Biography

Toa

Very little has been revealed of Pouks's life before his recruitment into the Toa Hagah. What is known, however, was that he was active as a Toa for quite some time beforehand, operating as a member of another Toa team. When the Brotherhood of Makuta decided that the Makuta necessitated bodyguards, Pouks was selected as the representative Toa of Stone on the elite guard team assigned to protect the leader of the Brotherhood, Teridax. He was endowed with metallic armor to indicate his status as an elite Toa, and his former teammates presented him with his current Kanohi as a badge of honor.

Toa Hagah

Pouks' new Toa team dutifully performed their task for the next few centuries, guarding Teridax and opposing and annialating all external threats. Later however, the Toa Hagah uncovered the horrible truth; the Brotherhood was actually enslaving and oppressing Matoran for their own selfish ends. Banding together, the Toa Hagah then raided a Brotherhood of Makuta base in an effort to acquire the Avohkii which had previously been stolen from its makers on Artakha by Makuta Kojol. In the process, all of the Toa except for Norik and Iruini were captured by the Brotherhood's forces. Pouks and the other three Toa were mutated by Roodaka into diminutive, Rahkshi-esque creatures, dubbed "Rahaga" (a blend of the words "Rahkshi" and "Hagah") by Roodaka, and locked up. They were eventually rescued by their allies Norik and Iruini, after the two banded together to rescue their teammates. During the escape, their rescuers were also mutated into Rahaga at the hands of Roodaka. However, all of the Rahaga managed to escape with the Avohkii.

After being mutated to their monstrous forms, Pouks and the other Rahaga proceeded in launching small sabotage missions against the Visorak branch of the Brotherhood's army.

Fifty years prior to the coming of the Toa Metru, the Rahaga arrived in the city of Metru Nui. Establishing a small base in the Archives, they watched helplessly as Makuta Teridax slowly gained control of the city.

They witnessed the rise of the Toa Metru, led by Toa Vakama, and the defeat of Teridax. The Toa Metru left the wrecked city, only for it to be soon overrun with Visorak. The Toa returned to the city, were captured, and were hung in cocoons thousands of feet above the city streets.

The Toa were mutated into savage Toa Hordika in there cocoons, and dropped from their perches by the ruthless King and Viceroy of the Visorak, Sidorak and Roodaka. The Rahaga were able to save the Toa Metru from being disposed of by the Visorak, and told the heroes how to revert themselves to their original forms. Understanding something about bestial appearances, the Rahaga were able to connect with the Toa Hordika, and teach them about their inner darkness.

The Toa Hordika then embarked on a mission save themselves, and the thousands of sleeping Matoran under the Coliseum. The only way to transport the massive amounts of Matoran was to travel them by Airship. As all Airships had since been reduced to rubble by the Great Cataclysm, they needed to construct some themselves, and in order to do so, they needed to acquire Levitation Kanoka disks, a key component. While searching for levitation disks in Po-Metru with Toa Onewa, Pouks stumbled upon Krahka, under the guise of a Stone Snake.

After a brief conversation about the fate of her race, Krahka transformed into a replica of Roodaka. Pouks, unimpressed, continued the conversation but was knocked unconscious when Krahka threw him against a rock. When Toa Onewa showed up, they continued the conversation, in which Onewa tossed a few insults at Krahka.

Realizing how powerful Roodaka was, Krahka traveled with Onewa and Pouks to Ta-Metru to meet a 'friend', the Tahtorak. While Krahka shapeshifted into a replica of Onewa, Pouks and the real Onewa went to Le-Metru. Pouks then witnessed the fight between the Tahtorak and the Zivon, while fighting with the Toa Hordika for control of the Visorak Tower, the aftermath of which resulted in the disappearance of the Zivon, Tahtorak, and Krahka into the Zone of Shadows. After the battle, they held a conference, where all the Toa Hordika shared the information they had discovered, and the events they had experienced.

Pouks, along with the other Rahaga (except for Norik) were later captured by Vakama, who had succumbed to his animalistic impulses, and joined with Roodaka. They were bound in Visorak webbing, and taken to the Coliseum. They were later freed by Norik, during the siege on the Coliseum, during which Vakama realized his errors, and returned to the light, with the help of Matau. After Vakama disbanded the hordes, and Teridax had spirited Roodaka away, Pouks assisted the construction of Airships and the transportation of the Matoran Spheres.

Afterwards, they left Metru Nui to go assist other victims of the Visorak. They returned briefly to the city to welcome back the Matoran, and acquaint themselves with the Toa Nuva, but departed to continue their mission soon after. Recently, the Rahaga went to aid the land of Xia (despite it being the homeland of their archenemy, Roodaka), which was being ravaged by the ongoing battle of two monstrous Rahi. They arrived to find Roodaka in the custody of their allies, the Toa Nuva, and the Nuva forced her to turn the Rahaga back into the Toa Hagah.

Hunt for Teridax

After they were transformed back into Toa Hagah and Bomonga had wrestled the Tahtorak to the ground, Pouks bound the Rahi in Stone. Pouks then came to where Gaaki was sitting down and expressed concern for his comrade after she underwent the traumatic experience of receiving a vision through her Mask of Clairvoyance. When an armada of Dark Hunter ships arrived, Iruini teleported to the flagship, leaving the other Toa behind on Xia. Shortly after, they themselves were teleported there by an Order of Mata Nui member. The Order's leader, Helryx, introduced herself and told the Toa Hagah that they had just been recruited into their war against the Brotherhood. The other Toa Hagah disagreed with being forced to do something, Pouks was more accepting and asked what their mission was. Upon being informed that they were to be taken to Teridax by Zaktan, they agreed to the mission, but not before Gaaki had another disturbing vision, one that revealed that a member of their party would not return from where their quest would lead them.

Pouks and the other Toa Hagah then traveled to Metru Nui on Zaktan's advice, the Piraka informing them that Teridax had traveled to a realm deep beneath the city that they could only acess by destroying the Coliseum and carving a tunnel through the foundations - or so Zaktan suggested. The attempt led to a battle with the Toa Mahri, followed by a struggle with an enormous Rahi beast. Pouks, Hewkii, Norik, and Jaller then used their powers to carve a tunnel through the ground beneath the Coliseum while the other Toa lifted the huge structure, and Pouks then worked with Norik to seal the tunnel behind them as they went.

Upon venturing further, the team came across a inscription on the wall in a dialect which none of them could realize. Pouks suddenly brought on the fact that their mission had been going well, and as if that triggered the traps, the Hagah were magnetically forced to the ceiling, while molten Protodermis rushed down to destroy them.

Suddenly a section of the tunnel was torn out by Makuta Miserix who took the form of a huge lizard. Using his teleportation powers, the Hagah and Zaktan were soon in another chamber, this time accompanied by a sized down version of the form Miserix had taken in their rescue. While the other Hagah talked to Miserix, Pouks attempted copying the Makuta's power, although he was slashed across the face by the dragon, who claimed he 'didn't like being imitated'. Miserix then walked off deeper in the tunnels. The Hagah followed, and they soon came across a room filled with machinery, and two corpses. Curious, Miserix tore off a section of one of the corpse's armor, and with surprise he found out that it was not made of Protodermis. However, they were interrupted by a portal which had erupted out of air, which several beings had begun stepping out of.

Several beings entered the room through different portals, eventually adding four more allies to their team; Toa Helryx, Axonn, Brutaka, and Keetongu. Teridax then revealed his presence, and informed the assembled party of the current state of affairs.

After killing Zaktan and Miserix, as well as transporting Axonn, Brutaka, and Keetongu to the farthest reaches of the universe, Teridax bestowed upon the Hagah a blissful vision, one where they had defeated him, and where peace and happiness would lay before them wherever they went. The Hagah departed the chamber in high spirits, unaware of the true nature of the events that had transpired.

Dark Mirror

In the Toa Empire Alternate Universe, Pouks assisted in the defeat and murder of Brutaka. When Brutaka turned to fight the Toa of Stone and Gaaki, Bomonga dealt a blow from behind and killed him.

Abilities and Traits

As a Toa of Stone, Pouks can create, control, and absorb stone. These abilities were lost when he was turned into a Rahaga, but he has since regained his powers.

Pouks is known to be loud and boisterous and believes in plain speaking and taking direct action rather than sneaking around. He worked on capturing the largest land Rahi with his lasso spinners, then would use his staff to leave an invisible mark so they could be tracked later. He truly loves the massive beasts and can teach others how to befriend them.

Mask and Tools

As a Toa, Pouks carries a spear and a Rhotuka Launching Shield, as was customary of his team. He wears a mask which allows him to analyze and copy a being's powers, although it happens at a slow rate.

As a Rahaga, Pouks could use his staff to leave an invisible mark on the Rahi so they could be tracked later. His Rhotuka was his bolo spinner, which could entangle Rahi in bonds of energy to bring them down.
