That decision to jump teams cost him everything.

The Hired Muscle#

Reidak worked for the Dark Hunters long enough to earn the codename "the Tracer." His defining characteristic was his willingness to break anything put in front of him, regardless of size, shape, or whether it was alive. This pleased the Shadowed One immensely. That wasn't criticism. It was a job description. Reidak was superb at destruction, and the Dark Hunters traded in soldiers who excelled at their craft. But loyalty was never Reidak's style. When the PirakaPirakaSix rogue Skakdi mercenaries who broke from the Dark Hunters to hunt the Mask of Life on Voya Nui. offered him a cut of the Mask of Life, he switched sides without hesitation. Years with the Dark Hunters taught him nothing mattered but the next contract and the next paycheck.

The team moved through underwater caverns with brutal single-mindedness, hunting the Mask of Life with weapons and cunning. Reidak fought with his buzzsaw and fired Zamor spheres with the rest, relying on his natural adaptation to handle whatever the environment threw at him. Maskless and intellectually unremarkable, he had no influence inside the team. What Reidak brought was muscle, a vicious temper, and a gift for breaking things. When the Toa InikaToa InikaSix former Matoran who entered Karzahni broken and emerged as the next Toa team, transformed on the shore of Voya Nui by a lightning strike from the red star. descended into the depths, everything changed.
