Autolycus' team and led them to search for the Chamber of Life, located under Mount Valmai in the heart of the Southern Continent.

Fortunately, Autolycus was able to play a key part in this mission by using his knowledge of ancient legends involving the Mask of Life to direct them to the Ignika's location. The team then managed to successfully battle the various guards and traps leading to the chamber, and retrieved the Kanohi.

The group then managed to bring the mask to Karda Nui, where a male Toa reluctantly sacrificed his life to restore health to Mata Nui. After the Ignika's use resulted in the death of the Toa, the remaining members of the team returned the Ignika to the Chamber of Life and parted ways.

Alone once again, Autolycus made the decision to not sacrifice his Toa Power, sensing that he would one day have greater need of his energies and feeling that his special role in the universe was not yet complete.

Brotherhood Invasion
Due to the fact that Makuta Teridax never existed in the Fractures Universe, the Brotherhood of Makuta did not form The Plan and, instead of waiting for events to fall into place around the Great Cataclysm, accelerated their invasion of the Matoran Universe. Mata Nui still was able to safely land on Spherus Magna. By this point, the vast majority of the Matoran Universe's inhabitants were shown the existence of the Order of Mata Nui. Autolycus decided that his duties would be best carried out on the battlefield, becoming an agent of the Order.

War
Autolycus managed to survive the brunt of the War fighting on the front lines, where he became acquainted with Toa Velika. However, Autolycus was injured by an explosion, which severely burnt the entire left-half of his body and damaged his Kanohi.

Half deaf and unable to walk without assistance, the Toa decided that he had no choice but to become a Turaga after being rescued by Toa Gali.

However, during the events of the Final Push, Toa Takanuva was killed and his Kanohi Avohkii was smuggled back into the Order of Mata Nui's possession. As the organisation required a secret bunker with which to hide the coveted Kanohi, Autolycus was given the opportunity to oversee the Avohkii's protection, as the Order of Mata Nui had little use for their Turaga servants other than for tactical advise.

Along with Turaga Haru and Salaak, Autolycus established a system of government in the settlement and worked hard to ensure that the Matoran could live in peace whilst isolated from the War in the Nui Mountain Range.

Additionally, with Autolycus' approval, Toa Salu - one of the village's three guardians - named the fortress "Morcia", in honor of a fallen Toa. It was here that Autolycus was given a Fa-Matoran personal medic, named Pofia.

Zero Hour
However, several centuries later, a Brotherhood of Makuta strike team infiltrated the village in search of the Kanohi after its location was revealed by a captured Order of Mata Nui operative.

The actions of Turaga Autolycus during the Battle of Morica remain extremely unclear and, whether or not he was among the residents who survived will be revealed in Zero Hour later this year.
