The hidden island#

Artakha's island shared his name. For most of its existence it appeared on no maps, by his own design. During a BarrakiThe BarrakiSix warlords who built an empire spanning most of the Matoran Universe, fell in a single Brotherhood ambush, and spent millennia mutated in the Pit. strategy meeting prior to the League of Six KingdomsLeague of Six KingdomsThe League of Six Kingdoms was an alliance composed of various species, with ties to Xia and many other islands. Connected to both the Order of Mata Nui and the Brotherhood of Makuta, the League included Pridak among its ranks, and its members collectively held several powers of unknown scope. Its stated objective was the overthrow of Mata Nui.' fall, ChiroxChiroxA Makuta of the Brotherhood who questioned Teridax's plans before being sent to Karda Nui. asked about places absent from PridakPridakPridak was the most feared of the six Barraki, commander of a shark army and the dominant voice of the League of Six Kingdoms before its imprisonment in the Pit.'s invasion charts. KalmahKalmahA red-and-black Barraki warlord of the League of Six Kingdoms, imprisoned in the Pit and mutated into permanent aquatic form. dismissed the question outright, stating that Artakha was best left "to putter among his creations." The BarrakiThe BarrakiSix warlords who built an empire spanning most of the Matoran Universe, fell in a single Brotherhood ambush, and spent millennia mutated in the Pit. did not press the matter. Artakha was producing goods they had no claim on, on a landmass they could not locate.

The secrecy was actively maintained. After the Brotherhood of MakutaThe Brotherhood of MakutaAn organization of Makuta created by Mata Nui to police his universe and build Rahi, later seized by Teridax and turned into the instrument of the Plan that overthrew the Great Spirit. stole the AvohkiiAvohkiiThe Avohkii is the Mask of Light, a golden mask that granted its wearer the power of Light and the ability to spread understanding.

The policy of concealment held for the remainder of Artakha's tenure.

His position was consistent. He responded to threats by deepening his concealment rather than by going to war. Production continued; the workshop stayed open; the cost was that the wider universe pretended he did not exist.

What he built#

The masks are among his most consequential works. Artakha forged the KraahkanKanohi KraahkanTeridax's Great Mask sees the darkness in everyone.

He also created the four Crystal Serpents. When he realised he could not fully control them, he released them rather than destroy them. Destruction of his own creations was contrary to his nature. As he later told TeridaxTeridaxTeridax orchestrated a thousand-year scheme that ended with him occupying the Great Spirit Robot itself before his death on Bara Magna. directly, "Creation is my essence, and you would destroy all that exists. I can't allow that."

Powers and equipment#
