- "Kazi immediately began using the old Ko-Matoran trick of counting to himself to prevent an explosion of temper. With Velika, he sometimes reached numbers in the high seven digits."
- ―Narrator, Dark Destiny
Kazi was a Ko-Matoran and member of the Voya Nui Resistance Team.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Like all Ko-Matoran, Kazi came into being on Spherus Magna, where he was placed in the Matoran Universe. Not much is known about Kazi or his original home island, but it is known that he was; for an unclear reason, sent to the Realm of Karzahni. Whether or not he was sent there for repairs, was banished there, or was one of the Matoran from Lesovikk's homeland, remains to be confirmed.
When Kazi arrived in Karzahni, he was presumably forced to surrender his Kanohi and any tools he wielded. Rebuilt into a weaker form, Kazi was fitted with a Powerless Matatu and gifted a pair of Echo Forks before being shipped to the island of Voya Nui by Karzahni, who felt great shame at his inability to properly repair the Matoran sent to him.
Voya Nui[]
Landing in the Southern Continent, Kazi and his fellow Matoran became some of the earliest settlers of Voya Nui, a village on the outskirts of Mount Valmai. During this period, Kazi also came to deeply resent his Po-Matoran neighbor, Velika, finding his manner of proverbial speech to be an unnecessary irritation.
1000 years ago, the Brotherhood of Makuta launched an unexpected assault upon the core processor of the Matoran Universe, disabling Mata Nui and causing the Great Spirit Robot to crash. Rocked by universal tectonic activity, Kazi's adoptive homeland broke off from the Southern Continent landmass and was ejected entirely from its dome, coming to rest on the surface of Aqua Magna, bringing with it both the villages of Voya Nui and Mahri Nui and killing Turaga Jovan. Robbed of their leader and without the protection of Toa, the Matoran of the two villages struggled to survive in their new circumstance. After a brief period of cohabitation between the Matoran of Voya Nui and Mahri Nui, however, the island was once again ravaged by cataclysm, causing Mahri Nui to break off and sink into the ocean.
Roughly 500 years ago, Voya Nui was rocked by an intense storm for the first time since its formation. Without the Southern Continent to shelter the landmass, the Matoran of the settlement were besieged by the elements. Kazi was one of several Matoran to lead the villagers to safety in the Nui Caves before attempting to rebuild.
Race for the Mask of Life[]
Kazi in the Matoran Hideaway
Months after the defeat of Makuta Teridax on Mata Nui, six Skakdi would travel to the shores of Voya Nui intent on stealing the Kanohi Ignika. Met initially with skepticism, the six Skakdi would ultimately come to convince the local Matoran of their virtuous intentions, with Kazi and a handful of others harboring suspicions. Despite this, the six false-Toa would ultimately come to convince the larger Matoran community of their virtuous intentions.
After Balta and Velika reverse-engineered a Zamor Launcher designed by Avak, the Matoran were able to determine that the false-Toa were present upon the island for a darker purpose. Promptly after this revelation, the Skakdi revealed themselves to be a group of ex-Dark Hunters known as the Piraka and used Zamor Launchers to enslave the local Matoran population, with Kazi managing to evade capture, alongside Balta, Dalu, Garan, Piruk, and Velika.
With the Toa Nuva arriving on the island shortly afterward, Kazi's cohorts mistook the Toa for imposters and motioned to assault them on the slope of Mount Valmai. With Toa Gali notably struck by an energy bolt launched from Dalu's Power Chargers, the Toa became increasingly divided, though Toa Kopaka was able to end the battle by flash-freezing the Matoran, allowing Toa Onua an opening through which to authenticate the Toa Nuva as real Toa. Venturing into the Piraka Stronghold with the Matoran Resistance Team, Kazi accompanied his fellow Matoran and the Toa Nuva on one final assault, which ended in the swift and decisive victory of the Piraka owing to the intervention of Brutaka, a former Order of Mata Nui operative who had defected to aiding the Piraka.
Rendered unconscious by the assault, Kazi was disposed of on the outskirts of the Piraka Stronghold by Brutaka, alongside Balta, Piruk, and Velika, who intended to leave the Matoran in the path of a Doom Viper only to change his mind and teleport the Rahi away. Returning to consciousness, Kazi and his cohorts would successfully break their leader, Garan, out of captivity and reconvene with Dalu. Encountering the Toa Inika, the members of the Voya Nui Resistance Team swiftly formed an alliance with the newly-transformed Toa, who had been loyal compatriots of the Toa Nuva.
Launching a coordinated attack on each facet of the Piraka's operation, Kazi partnered with Balta, Toa Matoro, and Toa Hewkii, attempting to locate the mysterious warrior known as Axonn. Finding their quarry injured in a cave on the outskirts of Mount Valmai, Axonn cautioned the Toa and their Matoran companions to be wary of Brutaka before lapsing into unconsciousness. Leaving the warrior to heal, Kazi joined the Toa Inika on their ensuing assault of the Piraka Stronghold.
With the Toa Inika regrouping to occupy the Piraka Stronghold with the help of Axonn, Kazi accompanied the other five members of the Matoran Resistance Team once again infiltrated the Piraka Stronghold, this time venturing deep into its dungeons and finally finding the Toa Nuva. Under the effects of the same Antidermis that had enslaved the Matoran of Voya Nui, the Toa were rendered incapable of independent thought and had been instructed to channel their Elemental Powers into a deep chasm beneath the Piraka Stronghold. Using a Zamor Launcher developed by Velika, the Matoran were able to free the Toa from their enslavement and return the Kanohi Nuva, allowing their depleted Elemental Energy reserves to begin replenishing.
Once the Toa Inika had defeated Vezon in the Chamber of Life, the Kanohi Ignika submerged itself in the Cape of No Hope, prompting the young Toa to set off in search of it once again. With the Piraka defeated, Kazi and his fellow Matoran Resistance Team members would come to busy themselves with repairs.
Abilities and Traits[]
Kazi in VNOG Form.
Widely regarded as a pessimist, Kazi often proved sarcastic and hot-tempered. Most notably, Kazi came to be incensed by Velika's habit of speaking in proverbial riddles, often resorting to outbursts while in the Po-Matoran's presence. Despite his flaws, however, Kazi had tremendous faith in Garan, respecting the Onu-Matoran as leader of the Matoran and willing to set aside his own feelings to achieve a common goal.
Able to access the vestiges of dormant Elemental Ice Energy, Kazi possessed a natural affinity towards colder climates, able to withstand lower temperatures than most other Matoran.
Tools[]
Gifted to him by Karzahni following his reconstruction, Kazi wielded a pair of Echo Forks, powerful melee weapons capable of launching a grating Sonic shockwave.
Following his reconstruction on Karzahni, Kazi was issued with a Powerless Kanohi Matatu in place of his original Mask. While inoperable, he wore this Kanohi throughout his time on Voya Nui.
