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 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.
