Santis

"I don’t think much of your welcoming comity... I was expecting a parade."

- Toa Santis' first words to Torlo, Whispers in the Dark

Santis was a mysterious, dimensionally-displaced Toa of Fire who currently resides in the Fractures Universe.

Early Life
While large areas of Santis' past remain largely unclear given the nature of his amnesia, he presumably came into being on Spherus Magna, where he was likely to have aided in the construction of the Matoran Universe. If this was the case, then we would later be placed within the Matoran Universe on an unknown island, possibly with a population of other Matoran.

Under unclear circumstances, Santis was transformed into a Toa of Fire.

Dimensional Displacement
At some point in his life - seemingly as a Toa - Santis was given the technology to travel between dimensions.

Some time after this, the Toa of Fire must have encountered a Toa Kaita as it is considerably likely that he stole his Kanohi from it because he currently wears the Kaita's Kanohi Danju, which is likely a victory prize. However, as a Danju can only remain formed if the Kaita is still in existence, Santis would have had to leave the Toa Kaita he looted the Kanohi from in stasis to prevent it from defusing

Additionally, as the words "kill Tollubo" are two of the only words he can remember from his past, it is considerably likely that he met the Tryna-wearer when he was still an Av-Matoran, which suggests he visited the Deserts of Death universe at some point. This also suggests that "killing" was also a notable part of Santis' life, indicating he may not necessarily have lived a peaceful life and may in fact have been involved with the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Fractures Universe
"You're on Voya-Nui... or at least what's left of it." "Ah! That's good! So I take it I'm in the right giant metal robot?"

- One of Toa Santis' brief references to his dimensional displacement, Whispers in the Dark.

Under unclear circumstances, Santis recently emerged from a portal in the western portion of Voya-Nui in the Fractures Universe. However, his dimensional voyage left him confused and disorientated, resulting in him losing his memory and unable to recall his own name without tremendous effort. Shortly after this, Santis conveniently acquired a sword, a knife, and a cape, which he donned and used to confront a Visorak Roporak, saving the life of a Le-Matoran named Torlo in the process. The Toa the escorted the Matoran back to his village only to find the settlement was under seige by wild Rahkshi and Visorak. Santis swiftly engaged a Visorak Vohtarak in battle then proceeded to battle of Rahkshi of Plasma. Both skirmishes resulted in him using his Heat Vision and Plasma capabilities, which scared the other Rahkshi and Visroak attackers, causing them to retreat. Santis was then credited with the honor of being the village hero.

Abilities and Traits
Being a Toa of Fire, Santis was able to manipulate, control, and absorb Fire and heat energy. However, Santis also had access to limited Heat Vision and Plasma capabilities. Though a reason for this is yet to be revealed, it is likely that his abnormal capabilities could be the result of experimentation, which could also account for his memory loss.

Mask and Tools
"As he raised his sword a jet of flame erupted from the tip of the blade, blasting the Roporak with nothing short of pure fiery energy. The creature screamed one final time as it was torn apart by the ball of fire and engulfed by the heat. The spider-like abomination was incinerated on the spot: not even ashes were left to mark the brown creature’s passing."

Until his arrival in the Fractures Universe, Santis did no wield any weapons. Fortunately, he donned a Toa Tool - which was shaped like a flame - and a knife, both of which he found in the Voya-Nui bog-land. Currently, Santis wears a Great Danju, though the circumstances regarding how he acquired it remain vague and unclear.

Quotes
"If I wanted to harm you I could have done so already, with far less effort than it would take to raise this sword."
