Origins and the two Olmak#

The KanohiKanohiMasks that grant powers and sustain life, they're the most vital artifact in the Matoran Universe. Olmak was produced by ArtakhaArtakhaArtakha was the master craftsman of the Matoran Universe, ruler of a hidden island, and the forger of the Toa Mata, the Avohkii, and the Kraahkan., the reclusive crafter responsible for the most powerful and most carefully restricted KanohiKanohiMasks that grant powers and sustain life, they're the most vital artifact in the Matoran Universe. in the Matoran UniverseMatoran UniverseA civilization of biomechanical beings living inside a colossal robot, destroyed when Teridax seized control.. Only two Olmak were ever produced for the universe, and the limit was deliberate. A mask that opened gates between dimensions was a fundamental security risk to any organisation whose operations were predicated on the inhabitants of one universe being unable to walk into another, and the Order of Mata NuiThe Order of Mata NuiThe covert organization founded by Helryx to serve the Great Spirit directly, operating in concealment from a fortress on Daxia and waging the open war against the Brotherhood of Makuta that decided the fate of the universe. handled the existence of the Olmak accordingly. Both masks were tracked, and both spent significant periods of their existence either in the hands of an OrderThe Order of Mata NuiThe covert organization founded by Helryx to serve the Great Spirit directly, operating in concealment from a fortress on Daxia and waging the open war against the Brotherhood of Makuta that decided the fate of the universe. agent or in custody for retrieval.

The mask's power was straightforward in description and dangerous in practice. The Olmak allowed its wearer to open a dimensional gate that would transport one or more targets to a different dimension or to a different location within the wearer's current dimension. The portal had a useful property: once opened, it remained in place until something passed through it, even if the wearer was knocked unconscious. The feature made the Olmak an effective trap. An opponent who avoided the portal still had to deal with the wearer; an opponent who engaged the wearer left the portal hanging behind them, ready to consume whatever stumbled in.

The first Olmak: Brutaka#

The tactical use was characteristic: a permanent threat at the rear, leaving the wearer free to engage at the front.

The substance fused the Olmak to VezonVezonHe started as a weapon misfire and a throwaway joke, and the canon spent four years quietly turning him into its most useful expendable asset.'s head.

The consequences of the fusion were extreme.

VezonVezonHe started as a weapon misfire and a throwaway joke, and the canon spent four years quietly turning him into its most useful expendable asset.'s essence and the mask's essence were chemically and physically united, and the dimensional gateway function was no longer a controlled ability that he could activate when he wanted to use it. Portals opened around him with little warning and dropped him into successive locations he had not chosen.

Capabilities and limits#

The Olmak's portal mechanism was governed by three constraints that recur across its recorded uses. The first was that the portal persisted until something passed through it, which made it useful as a one-way trap and dangerous to leave open in an active environment. The second was that destination was not always predictable; control of the mask required practice, and damage to the mask further degraded that control, as BrutakaBrutakaBrutaka guarded the Kanohi Ignika on Voya Nui, betrayed the Order during the Piraka incursion, served time in the Pit, and later led the Federation of Fear strike team.'s post-PitThe PitThe Order of Mata Nui's maximum-security underwater prison where the Barraki warlords were held until catastrophe broke their chains. experience confirmed. The third was that the wearer's command of the mask was not independent of the wearer's situation. A wearer fused to the mask and lacking conscious initiation of its power produced essentially random results, as the VezonVezonHe started as a weapon misfire and a throwaway joke, and the canon spent four years quietly turning him into its most useful expendable asset. case demonstrated.

In ordinary use by a trained agent in good control of the KanohiKanohiMasks that grant powers and sustain life, they're the most vital artifact in the Matoran Universe., the Olmak operated as expected. The mask could open a gate to a chosen destination, deposit a target on the other side, and close. It could open a gate to a different universe entirely, which was the property that the OrderThe Order of Mata NuiThe covert organization founded by Helryx to serve the Great Spirit directly, operating in concealment from a fortress on Daxia and waging the open war against the Brotherhood of Makuta that decided the fate of the universe. had used in the TuyetTuyetA Toa of Water caught in the Order's machinations, Tuyet turned from peer-seeker to rebel-schemer. operation and which TridaxTridaxMost Makuta wanted the Plan to succeed. Tridax wanted what came after, and he was building a private army of stolen Toa of Light in a Destral basement to make sure he got it. had exploited in his abduction programme. The dual-universe range was what placed the Olmak in the upper tier of KanohiKanohiMasks that grant powers and sustain life, they're the most vital artifact in the Matoran Universe. by strategic value, even though its raw destructive power was lower than several other Great KanohiKanohiMasks that grant powers and sustain life, they're the most vital artifact in the Matoran Universe..

Significance#

The Olmak's significance to the wider storyline lay in what it made possible. A mask that crossed dimensions enabled the Order of Mata NuiThe Order of Mata NuiThe covert organization founded by Helryx to serve the Great Spirit directly, operating in concealment from a fortress on Daxia and waging the open war against the Brotherhood of Makuta that decided the fate of the universe. to remove threats it could not otherwise contain. It enabled 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. to mount alternate-timeline operations that no other equipment in the universe could have supported.

And it turned VezonVezonHe started as a weapon misfire and a throwaway joke, and the canon spent four years quietly turning him into its most useful expendable asset., already an unstable element, into a creature whose mere existence destabilised the boundaries between dimensions that the rest of the universe relied upon.
