Gladius

"His name is Gladius, and if it weren't for Mata Nui, he'd be the most powerful living thing on this planet."

- Vorendon to Blackheart

Gladius is a Vorox champion and prime3 defender of the Norther Sand Tribe, despite being a Vorox, he possesses a more similar appearance to a Glatorian, and has not regressed into a beastlike creature.

Creation
Gladius was created 3000 years ago in a small hut in the Northern Sand Tribe as a young Vorox, much to the surprise of the rest of the tribe, he already seemed to possess a good level of mental abilities, being able to levitate himself and nearby objects, seemingly through a subconcsious act, as he didn't know he was doing such things. The tribe took him to the chief to figure out what to do, confused and afraid of such a strange and powerful case, the chief made a decision to leave him in the sands of the wasteland, where he might either find a way to his own safety or die at the hands of the sun (or any wandering predators).

Amazingly, Gladius managed to endure several years without any source of energy, surviving solely on his willpower alone
