The Order of Mata Nui is an extremely secretive organization that serves the will of Mata Nui, which was for a long time unknown to Toa, Turaga, and even the Brotherhood of Makuta itself. More recently, the Order revealed its existence to the universe and engaged the Brotherhood of Makuta in war.

History

Almost 100,000 years ago, the Hand of Artakha disbanded itself, due to the lack of discipline among its ranks. The members were scattered, and the Toa took the mantle as public defenders. One of the Hand's members, Toa Helryx, felt the need for a secretive organization dedicated to Mata Nui's will, and founded the Order of Mata Nui. She recruited many of the Hand's former members, and created the rule that no other Toa were to be allowed in the Order.

The Order continued to maintain the balance of the universe in secret, keeping their existence from the rest of the universe. Among other things, they experimented on Ehlek's species, and had Botar send many 'unredeemable' villains to the Pit. They also never openly intervened in any wars, preferring to come in during the aftermath. Due to their secrecy, they have no need to consider the morals of other beings in their quest to carry out the will of the Great Spirit, and as such can act without impunity. The nature of their organization has only been disclosed to a few beings.

Recently, the Order prepared to come out of hiding and wage war against the Brotherhood of Makuta. Members were recalled to Daxia and a message was sent to their spy in the Dark Hunters telling him to confront the Shadowed One. The original leader of the Brotherhood was recovered by Brutaka and his team, and Axonn and Brutaka later were sent to Zakaz to make a pact with the Skakdi. Helryx herself revealed the Order to the Toa Hagah and sent them in search of Teridax. The Order then participated in numerous campaigns against the Brotherhood on various islands, culminating in a massive struggle on Metru Nui that resulted in a Brotherhood defeat.

After Makuta Teridax took over the body of Mata Nui, he destroyed the Order's base, Daxia, using his powers over the universe. Many members of the Order were also killed, although some, such as Trinuma, have managed to survive.

The Kingdom

In The Kingdom Alternate Universe, the Order of Mata Nui revealed their existence after Mata Nui died. They then assisted in evacuating many of the Matoran Universe's beings to the island of Mata Nui. They also helped Toa Takanuva force the Makuta back underground when they attempted to make their way to the surface world. Soon after, the Order's leader, Helryx, became a member of Turaga Takanuva's ruling council.

Known Actions

  • Did experiments on Ehlek's species, hoping to create beings who could combat Makuta. The experiments were unsuccessful. It should be noted that the Order did not announce or introduce themselves in any way while doing this, so not their targets knew the identities of their benefactors, and therefore do not know of the Order's existence.

  • Used the Staff of Artakha to heal the damages done by the Great Cataclysm.
  • Placed Karzahni under heavy guard on Daxia while hoping to obtain useful information.
  • Captured the Piraka and held them for interrogation.
  • Freed Vezon from the Zyglak to take part of a team made of Brutaka, Spiriah, Roodaka, Lariska, Takadox, and Carapar and then sent them on a mission to find Miserix, the former leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta.
  • Sent Botar and Trinuma with a cache of weapons to equip Brutaka's team.

These beings are not actual Order of Mata Nui members, but serve and work with them:

  • Umbra - A being created by the Great Beings to guard the Kanohi Ignika.
  • Maxilos - A model of guardian robots stationed in The Pit.

    • Spinax - A mutated Energy Hound that used to belong to Hydraxon and later helped a Maxilos guard The Pit.
  • Mana Ko - Large crab-like Rahi that guard important Brotherhood of Makuta locations.
  • "Kratana" - A breed of creatures that can cause their wearers to see visions of the past and future.
  • A number of servants on the island of Stelt, through which the Order leaked word that they were turning the Great Furnace on Metru Nui into a virus works.

Former Servants

  • One Maxilos - Formerly possessed by Teridax, now destroyed.

Powers and Tools

Members of the Order of Mata Nui have no uniform powers (e.g. Kraata, Rahkshi, etc.), but due to the sensitive information they carry, all members are trained to have their minds shielded against telepathy and mental attack. Most members carry weapons made from Protosteel. Some of their equipment is provided by Artakha.

Depending on the role a member will have, he or she can receive a power upgrade when he or she enters the Order. This is achieved through experimentation. Axonn and Brutaka chose to get additional powers, while Hydraxon and Botar did not. The experiments have been known to go wrong, however, such as when the experiment Jerbraz took part in rendered him permanently invisible.

Quotes

"I have uprooted mountains, Toa. I have ridden the tornado and filled the earthquake with fear. When you were still toiling at your mundane Matoran chores, I and others like me were holding your universe together. Do you really believe your puny powers can threaten a member of the Order of Mata Nui?"
— Brutaka, Power Play
"Try to run, at any time, and friends of mine will hunt you down – friends who make me look like a big, cuddly Ussal crab."
— Brutaka to his teammates, Federation of Fear
"My name is Helryx. I run an organization you never heard of called the Order of Mata Nui. We are at war – and you've just been drafted."
— Helryx to the Toa Hagah, Dwellers In Darkness
