Velika
Velika is a Great Being who disguised himself as a Po-Matoran on Mata Nui, wearing a powerless Komau and bearing an affinity for Stone. Colored in golden brown, grey, and orange, he worked as an inventor and carried Power Carvers as his tools. He was last known to be located on Bota Magna.
Velika appeared to be a Po-MatoranPo-MatoranThe Stone-element Matoran of Po-Metru and Po-Koro, carvers and quarry workers, the most athletic of the Matoran types and the population behind the Kohlii and Akilini circuits. inventor, but he was in truth a Great Being in disguise, concealing his nature behind a powerless Komau and an affinity for Stone. His true identity remained hidden through events that other beings could not remember: when Mata Nui erased the memories of the previous six months from everyone in the Matoran universe, sparing only members of the Order, Velika was likewise unaffected and retained his recollection of that lost time.
On Voya NuiVoya NuiAn island born from catastrophe and hiding the universe's most powerful artifact, Voya Nui was everything Bionicle 2006 promised: danger, mystery, and a race against time., Velika was part of the Matoran resistance that opposed the Piraka, working alongside Garan, Balta, Piruk, Kazi, and Dalu. He was seen by Avak while scurrying away from the Piraka, and he later examined a zamor sphere launcher that Avak had built, helping the others realize that the device was a weapon. When the Toa Inika arrived, Velika gave them new zamor sphere launchers loaded with energized protodermis. He also fought in the conflict against the Toa Nuva, during which Kopaka flash-froze him along with Piruk and Kazi.
Velika put his skill as an inventor to use beyond Voya Nui. After the Piraka Reidak snapped one of LewaLewaToa of Air, member of the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva, whose career was marked by repeated possession, body theft, and aerial campaigns from Le-Wahi to Karda Nui.'s Air Katana in two, Velika replaced the broken weapon. As the wider campaign progressed, Nuparu, Kongu, Velika, and Garan went to the Piraka Stronghold to find the Toa Nuva, slipping past Nektann and entering a room where the Nuva's masks hung on the wall.
In later events, Velika acted against other Great Beings. When a group including Axonn, Brutaka, and Helryx encountered the Great Being who had been cursed by the Ignika, Velika, still in his Po-Matoran guise, secretly set explosives outside the fortress in an effort to eliminate the cursed Great Being and the others. All of them escaped. On Bara Magna he maintained an agent, the Agori Atakus, who kept him informed about events there. Velika was last known to be located on Bota Magna.
