History

Early Life

Gruru started his life as Onu-matoran on Spherus Magna, where he helped create the Matoran Universe. After moving into the Great Spirit Robot he lived in Metru-Nui.

Due to Velika's tampering with the matoran species, Whenua was given true sentience by the Great being in disguise.

Great Cataclysm 

Whenua was an archivist in the Onu-Metru Archives. When the Great Cataclysm happened Whenua and Gruru evacuated the archives while the exhibits were released. He witnessed the Vahki and Toa Mangai fend off the released rahi. He and Gruru assisted the Toa in sealing the archives off due to him knowing the archives very well.

Becoming a Toa

Years later, Whenua, along with Jaller, Haylex, Gruru, Hewkii, and Nuju, were summoned to the great temple and were given toa stones by Toa Rhodie. The group became toa while Rhodie became a Turaga. The team were known Turaga Rhodie's Toa Team. Toa Jaller was made leader while Hewkii was made deputy. Their team was trained by Toa Naho and the rest of the Toa Mangai alongside the newly formed Toa Metru.

Lurker

Around the time the Toa Hagah returned to Metru-Nui with bunch of survivors of the Brotherhoods invasion, Whenua and his team were sent to deal with the Dark Hunter Lurker.

Becoming a Turaga

During the battle, Toa Whenua was critically injured but the toa eventually defeated the Dark Hunter and imprisoned him in the Great Coliseum's prison. Gruru witnessed Whenua summon six matoran, Kapura, Macku, Tamaru, Hafu, Taipu, and Kopeke, to the great temple and give them toa stones. Whenua became a Turaga while the six matoran became toa and were later referred to as the Toa Phantoka. Whenua then joined the Turaga Council.

A few Years later Toa Orde came to Metru-Nui to enlist help in awakening Mata-Nui, With the Turaga Council's Permission, by going to Karda-Nui with the Ignika. Toa Mangai joined Toa Orde's party with many other toa teams such as the Toa Hagah, the Toa Metru, and the two new Toa teams created by Rhodie and Whenua.

Battle of Karda-Nui

When all the Toa Teams left for Karda-Nui Toa Takanuva stayed behind to guard the city.

Arriving Back at Metru-Nui

Due to Kotah being the only member of his team to return home he joined the Toa Metru making it one giant toa team of the remaining members fractured teams. Pouks was made deputy of the the Toa metru due to Toa Tehutti getting his voice box cut out.

Newly Formed Toa Metru 

After a few years of being a Toa Metru Kualus went missing in Ko-Metru and Iruini, Ehrye, and Pouks went searching for their missing brother. Around this time a mercenary know as Zepharious assassinated Toa Kotah in Ga-Metru. Lhikan and Rhodie were deeply saddened by the passing of their former teammate.

Attack at the Coliseum

During a normal day a Makuta know as Daraxian attacked the Coliseum with a squad of Rahkshi. The Makuta was able to kill Toa Haylex and used his shadow hand to kill Toa Ehrye. When the mercenary known as Zepharious arrived he shot at the hulking Makuta. Distracted by the new arrival Toa Iruini pierced the Makuta in the chest, which gave enough time for Toa Tehutti to decapitate the Makuta. Toa Nuhrii then used his fire to destroy the Makuta's antidermis. Zepharious then surrendered himself to the Toa to pay for his crimes.

Due to the fight Iruini was badly Injured and decided to give out four toa stones to a Fe-Matoran Pez, a Vo-matoran Rahni, a Su-Matoran Clancer, and a Le-matoran Kongu. The four matoran were summoned to the great temple and became the newest member of the Toa Metru. Iruini was Transformed into a turaga and joined the Turaga Council

Zepharious' Trial 

Due to the fact Iruini would have been killed by Makuta Daraxian without Zeparious' intervention. Zepharious explained that when his island Jemani-Nui was destroyed and saw no survivors he went down a dark path and became a mercenary to get rid of all the Makuta and troublesome beings in the Matoran Universe. But when he saw that Rahni and Clancer, two matoran from his original village were still alive all of the horrible things he did flooded him at once and that's when he decided to turn himself in. Then the coliseum was attacked by a Makuta and he had to break out of his cuffs and help defeat the Makuta. After that he surrendered himself to authorities.

Zeparious said he wanted to make amends for his past mistakes and help train the new batch of toa. Although Turaga Lhikan was skeptical due to Zepharious assassinating a Toa Mangai Kotah the council agreed to add him to the Toa Metru but he must follow Toa code.

Change of Leadership

Due to Toa Ehrye losing his life, Toa Vhisola being in a coma, believing Toa Orkahm to be dead, and Ahkmou betraying his former teammates, Toa Nuhrii fell into a depression. He resigned as leader of the Toa Metru and Pouks took over. Toa Jaller was made deputy of the team after the change in leadership.

Due to their efforts in defeating Makuta Daraxian Toa Nuhrii, Toa Tehutti were promoted to Elite Clad Toa Armor.

Arrival of The Toa Mata

Shortly after the change in leadership six Toa arrived on the border of Ga-Metru. The toa were Tahu, Gali, Lewa, Pohatu, Onua, and Kopaka. The new toa had no memory of their past and were enlisted into the ever growing Toa Metru team. They were trained by the Veteran members of the the Toa Metru alongside Rahni, Clancer, Pez, and Kongu.

Around the time the toa mata came to the island a toa of light named Tollubo joined the Toa Metru as well and helped train the new Toa Metru.

Invasion of Po-Metru

A few months later The Brotherhood of Makuta sent a full scale invasion force to Po-Metru led by Shadow Ahkmou. During the invasion Tahu and Gruru were overwhelmed defending the area and were never heard from again. The remaining Toa were forced to fall back with as many civilian survivors as possible. The Turaga Council issued a full scale evacuation of Po-metru. During this time the toa had doubts about the Toa code do to them following it many matoran where killed.

Abilities and Traits

As a matoran Whenua had a miniscule amount of control over the Earth and like other Onu-Matoran he could see good in the dark. As a Toa of Earth Whenua could create, control, and absorb earth. He could also create earthquakes due to him being able to control earth. As a turaga Whenua still has control over Earth but it has been greatly diminished.

Whenua is wise and very knowledgeable about facts and history.
