Navek was an Onu-Matoran archivist who specialized in the history of Skakdi technology before a tunnel collapse in the lower levels of the archives resulted in him being sent to Karzahni for repair. He current resides in Mahri Nui and catalogues and stores all the "gifts" sent down from Voya Nui.
History[]
Metru Nui[]
Navek spent much of his early life in Onu-Metru, doing secondary research in his chosen field of Skakdi technology in the upper levels of the Archives. He was, for all intents and purposes, locked into his position, unable to move up because had no way to make any real discoveries without actually going tp Zakaz.
One day, working late to file a particularly unimportant document on early Skakdi technological achievements while being kept in isolation from the world by members of the Brotherhood of Makuta, he noticed discrepancy between the primary records from the Makuta observers and the secondary records of the upper archivists. He pointed this out to his superiors and was shunted back down to his little cubicle and told never to bring it up again. Sensing that he was onto something big, Navek took a week off for an impromptu cruise in the south. He used his archivist credentials to get him through to Zakaz, where he relentlessly pursued his quest for truth until it led him to a former Kra-Matoran assistant of Makuta Spiriah in the darkest depths of an old Brotherhood dungeon on Zakaz. There he was told of the true origins of the Skakdi warmongers: that they were once a peaceful species that was mutated by the Brotherhood in an attempt to create an army.
Navek used this knowledge to write a dissertation on the subject of early Skakdi technological advancements, omitting the details of the Brotherhood's interference so as to keep from seeming too far-fetched and being ridiculed by the rest of the historical community. His work was well received, and Navek was promoted to a respectable position in the Archives. Several decades and five definitive essays on the topic of Skakdi technology later, Navek was finally ready to reveal all of what he had discovered, including the incriminating details against the Brotherhood.
Before he could finish, a cave in in the lower levels on the Archives left him broken and barely alive. Navek maintains to this day that the cave in at the Archives was not an accident, and that someone set it up to intentionally to silence him. Unfortunately for him, no one in Mahri Nui cares about his old grudge against the Brotherhood, and he's left alone to grumble at the "gifts" he is meant to keep in order.
Life in Mahri Nui[]
After his accident, Navek was sent to Karzahni, where he was "repaired" and then shipped off to the Southern Continent so the failure of his reconstruction could be hidden from prying eyes. He was one of the first settlers of the coastal city of Mahri Nui, having felt out of place in the less "civilized" villages scattered across the island. He was in the city when it sunk into the Voya Nui Bay. Shortly thereafter, when the Matoran of Voya Nui began sending "gifts" down into the Bay to commemorate the tragedy, Navek was assigned to catalog and maintain the collection of objects in the Holy Sanctuary.
When the Gadunka attacked Mahri Nui, Navek helped Kaira arm the Mahri Nui Sentinels with Zamor Sphere Launchers. He helped feel the spheres with air after Kaira determined that air was toxic to the creatures of the Voya Nui Bay. After the Sentinels retreated to the safety of the Air Dome, Navek assisted Kaira in caring for the wounded.
Personality and Traits[]
Navek is too curious for his own good. His intelligence and perceptiveness make it nearly impossible for him not to stumble upon mysteries, which he then refuses to let go of until he has answers. This has a tendency to put him on the bad side of many an unscrupulous being, making him many enemies in places both high and low. Navek is generally blind to this danger until it is nearly too late, saved only by last minute interventions and a rather large amount of dumb luck.
Some have wondered why Navek was allowed to work in the Archives, being one of the most disorganized Onu-Matoran ever to reside in Metru Nui. He refuses to organize things in any coherent fashion, claiming that he knows exactly where he keeps things. This is not true, as he often forgets where he put something the moment before, not to mention items he misplaced months prior. He denies all of this, and pretends to be just as organized as any other renowned archivist. He has yet to catch on that everyone sees through this façade, as he himself is the only one who has not.
Powers and Equipment[]
Being an Onu-Matoran, Navek possesses naturally superior night vision than other Matoran, but also a heightened sensitivity to bright sunlight. After Mahri Nui sunk into the Voya Nui Bay, the small amount of mutagen Navek was exposed to gave him a stronger, sleeker form more suited to his new environment. He wears a Kanohi Pehkui, and wields a Zamor Sphere Launcher loaded with concentrated air.
