As a member of the PirakaBionicle Piraka: the Six Skakdi Thieves Who Hunted the Mask of LifeThe Piraka were six Skakdi who quit the Dark Hunters, took over Voya Nui by posing as Toa and went after the Mask of Life in 2006. Here's who they were, how the Voya Nui story played out and what happened to them afterwards., he'd earned his nickname through a combination of brutality and a startling lack of subtlety. He wasn't the leader (that was ZaktanZaktanMutated Skakdi leader of the Piraka, formerly a Dark Hunter whose body was dissolved into a colony of Protodites by the Shadowed One and reformed with its consciousness intact.), wasn't the thinker (Avak), and definitely wasn't the one people underestimated. Everyone knew exactly what Hakann was: aggressive, cruel, and hungry for power.

Here's who they were, how the Voya Nui story played out and what happened to them afterwards.. Before the team came together for their scheme on Voya NuiVoya NuiAn island born from catastrophe and hiding the universe's most powerful artifact, Voya Nui was everything Bionicle 2006 promised: danger, mystery, and a race against time., he worked as a Dark Hunter, one of the galaxy's most feared and most expensive mercenaries for hire. He was the kind of operative the Shadowed One hired when someone needed to be hurt badly and quickly. That reputation for brutality followed him onto the island. When ZaktanZaktanMutated Skakdi leader of the Piraka, formerly a Dark Hunter whose body was dissolved into a colony of Protodites by the Shadowed One and reformed with its consciousness intact. assembled the PirakaBionicle Piraka: the Six Skakdi Thieves Who Hunted the Mask of LifeThe Piraka were six Skakdi who quit the Dark Hunters, took over Voya Nui by posing as Toa and went after the Mask of Life in 2006.

He needed to prove his strength through violence alone. His actions in pursuit of that goal left a body count. He became known specifically for slaughtering countless Toa of WaterToa of WaterToa of Water were rare heroes who commanded water power, typically selected from the Ga-Matoran people., a reputation that speaks to both his skill and his utter disregard for anything but the immediate satisfaction of violence.

As a SkakdiSkakdiA brutish warrior species from Zakaz whose pair-dependent elemental powers and moral void made them one of Bionicle's few irredeemable factions., Hakann had access to fire-based powers, though they were limited compared to a true fire-wielder.
