Karesa is the Agori leader of the Water Tribe.
History[]
Early life[]
Karesa was born on Spherus Magna less than 265,000 years ago. During the Core War, she served under the Element Lord of Water as a tactical advisor, though oftentimes her advice was ignored as the Element Lord was typically as unpredictable as the element he represented; acting calm one moment and violent the next. When Spherus Magna was shattered by the destructive conflict, Karesa ended up on the fragment which became known as Bara Magna, living in Tajun with other members of the Water Tribe. At some point, she became the chief leader of the Water Tribe.
Bara Magna[]
At some point, Tajun had a match with Vulcanus in which the Agori racers Kirbraz and Scodonius competed against Perditus and lost due to their unwillingness to work together. Karesa expressed her disappointment in the two Agori and confronted Scodonius personally while he was brooding near a river. After Karesa imparted some harsh truths and words of wisdom to the Agori pilot, Scodonius took her words to heart and worked together with Kirbraz to win their second match against Perditus.
In the months leading up to the fall of Atero, Tajun was subject to a number of attacks by the Bone Hunters, making trade difficult for the Water Tribe. Karesa did what she could for the benefit of her people but knew deep down that the Water Tribe would not be able to last for long under their current conditions. Shortly following the fall of Atero and the raid on Vulcanus, Tajun was attacked by a combined army of Bone Hunters and Skrall. Karesa helped lead the evacuation efforts and fled to Knee Island, though some of her guards stayed behind to help the Glatorian Gresh defend their village. Despite their efforts, Tajun ultimately fell to the Skrall and was destroyed.
Not long after the attack on Tajun, the mysterious warrior who called himself Mata Nui defeated the Skrall leader Tuma in combat before convincing the Agori tribes to unite and reassemble the pieces of the prototype Great Spirit Robot that had served as landmarks on Bara Magna for the past millennium. Under Karesa's direction, the piece which made up Knee Island was reunited with the other pieces, creating a giant city for the Agori to live in. Karesa then joined a council of Agori advisors under the leadership of Raanu.
After returning from his adventures to the Valley of the Maze, Mata Nui convinced the Agori to evacuate from their city so that he could use the Prototype Robot that comprised it to fight against Makuta Teridax, who had taken over Mata Nui's original body and was on his way to conquer Bara Magna. With some reluctance, Raanu, Karesa, and the other Agori leaders agreed to Mata Nui's request and ultimately bore witness to the Great Spirit's fight with his Makuta usurper. Following the Battle of Bara Magna, Mata Nui fulfilled his destiny to reunite the three fragments of Spherus Magna. Afterwards, Karesa and the other Agori leaders worked with Toa Tahu and Gali to integrate the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe into Agori society.
Abilities and Traits[]
While not as old as her Fire Tribe counterpart Raanu, Karesa was nonetheless considered one of the wisest Agori in the Water Tribe and perhaps even among the wisest on Bara Magna as a whole. She was also very blunt and never afraid to show her disappointment in other Agori and even Glatorian fighters whenever they failed to win a match due to a flaw in their character.
