[carve] Biography

Tren Krom was initially created by the Great Beings and placed in Karda Nui to temporarily run the Matoran Universe while they finished their work. Once Mata Nui was created, Tren Krom was no longer needed, and was approached by a Matoran of Light who informed him that his job was complete. Afterwards, Tren Krom was removed from the universe core and sealed away by the Great Beings, permanently fused to the island they placed him on so that he could not leave.

The Brotherhood of Makuta once wished to seek out Tren Krom to ensure he was not a threat to them. The Makuta Mutran was chosen to go to his island and investigate. When he arrived, Mutran was confronted by Tren Krom, who then merged their minds to search through Mutran's thoughts. As a result, Mutran learned not only what Tren Krom truly is, but how the universe works, and even why it does. Afterwards, he fell unconscious, and when he awoke, he realized he had the key to aiding Teridax in overthrowing the Great Spirit.

When Order of Mata Nui member Brutaka and his team arrived on the island to retrieve a hidden weapons cache, they were attacked by Tren Krom. He attacked out of loneliness and a desire to know what had happened to his universe after his exile. Tren Krom himself was forced to stay inside the cave as he was fused to the ground while the stone of the island was manipulated to suppress the group. Then, he pulled Brutaka into the cave with a tentacle. He interrogated Brutaka and attempted to probe his mind, but Brutaka's mental training prevented him from doing so. He then informed Brutaka and his team, who had followed Brutaka into the cave, of his origin and what his purpose was. Lariska began protesting their imprisonment, and was then grabbed by Tren Krom, who probed her mind and learned all of what had happened to the universe.

Meanwhile, Carapar attempted to sneak up on Tren Krom and kill him. However, a third eye grew on Tren Krom, and from it shot out an energy beam that completely disintegrated Carapar. Outraged at the murder attempt and of the fate of a universe he still saw as his, he instilled horrible visions in the minds of the remaining beings. He then ordered them to leave, claiming that the fate of the universe was what they deserve and far worse than anything he could do to them.

[carve] Abilities and Traits

Tren Krom is said to possess great power nearing that of Mata Nui. He has displayed telepathic abilities, through which he can read a being's thoughts, and they in turn have access to his. Tren Krom has the ability to create a third eye and emit a beam from this eye which can dissolve a target into dust.

Tren Krom is described as being a horrifying and despicable being in appearance and primal in nature. He is fully organic and his scarlet body is covered with tentacles coated with sharp hooks. His eyes appear to simply be holes inlaid into a gelatinous skull. He was implied to look so terrible that anyone who saw him was likely to become insane. Even Brutaka had to struggle to hold on to his sanity after seeing Tren Krom.

[carve] Quotes

"You think me an alien...an 'other'...But I am of the substance of this universe, and I walked here long before you or even Mata Nui himself."
— Tren Krom, Federation of Fear
"...it was a view into a mind as far beyond mine as mine is beyond a fireflyer's..."
— Mutran's description of Tren Krom's mind, The Mutran Chronicles
"Tren Krom is no myth. He is older than the stars themselves, born in a time when there was no Mata Nui, no Makuta, only never-ending darkness that encompassed all. He walked through a universe in the throes of its birth, and even the shadows feared him."
— Mutran, The Mutran Chronicles
"Before the Great Spirit Mata Nui was born, the Great Beings created one being who was purely organic. They taught me the ways of the universe they were creating and they placed me in its core. There I was to remain, maintaining the heat, the light, all the forces that made their creation whole..."
— Tren Krom, Federation of Fear
"I helped to birth a world of order. But from what I have seen in the female's mind...you have turned it into a universe of madness and fear. It is not worth saving. But it is the universe you and your kind deserve. Take yourselves from my prison...take your memories and plans with you...for the horrors already in your minds are worse than any I could visit upon you. I condemn you to your fate-–life in the universe you and your kind have made."
— Tren Krom, Federation of Fear
