The spy who wanted more#

Mazeka's ambition in training was uncomplicated. In Brothers In Arms, he told his mentor JerbrazJerbrazJerbraz is an invisible member of the Order of Mata Nui. He is based on Spherus Magna and carries an Invisible Sword as his tool. that his goal was to master combat in all its forms: fighting honorably and dishonorably alike, and becoming proficient with blades, fists, and any available weapon. He wasn't interested in becoming a standard operative. He refused to accept what MatoranMatoranThe most abundant species in the Matoran Universe, chosen by Mata Nui to inhabit and maintain his cosmic body. were supposed to be. That hunger shaped every decision he made. When most MatoranMatoranThe most abundant species in the Matoran Universe, chosen by Mata Nui to inhabit and maintain his cosmic body. would retreat or negotiate, he pushed forward.
