Biography

Pre-Dark Hunters

Hakann was a thief from his home island of Zakaz. He learned, from a tall winged Dark Hunter, that an artifact of value was hidden in a Toa Fortress. He teamed up with another Skakdi, Vezok in an attempt to steal the artifact, but Vezok had Hakann fight off an army of Toa, while he obtained the artifact. The Dark Hunter Ancient, who later would coin the phrase 'Piraka' for them, captured Vezok escaping with the Makoki Stone (the artifact), and also rounded up Hakann.

Dark Hunters

When they were taken to Odina, Hakann witnessed Gladiator defeat Sidorak in a battle. Afterwards, he was forced to fight Lariska. When he turned away, thinking he had defeated her, she got up and put a dagger against his throat. When The Shadowed One asked Vezok what should be done with Hakann, he stated "Kill him." That was apparently the right answer, for he then turned to Lariska and stated "Let him go. They have both passed the test." Hakann always despised Lariska for this.

Later, Hakann played a very important part in the rebellion against The Shadowed One, led by Zaktan in which all the future Piraka (except Avak) participated. He rounded up all the Dark Hunters loyal to The Shadowed One and summoned them to a secret meeting to discuss security concerns. Hakann slipped out, and then gathered a dozen powerful guards and informed them that a group of traitors was meeting secretly (the loyalists). Unfortunately, it was revealed by Darkness that The Shadowed One knew about the plan, and the future Piraka were caught and punished for their failed rebellion.

During the Toa/Dark Hunter War in Metru Nui, Hakann spotted Lhikan watching Lariska convince Toa Nidhiki to betray the other Toa. He took his revenge on her by convincing Toa Lhikan not to slaughter the Dark Hunter contingent in exchange for the Makoki Stone back. Lhikan agreed, and when Lariska returned to Odina, she was disgraced for her failure by The Shadowed One.

Piraka

When Hakann arrived in Mangaia, investigating rumors that Makuta Teridax had been defeated by a Toa, he, along with the other Piraka, found the crushed remains of the Teridax's armor buried under tons of rock. Surprisingly, there was no sign of organic tissue anywhere in the armor. After investigating more of the chamber, he found a deadly looking spear. He then pointed it at Vezok, and at that moment, a bolt of energy leaped out of it and struck Vezok. A second later, two beings stood where one was before. The other being was named Vezon. Unbeknownst to them, Teridax, who was still in his lair in energy form, placed a idea in their minds, that there was a Mask of Life somewhere, and they had to steal it. Moments later, two Mana Ko attacked them. Vezok then tricked Hakann into distracting the two beasts while the others escaped. This worked for some time, until Hakann caught up with them. The Mana Ko started to blast the Piraka with energy bolts, all the while making holes in the wall for Hakann and the rest to escape. When they found a tunnel leading upwards and climbed it, the two Mana Ko didn't follow. They emerged on Mata Nui and made a plan to get the mask. As a back-up in case they failed, Hakann discreetly sent a courier Rahi to The Shadowed One informing him of where they were going and what they were doing, so he could get back into The Shadowed One's good graces. The Piraka decided to travel in the Toa Canisters. Hakann, however, sabotaged Vezok's Canister, sealing it shut so he couldn't escape. When Hakann arrived on Voya Nui, he was met by Balta. Balta took him to the village, but on the way, Hakann demonstrated his powers by using a mental blast on a herd of Kikanalo 'blocking his view'. Hakann then directed the Matoran to begin drilling in Mount Valmai and siphoning off lava streams. Since the Piraka believed the mountain housed the Kanohi Ignika, they intended to drain it of lava, then climb in, snatch the mask, and get out.

Hakann and Avak noticed that some of the Matoran laborers were starting to grow rebellious about their tasks, and combined their elements to create a beast of Fire and Stone, which Hakann controlled to attack the Matoran. Seconds later, the two Piraka challenged the beast, and Avak fought it, bringing the Matoran to safety, then "defeating" the "threat". They were hailed as heroes, but Garan and Balta followed the two, hearing how they talked of tricking the Matoran. The two snuck away to plan the Voya Nui Resistance Team. Soon after, Hakann sent Dezalk on a mission into the mountains for resources, only to have him captured by the other Piraka. Zaktan infected him, and got Dezalk to gather the entire population in their village. Hakann and the other five Piraka showed up armed with Zamor Spheres, and infected the entire population, except for the Voya Nui Resistance Team. Around this time the Toa Nuva arrived, and drew the Piraka into a fight. Hakann and the others quickly crushed the unprepared Toa Nuva, and Zaktan ordered them to take the Nuva masks and weapons, then throw them into the volcano.

The Piraka did this, but were forced to abandon their captives outside of the volcano due to an eruption. Zaktan then met with Brutaka and gained him as an ally by giving him some of the Antidermis. Hakann observed this, and followed Brutaka for several hours before Brutaka used his Kanohi Olmak and teleported behind Hakann, sword at his throat. Hakann convinced Brutaka that together they could destroy Zaktan and Brutaka could have all the Antidermis he wanted. They proceeded to the Piraka Stronghold, and arrived in the middle of chaos — Avak had imprisoned Zaktan in a sonic cage, with all his Protodites trapped together. Brutaka began to attack Thok and Avak, with Hakann watching from the side. Reidak snuck around him, and realizing Hakann was behind the brawl somehow, threw Hakann straight at Avak, freeing Zaktan. The Toa Nuva then arrived, and Hakann, Thok, Reidak, and Avak weren't inclined to fight them, realizing they could defeat Zaktan for them. But Brutaka, still loyal to Zaktan, felled the Toa Nuva in one stroke and carried them away.

Hakann fought a brief battle with Zaktan, but he was defeated and buried under tons of rock. He awakened, came up with a plan to get rid of Zaktan, but realized that he needed the support of other Piraka to do it. Conveniently, Avak, Reidak, and Thok showed up, although they all showed no interest in even looking at him. When he finally got their attention and briefed them on the plan, it was ready to go into action. Hakann and the others worked hard to craft part of Vezok's power into a Zamor Sphere. This sphere was designed to siphon power away from the target into the launcher/launchers. They weren't prepared for when the six Toa Inika arrived on the island. The Inika infiltrated the Piraka Fortress and prepared to destroy the Antidermis canister when the Piraka and Brutaka walked in on them. A massive brawl ensued, with Hakann confronting Toa Jaller and telling him that, deep down, the Toa only do things for the fame of the Matoran and are no better then Piraka. Hakann then launched his custom Zamor at Brutaka, intending to betray the others and obtain a great amount of power, but at the last minute Thok grabbed Hakann and shared the flow of power. The two super-Piraka proceeded to use their enhanced powers to imprison and crush all of the Piraka and Toa Inika except for Nuparu and Zaktan, who had left the chamber in their battle.

The two Piraka forced Brutaka to reveal the location of the Mask of Life, then headed to the jungle to find the entrance. Thok thought of eliminating Hakann, but before he had a chance, Hakann shot Thok with his Lava Launcher, causing the entire area to go up in flames. Thok coldly responded by using his animation abilities, and controlling all of the nearby terrain and land to rise up and attack Hakann. The red Piraka responded by launching lava spheres to make smoke, so Thok couldn't see Hakann. But Thok used his vision powers to force Hakann into the dirt. Just then, Hakann used his heat vision to target a pocket of volcanic gas, causing a massive explosion. Noticing the chaos, the Toa Inika and other Piraka arrived to deal with their rogue comrades. Their battle ended when Hewkii shot the two Piraka with a Zamor designed to return Brutaka's power to its owner, while at the same time Hakann and Thok blasted the Toa Inika and Piraka into submission.

Zaktan gathered the Piraka, and headed into the entrance to the Chamber of Life. They wandered down, recalling their past, until Hakann's armor was nearly melted off of him. He froze in fear as Irnakk arrived. After a furious skirmish between the Piraka and Irnakk, which ended with only Zaktan standing, Hakann and the others recovered and moved along. Not long down the path, they were imprisoned in stone canisters with single latch inside each. The voice of a Great Being stated that if they all press their buttons at the same time, they will be released, but if one presses his before the others, that one will go on and the others will die. Reidak betrayed them by pressing it beforehand, causing all the Piraka to plummet into mutagen-filled water. Vezok discovered a way out, and the Piraka swam through it, reaching a bridge spanning a lava chasm. They set a few traps, then proceeded. At this point, the six Toa Inika closed in hot pursuit, but Kongu decided he would try to to send the Piraka into the lava chasm with a windstorm. But it destroyed the bridge, leaving the Inika stranded on the other side. When they thought they had won, Hakann and the other five proceeded into the Chamber of Life.

When they entered, they were surprised to see that Vezon, bound to a monstrous creature, Fenrakk and the Mask of Life, unable to unbind himself from either, was guarding the chamber. Avak imprisoned the monstrosity in a cage that even Fenrakk couldn't break. The others, especially Hakann, tried to negotiate with Vezon, asking what to do. Vezon brightly said that they could kill Vezok, and the Piraka assumed it meant that he would give them the Mask of Life if they did kill him. Hakann restrained Vezok, but Vezok recovered and used a borrowed mental blast to knock Avak into unconsciousness. Vezon then fused Reidak and Vezok together into the Piraka Fusion, which knocked out the other Piraka.

When they all awakened, they found that the Mask of Life in the hands of the Toa Inika. Before they could fight the Toa, the Kardas Dragon blasted the Ignika aside, and the mask flew through the air, out of the cavern, onto the surface, and into the sea. The Piraka took off in hot pursuit after the Toa Inika and mask, but found that the mask was beyond even the Toa of Water's reach. They were about to attack the Inika when they spotted them near the beach and the Toa Nuva, Axonn, and a tall titan carrying a defeated Brutaka, heading toward them. As a result, Hakann and the others retreated to hiding, waiting for a good time to retrieve the Mask of Life.

However, due to an encounter with the Pit Mutagen, Hakann and the other Piraka were mutated into having only their spines and faces. They slithered into The Cord, where they murdered a group of Zyglak. They later ambushed the Toa Mahri, during which Hakann attempted kill Hahli by squeezing her to death, although it proved unsuccessful. Hakann was later defeated by Axonn, and was taken for interrogation by the Order of Mata Nui. He is currently imprisoned in a water tank on Daxia. After the destruction of Daxia following Teridax's takeover Hakann's status is unknown.

Abilities and Traits

The most unpredictable of the Piraka, Hakann has a huge ego and is casually cruel, even to the other Piraka. For example, he tried to sabotage Vezok's Canister on the way to Voya Nui, unsuccessfully. He was also a merciless slave driver of the Matoran working at Voya Nui's Lake of Lava. He seems to have an intense dislike for Rahi of all kinds. He prefers to be a follower (at least for now), having believed that eventually Zaktan will mess up and he can take over. Hakann's biggest weakness is his spitefulness which has made him quite unpopular with the other Piraka — if there’s one Piraka they’d all like to put an end to, it’s him. Hakann is resistant to extreme heat. In fact, he loves the heat — he just can't get enough of it. Hakann's vision power is heat vision. He also has the power to create devastating mental blasts, which attacks an enemy's mind instead of his body.

Tools

Hakann carried a weapon armed on one end with an energy claw, which has the ability to shock those it grabs, and on the other with a Lava Launcher, which shoots molten lava. He also carried a Zamor Launcher.

Since his mutation, Hakann has lost his Zamor Launcher and has since abandoned his Lava Launcher.

Set Information
