Gesikk

Gesikk was a wandering male Toa of Air and member of the Patriots in the Remains Alternate Universe.

Early Life
Similarly to most other Toa of Air, Gesikk began his life on Spherus Magna, where he aided in the construction of the Matoran Universe. He would later be placed within the Matoran Universe in the Southern Island Chain, along with a large population of other Matoran.

Southern Island Chain
Whilst in his village, Gesikk took up a profession in electricity production, working hard to provide natural energy resources with which to power a local Matoran Recharging Center. He had considerable competition with a Ta-Matoran named Balta in this field, who had a superior understanding of structural engineering and construction.

Unfortunately, Balta sustained a life-threatening injury when one of his inventions ignited and exploded, causing him considerable damage to his inner mechanics. The Ta-Matoran was sent to Karzahni in desperate hope of attaining medical treatment that would have been considered experimental at the time.

As Balta was Gesikk's main business rival, however, it became popular belief that he had sabotaged the Ta-Matoran's invention in order to eliminate the competition. Despite of the fact that there was no evidence to support this argument - such as the fact that Gesikk had no knowledge of Balta's workshop - the Le-Matoran was wrongly exiled from the island under suspicion of indirectly causing the injury.

Around 300 years ago, during the Brotherhood of Makuta's purging of the Toa of Iron and Toa of Magnetism, Gesikk was approached by a wounded Toa of Iron being pursued by Makuta Vamprah. Desperate to escape capture, the Toa passed a Toa Stone on to the Le-Matoran in the hopes that the Makuta would show sympathy for a Turaga of Iron. Gesikk traveled to the local Toa Suva, where he met four other Matoran. Placing their Toa Stones in their respective slots in the Suva, they were coated with an energy which transformed them into Toa.

Life as a Toa
Under unclear circumstances, Gesikk began to distance himself from his Toa team after an internal leadership crisis over two competing teammates tore the group apart.

Whilst traveling alone, Gesikk learned to master his Elemental Powers and learnt to effectively use his Kanohi Ruru to blind opponents in battle.

Patriots
More recently, Gesikk traveled to Balfe Nui, where he learnt of the Forgotten Warriors and the infectious disease that they carried. Fearful for his life and in need of protection, he left a distress note outside a local settlement in the hopes that he would be rescued.



After spending a considerable period of time out in the open, Gesikk made contact with Toa Theran, Range, Merall, Brorag, Andron and Pirai, several members of the Patriots, a group of Elite Toa. Irritated by the fact that he did not appear to be in any immediate danger, the Toa bickered before offering Gesikk the chance to join them in their battle against Nuva. However, shortly afterwards, the group was swiftly ambushed by three advanced Undead soldiers. As Gresikk was injured during the conflict and the Toa were stunned by the Undead Warriors' ability to speak, Andron was captured and knocked unconscious. Fearing that his team would be overpowered by their enemies, Theran ordered a tactical retreat, leaving both Andron and Gesikk in the hands of the Undead. Fortunately, Range defied these orders and went back to save Gesikk, later meeting up with the group once again.

Abilities and Traits
Similarly to all other Le-Matoran, Gesikk would have possessed a minuscule degree of control over the Element of Air, though he could not access Elemental Powers or utilize a Great Kanohi.

Upon becoming a Toa he was able to create, absorb and manipulate air currents to his will. Additionally, he was granted the ability to use his Mask of Night Vision.

Mask and Tools
Gesikk wore a Great Mask of Night Vision, which enabled him to create a beam of light from his Kanohi to illuminate darkness. Gesikk was also capable of using his Ruru to blind an opponent during battle.

Additionally, he wielded a Fang Spear, which he could use as a throwing spear, or to channel his Elemental Powers through.
