A wife and a son#

Agarak was married, and he and his wife had a son he called Junior. (BIONICLE: Battle of the Mask Makers)

It's a small amount of biography, but it's more than the story gives for any of the other five. The Protectors' masks, weapons and armour pass from parent to child, so Agarak's household is where the Jungle line that reached Vizuna starts.

Why Agarak was the one who stayed#

Agarak was there with the others. (BIONICLE: Battle of the Mask Makers)

To prepare, Ekimu asked the Protectors to collect Elemental Crystals from the Creatures, and every Protector but Agarak went out after one.

A surprise dinner, and an airship#

The quiet family moment and the start of the catastrophe arrive on the same evening, and no other ancient Protector gets a scene like it. (BIONICLE: Battle of the Mask Makers)

The fall of Ekimu#

The Protectors went with Ekimu to stop Makuta using his Mask of Ultimate PowerMask of Ultimate PowerA heretical Kanohi forged by Makuta of Okoto that contained the powers of all six elements and ruined the Mask Makers' civilization the moment it was worn., and Agarak watched Ekimu strike his brother with the Hammer of PowerHammer of PowerThe Hammer of Power is a weapon wielded by Ekimu, capable of creating as well as melee and ranged combat. In its powered-up form, the hammer manifests as light, its colors intact..

(BIONICLE: Battle of the Mask Makers)

The Protectors found Ekimu's unconscious body, heard the Prophecy of Heroes whispered to them, and laid the Mask Maker in a sarcophagus. They kept the prophecy and set out to find the scattered Golden Masks, a task finished by them or their descendants, who placed the masks in shrines to wait for the Toa. The story doesn't say whether Agarak fought the Skull Raiders with Ekimu and Makuta in the years before the Festival. (BIONICLE: Battle of the Mask Makers; BIONICLE: Island of Lost Masks)

Down to Vizuna#

The Jungle office stayed in Agarak's family through many generations until Vizuna held it. When the six Toa fell to Okoto, Vizuna was the Protector who guided LewaLewa, Master of Jungle: The Daredevil Toa of OkotoLewa of Okoto was the Master of Jungle summoned by the Protectors, the rebellious flier who quested for the Mask of Jungle in the Region of Jungle and bonded with Uxar in the second wave. through the jungle to the Golden Mask of Jungle.

The current Protectors later found their way into the City of the Mask Makers after the Toa reached it, and a revived Ekimu briefly mistook them for their ancient ancestors. Statues of Agarak and the other first Protectors stood in the city, and the new Protectors studied the old relics to learn the history of their predecessors.
