Toa Ignika
Toa Ignika is the Mask of Life and the body it has created for itself. He is very eager to be a hero and to have friends, but also fairly innocent and naïve. He rarely speaks initially, since he does not have a grasp of spoken language. Brave and somewhat reckless, but with his level of power, he can afford to be.

Mask: Kanohi Ignika, the Mask of Life
Powers: Although not as powerful as in pure mask form, Toa Ignika still has the ability to bring inanimate objects to life and evolve or devolve objects or other beings.
Weapons: Midak skyblaster; lifeblade

Mutran and Vican
Mutran is the Brotherhood’s master of mutation, having turned a simple Le-Matoran into the monstrous Vican and kraata into shadow leeches. Well past the point of insanity, Mutran has been assigned to breed the leeches and guard the cavern in which it’s done. Vican serves his faithfully, partly out of his own madness, partly in hope that Mutran will return him to his former shape if he does a good job.

Mask: Kanohi Shelek, Mask of Silence – can cause a target to temporarily lose the ability to hear or speak
Weapons: Shadow blade; shadow spear; claws
Powers: Mutran has the power of flight and has access to all 40+ Makuta powers. He also can wield shadow energies.

Makuta Icarax
This deadly foe has immense strength and toughness, and has access to shadow energy and all 40+ powers of the Makuta. Unlike the Makuta of Karda Nui, Icarax was not blinded by the burst of light when the Mask of Life was used.

Mask: Kanohi Kraahkan, Mask of Shadows

Weapons: Rotating blade; shield

Gadunka
Once, he was a tiny sea creature only a few inches long. Then an accidental exposure to the power of the Mask of Life evolved him into the huge and savage creature he is now. To Gadunka, anything else that lives is the enemy.

Hydraxon
The original Hydraxon, jailer of the Pit, died long ago. But the Mask of Life transformed a Matoran into a new Hydraxon. Now this skilled weaponsmaster stalks the seas, hoping to recapture the escaped Barraki.

The robot guardian of the Pit has been taken over by the evil Makuta, master of shadows. But is he the enemy of the Toa Mahri … or their only hope of victory?

Descriptions and stats of Matoran. Yes, Matoran.

From Bionicle.com.

Tanma
Tanma is the leader of the last remaining Matoran of Light. He has grown into the job, learning to make the hard choices in the short time Karda Nui has been besieged. Brave, but not foolish, and wise enough to know the Matoran have to strike and run away if they are going to survive.

Weapons: Power swords which fire light bursts; rocket boosters.

Quote: “The life of one Matoran doesn’t matter compared to the fate of the whole universe.”

Solek
Solek is an expert on the ancient legends of Lewa, Pohatu, etc., and knows more about their past than they do! Kopaka is his hero and he wants to be more like him, but has not yet discovered how to contain his excitement and master his emotions.

Weapons: Power swords which fire light bursts; rocket boosters

Photok
Photok is a warrior who has been longing for something to fight for millennia. He is impatient to take the battle to the Brotherhood of Makuta and feels Tanma is too cautious. He was best friends with Radiak and now the two often clash.

Gavla
Leader of the shadow Matoran, Gavla’s hatred for her own people makes her a formidable enemy. She fights the Matoran of Light as much because she enjoys it as because she has been ordered to.

Kirop
Former leader of the Matoran of Light, Kirop has become their most dangerous enemy because he knows everything about all of them. He dislikes Gavla because she has been given the authority he feels should have been his.

Bios...did I tell you that this isn't new? - TOA MAHRI

From Bionicle.com.

Toa Kongu
Although Toa Kongu hates the water, he is forcing himself to adapt to battle beneath the sea. He is one of the best at seeing a situation for what it is and using humor to keep his enemies off-balance.

Weapons: Cordak blasters
Mask: Kanohi Zatth, Mask of Summoning

Quote: “Five of us, 5000 of them. I like your idea of fair odds, Hahli.”

Toa Jaller
Toa Jaller is used to being one of the most powerful Toa, but a water world is not made for a Toa of Fire. Still, he is a strong leader and is working hard to keep his team together in this crisis.

Weapons:Cordak blaster; aquatic fire blade
Mask: Kanohi Arthron, Mask of Sonar

Quote: “Give it up, or some lucky Rahi will be having boiled Barraki for dinner.”

Toa Hewkii
Toa Hewkii has decided that battle is just another kind of competition, and he is determined to be a champion. Sometimes he won’t even use his mask power or weapons, just pitting his strength against that of his foe.

Weapons: Aqua warblade; Cordak revolving blaster
Mask: Kanohi Garai, Mask of Gravity

Quote: “It’s Gadunka. Too bad we don’t have any of those explosive madu fruit like on our old island. I could teach him to play fetch.”

Bios...this isn't new - PHANTOKA

From Bionicle.com.

Toa Kopaka
Unlike some of the other Toa Nuva, Kopaka has changed very little. He still prefers to fight alone, given the opportunity, though he knows it’s not a wise tactic against the Makuta. He is not at all happy about going into battle with Solek, feeling that exposing Matoran to danger is the last thing a responsible Toa should do. He and Tahu have settled many of their differences and Kopaka now fills the role of deputy leader of the team.

Mask: Akaku Nuva, Great Mask of X-Ray Vision.
Weapons: Midak Skyblaster, equipped with blizzard blade and laser sight
Quote: “All right, then, you Matoran ride with us. Stay low, keep your mouths shut, and try not to get killed.”

Toa Lewa
Of all the Toa, Lewa is one of the two (along with Tahu) who have matured the most. Although he still has an adventu- rous spirit, he is no longer so reckless and wild. He knows he has proven himself in battle, and so doesn’t feel the need to try quite so hard all the time. As a result, he has become a better teammate, a better fighter, and someone both Tahu and Kopaka feel can be trusted in dangerous situations.

Mask: Miru Nuva, Great Mask of Levitation.
Weapons: Midak Skyblaster (fires spheres of light) and air saber
Qutoe: “I am a Toa-hero, here to save you from … whatever it is you need saving from.”

Toa Pohatu
Always one of the friendlier Toa, Pohatu has been happy to see the team coming together and the internal fights a thing of the past. He is regarded as the most loyal and reliable team member, so easygoing and with such a good sense of humor that even Kopaka can’t help liking him. But Pohatu is also a fierce fighter, especially when he feels the weak are being threatened.

Mask: Kakama Nuva, Great Mask of Speed
Weapons: Rotating propeller/drill claws, Midak Skyblaster (shoots spheres of light)
Quote: “You know, I’ve seen things crawl out from under rocks that had more class than you Makuta. And I’m a Toa of Stone – I know rocks.”

Antroz
Antroz is the leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta forces in Karda Nui. Aggressive, he is not really a long-range planner, more a fierce warrior. In his opinion, complex tactics and strategies don’t win battles – crushing your enemy before he crushes you wins battles. Unlike the Makuta of Metru Nui, he never underestimates a foe.

Mask: Kanohi Jutlin, Mask of Corruption. Causes items to rot and break down.
Weapons: Tridak pod with shadow leeches; claws; teeth
Peculiarity: Antroz is a rare Makuta who has some sense of honor. For example, he’d prefer to win in a fair fight than to hit from behind.
Quote: “Toa serve an important purpose in this world – they help me keep my claws sharp.”

AGILITY:12
TOUGHNESS:16
MIND:14

Vamprah
Vamprah is the true hunter among the Makuta, who delights in silently stalking his prey. Even his allies are uncomfortable around him. Thanks to his mask power and his own experiments, he now literally feeds on the hopes and dreams of others.

Peculiarity: Vamprah hates to see a hunt end too soon, and will often toy with his prey before feeding on their light.
Mask: Kanohi Avsa, Mask of Hunger – allows Vamprah to drain light/energy from a target over a distance
Weapons: Tridak pod with shadow leeches; claws; knife-sharp wings

STRENGTH:15

Chirox
Chirox is one of the Brotherhood’s top scientists, but is best known for the fact that the Rahi he creates tend to be vicious and destructive. He is less of a warrior than Antroz, but more cunning, and much more likely to fight dirty.

Peculiarity: Chirox lives to do experiments, and is always tinkering with the flying and swimming beasts of Karda Nui to create new and more monstrous creatures.
Mask: Kanohi Shelek, Mask of Silence – can cause a target to temporarily lose the ability to hear or speak
Weapons: Tridak pod with shadow leeches; hook blades; teeth
Quote: “We knew what to do with Toa on Destral – raw material for my Rahi, that’s what they were.”

Death at the Coliseum - Dark Mirror: Chapter 8

Chapter Eight
Takanuva crouched behind a wall, a wounded Lesovikk beside him. All around, Elemental Power bursts were flying, warriors were screaming and a disaster beyond his imagination was taking place. It had all started out so well: Lesovikk's van had made it close to the Coliseum before being spotted. As planned, Takanuva had used his new found Shadow powers to blind the guards. Pohatu followed with a massive fist of stone that cracked the walls of the huge structure. To the east, Makuta Teridax led Krika, Kojol, Turaga Dume and Takua into battle.

At first, they made short work of the Matoran and Toa who guarded Tuyet's fortress. Then it all went wrong: a Toa of Iron appeared on the walls and a hail of spikes spelt the end of Takua. Takanuva watched in sheer horror as his other self collapsed and died. Kojol fell next, his armor crushed by the Toa's power, and his essence incinerated by a Toa of Plasma. Teridax was forced to pull back.

Things were going no better for Lesovikk's squad. Primal had run into Tahu in the eastern entrance, and killed the Toa of Fire. But the sudden appearance of Gali, and a sphere of Water around the Dark Hunter's head left him to drown on dry land. Toa Krakua hit Gali with a wave of solid sound, blasting apart her mask and armor. Pohatu cried out too late: Ahkmou had already dashed ahead and slain the fallen Toa of Water. He didn't get to enjoy his triumph long. Kopaka flash-froze Akhmou, and a swipe from Onua's claws shattered the Matoran into little pieces of crystal and Protodermis.

Now it was no longer one battle, but a dozen seperate ones being fought at once, the lines moving back and forth. Pohatu fought his way into the Coliseum, but found himself too evenly matched with Onua to make much progress. Lesovikk fell with an Ice dagger in his shoulder, but rallied to blow Kopaka off his post high atop the Coliseum. Takanuva winced as the Toa of Ice hit the ground and lay still.

"Now," said Lesovikk to Takanuva, "Darkness will lead the way. Get in there and do what you have to."

"What about you?" asked Takanuva.

"We'll give them something to remember," said Lesovikk.

Takanuva took one last look around. Nuju was side-by-side with Guardian, keeping a Toa of Magnetism too off-balance to use his powers. Teridax's forces had charged again. Krika used his Vacuum power to absorb Lewa's attacks until Teridax had summoned a bolt of Lightning, powerful enough to turn a Toa into ashes.

Darkness was already on the move, slipping through the cracks in the Coliseum walls. Takanuva used his Shadow power to enlarge them and followed. Inside, the Coliseum was strangely silent. One would never know a battle raged outside its walls. A team of Toa rushed by on their way to join the fight. Steeling himself, Takanuva fired laser blasts at the ceiling, bringing the rubble down on top of them. He still found himself hoping he had only stunned them, not killed them. Together, Toa and Dark Hunter fought their way to their goal: the Hall of Masks. They had made it to the chamber door when Darkness paused. He heard something. The next instance, the door exploded outward as a wall of water erupted from within, sweeping Darkness away. Takanuva managed to grab hold of the doorway, holding on with all his might and holding his breath. Outside, Teridax's attack had met with success as Toa fell before him and Krika. Turaga Dume had rallied Lesovikk's group, although not before Nuju had been pulled into the Archives by plantlife gone wild. Guardian, too, fell, but took half a dozen Toa with him. Back in the Coliseum, the deluge had finally stopped. There, framed in the chamber doors was Toa Tuyet; Nui Stone in one hand, Mask of Dimensional Gates in the other.

"I know who you are," she said. "Or rather, I had guessed. You don't belong here."

"Neither do you," said Takanuva. "You don't exist in my world. True Toa must have stood up and stopped you before you went too far."

"In my world, I am much more... competent," she replied. "How unfortunate for you."

"Alright then," said Takanuva. "For Takua, for Lesovikk, and for all the Toa and Matoran whose lives you have ruined, I strike."
