Genetically enhanced cyborg, one of the Kraahkan Triad, and a member of the Apex Dozen.
History[]
Cazzadath was once a minor member of the Brotherhood of Makuta; a quartermaster on one of their islands, dealing with the handing out of weaponry and testing new ones. He enjoyed his role as much as any Makuta could, although he was often considered to be unpleasant company due to his habit of not replying to conversations and maintaining an unsettling silence for long periods of time. When Teridax personally sought him and two other Makuta out to form the Kraahkan Triad, to test replicas of the Kraahkan (Spherus Imperus), he accepted without much enthusiasm, which was reflective of his attitude to much in his life.
Cazzadath was altered, along with the other two of the Kraahkan Triad, by Teridax many thousands of years prior in order to test the feasibility of mass-producing Kraahkans and Makuta to go with them. The Kraahkan replicas, however, took considerable energy and effort to create, and their defects resulted in the wearers being altered irreparably. Cazzadath was crippled physically by the onslaught of shadow energy, leaving him totally inert. Teridax, convinced that these Kraahkan prototypes could still be of considerable use, amputated Cazzadath's dysfunctional limbs and replaced them with cybernetic equivalents, with his entire exterior being totally technological. Two green power cores, fuelled by Teridax's very own essence (antidermis) kept his cybernetic body stable indefinitely.
In his new form, Cazzadath was nigh indestructible, and found his almost unmatched strength to be a great boon. Kortarex expressed interest in having Cazzadath for the Apex Dozen, and, as he was looking for opportunities to test his new abilities, he quickly accepted. He was soon put to work dealing with Onu-Wahi and Onua (Spherus Imperus), along with Vekl'Bel'Zzak. Cazzadath, rendered mostly mentally blank by the experiments from Teridax, was mostly immune to the effects of the psionic master, hence their pairing. Together, they proved a menace, and Cazzadath's greatest accomplishment was launching a successful assault on Onu-Koro, destroying much of the village and killing Turaga Whenua before being repelled.
He is currently awaiting further instructions from his superiors, and intends to return to Onu-Koro to finish the work he started, swearing a personal vendetta against Onua.
Tools and Abilities[]
Cazzadath was a nigh indestructible, unstoppable war machine whose sole purpose was to rend and destroy every shred of resistance in his path. His incredible strength allowed him to simply walk on (or, sometimes, through) any obstacle in front of him, and when given a goal he was notoriously difficult to repel. His raw strength, though not at the level of Onua, was still enough to overpower ten Toa and he could easily tear apart any material he came across. He was, however, very slow, as a consequence of his bulk and cybernetic enhancements, and this made him an easy target for anyone attacking at range.
He possessed control over the element of shadow, magnified a thousand fold via a combination of the Kraahkan and his Magnum Steel armour. Two Shadow Slingers, built into his body via the augmentation process, allowed him to discharge his shadow energies, creating a maelstrom of destructive energy which could obliterate any being not sufficiently protected. This was used to great effect to devastate entire housing segments of Onu-Koro. Though not of his own volition, he maintained strong mental barriers which weakened psionic effects on him severely.
Personality[]
Cazzadath was a single-minded individual, concentrating on his given task and not much else. He had little in the way of ambition, and only passing interest regarding matters, which more often than not he forgot without other intervention. He was very quiet, being silent most of the time, and this made him less popular with others. As a member of the Apex Dozen, he made little effort to assimilate and learn to work with his teammates, believing his strength and capabilities to be enough to achieve his task. He did, however, appreciate the company of Vek'Bel'Zzak, who, once learning it could not put his powers to work even marginally on Cazzadath, was equally quiet and single-minded in its task of absorbing more mental strength, as he felt more comforted by the nightmarish creature's predictable and reliable behaviour.
