The Water TribeWater TribeA trading-focused desert tribe vulnerable to Bone Hunter raids and arena warfare on Bara Magna. of the pre-Shattering era had its own settlements and its own institutions, and Kirbraz was raised inside that order rather than the harsher arrangement that followed. When the ShatteringThe Core WarThe generations-long war on Spherus Magna over Energized Protodermis that produced the Shattering, the exodus of Mata Nui, and the long Glatorian peace on Bara Magna. tore Spherus MagnaSpherus MagnaA desert world of ancient conflict that became the merger point of the Matoran Universe and Bionicle's true endpoint. into the three fragments of Bara MagnaBara MagnaA desert world of tribal warfare and scarce resources, one of three landmasses that formed Spherus Magna., Bota MagnaBota MagnaA verdant jungle moon separated from Spherus Magna for 100,000 years, then restored by Mata Nui himself at the climax of the Core War., and Aqua MagnaAqua MagnaThe endless ocean where the Matoran Universe found refuge and Mata Nui made his final stand., he was stranded on the desert remnant along with the rest of his tribe.

Kirbraz took shelter there with the other water AgoriAgoriThe villager species of Bara Magna, organised by tribe and settlement, who governed their villages and arranged the Glatorian arena system. and adapted to the new economy of the village system, in which each tribe held a single settlement, the desert between them was hostile country, and resources were rare enough that arena combat between GlatorianGlatorianTribal warriors of Spherus Magna who settled disputes through arena combat, until the Skrall conquest enslaved most of them. became the standard means of settling disputes between villages.

Kirbraz did not become a GlatorianGlatorianTribal warriors of Spherus Magna who settled disputes through arena combat, until the Skrall conquest enslaved most of them.. The named fighters of TajunTajunTajun was a village of the Water Tribe, situated on the banks of the Skrall River. at the height of the village era were TarixTarixThe Water Tribe's toughest fighter, Tarix earned his place through instinct and hard-won experience in the arena. and KiinaKiinaKiina is a Glatorian of the Water Tribe who served as the secondary Glatorian for the village of Tajun on Spherus Magna. Colored in shades of dark and light blue, she wielded a Vapor Trident and a Thornax Launcher in combat. Following the reformation of Spherus Magna, she continued to reside on the restored world., and the village's representatives in arena combat were drawn from that smaller cadre.

He developed his skill alongside ScodoniusScodoniusAn Agori pilot who prepared Arena Magna for the tournament and refused a wild hunt for the Red Star., another water AgoriAgoriThe villager species of Bara Magna, organised by tribe and settlement, who governed their villages and arranged the Glatorian arena system. of TajunTajunTajun was a village of the Water Tribe, situated on the banks of the Skrall River..

The vehicle could separate into two smaller cycles in mid-match, and the design demanded a permanent crew of two pilots who could coordinate the split, fight independently for the duration of the divided run, and either recombine or finish the bout in two pieces depending on the tactical situation. Kirbraz drove the large primary cycle. ScodoniusScodoniusAn Agori pilot who prepared Arena Magna for the tournament and refused a wild hunt for the Red Star. drove the smaller cycle, which carried a ThornaxThornaxThornax was a hardy desert fruit native to Bara Magna, eaten unripe as stew and fired ripe from launchers across Glatorian and Skrall ranks. launcher as its mounted weapon.

The pair were noted for their skill and their disagreements in equal measure. Each was reported to consider himself the stronger pilot, and each preferred to win the match outright rather than share credit with the other. The arrangement nevertheless held together for many seasons, and the Kirbraz and ScodoniusScodoniusAn Agori pilot who prepared Arena Magna for the tournament and refused a wild hunt for the Red Star. crew won many matches in the Kaxium V3Kaxium V3The Kaxium V3 was the Water Tribe two-rider arena vehicle piloted by Scodonius and Kirbraz on Bara Magna, a convertible racer that could split into a primary cycle and a smaller Thornax-armed cycle in mid-match., including the second to last vehicle Great TournamentThe Great TournamentThe yearly Glatorian championship held in the Arena Magna at Atero, the central institution of the post-Core War village system, ended forever by the Skrall attack on its opening day. held before the SkrallSkrallA black-armored warrior species from Spherus Magna that dominated northern Bara Magna under Tuma's rule. conquest ended the circuit.
