History[]
Pohatu and the rest of his team were created solely as Toa by Artakha. They were then transported to the island of Daxia where they were awakened. The Toa were then introduced to each other and told of their destiny as the guardians of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. The Toa were then trained by Hydraxon in combat in case of other situations that they might encounter in the future. In one training exercise, he hid each of their Kanohi, and they would have to retrieve them. He claimed the exercise was to train them for a time when Kanohi would not be readily accessible. Afterwards, he had each of them try to defeat him. Pohatu, like most of his teammates, could not outrun the jailer, even with his Kanohi Kakama. The moment he deactivated it, he was taken down.
Upon completing their training, the Toa Mata were sent to Karda Nui to protect its Av-Matoran residents. They fought against many different Rahi that had been affected by strange energy spikes, and then defeated living lightning bolt Rahi called the Avohkah. Following the creatures' defeat, Tahu and Kopaka led the other Toa to the Codrex, the only feature on the sandy plains of Karda Nui. After they entered it, the hatch sealed them inside, and the two Toa were forced to explain that if they left the Codrex, the Energy Storms that filled Karda Nui would destroy them. They were told they had to enter Toa Canisters, since the Codrex had no life support systems. Pohatu was the first to enter them, where they remained asleep for thousands of years.
Their canisters remained untouched for almost a century until they were eventually discovered by the mysterious Overlord of Robots, Kuurk, who reawakened them and convinced them to join his Empire. As a result, the Toa Mata became the Empire's frontline warriors as well as its first line of defense.
Pohatu was among many members of Kuurk's Empire to emigrate over to the Earth-like planet of Helvean when the organization moved its base of operations there.
Abilities and Traits[]
Pohatu is amiable and the friendliest of the Toa Mata. He has good relationships with all the Toa, and treats them like equals. He casually makes jokes in times of danger and peace, boosting the morale of others around him. He always has a happy, cheerful demeanor and is brave and dependable. During high tensions between his brothers, he attempts to bring the quarreling Toa to work together, though often to no avail. He never takes rude remarks from anyone seriously and easily forgives them if they make a mistake. Like many Toa of Stone, Pohatu has aquaphobia, as he is afraid he would easily drown if he tried swimming in water.
As a Toa, Pohatu has the ability to create and manipulate the element of Stone.
