Backstory
Shelok was created as a Toa by the Great Beings, not long after Helryx. This was before the standards of the Matoran Species were decided upon by the Great Beings, and therefore he was classified as an Ancient Toa.
Not long after his creation, he joined the Hand of Artakha, and later, Helryx's Toa team, the Toa Artakha. When the Hand of Artakha disbanded, and Helryx founded the Order of Mata Nui, she invited the Toa Artakha to join the Order. Shelok gladly accepted.
Years later, Shelok helped the Toa Artakha during the Dimensional Relocation of Luna Magna, and assisted in collecting and hiding the many powerful artifacts displaced by the incident.
During the incident, Helryx was struck by a blast from an alternate-universe Spear of Fusion carried by the Vezon and Fenrakk from that universe. This separated the light and shadow aspects of Helryx's spirit into two separate beings - Helryx and Xyrleh. Shelok managed to kill the alternate-universe Vezon and Fenrakk using Lævateinn, the Sword of Destruction, and recovered the Spear of Fusion and the Kanohi Ignika he carried.
Later, Shelok heard news of Makuta Teridax's takeover of the Brotherhood of Makuta through connections he had with the Nynrah Ghosts. He, Glace, and Ayhax felt the need to investigate. However, Helryx disagreed. Unbeknownst to her, Shelok organized his own investigation, and recruited Glace and Ayhax's help.
Glace devised a plan to ambush the Brotherhood of Makuta and reverse the mutiny of Miserix, against Helryx's orders. However, the Brotherhood somehow anticipated their attack, and the three Toa Artakha were captured. In order to preserve the secrecy of the Order of Mata Nui, Glace sacrificed himself to free Shelok, who then used an Iron Nova Blast to annihilate their captors. Ayhax managed to escape, and returned to Helryx to report their failure.
Abilities & Tools
As a Toa of Iron, Shelok could create, control, and absorb any type of metal. As an Ancient Toa, he was one of the strongest and most experienced Toa of Iron ever created.
Like all other members of the Order of Mata Nui, Shelok's mind was shielded from mental attack.
Shelok possessed a large broadsword and shield, which he was masterfully skilled in using.
Shelok wore a Kanohi Kualsi, the Great Mask of Quick Travel.
Personality
Shelok was known as a most noble Toa. He was strong, commanding, and calculated in battle, although some would say he was very cold-hearted.
Trivia
Shelok was designed and built by community member The Watching Relic for the First Toa Team Contest. The Watching Relic won the contest to design Shelok, and his design was made the canon appearance of the character to the Knight of Nights Universe.
Shelok's theme is 'Ghostly Band ~ Phantom Ensemble,' which originates from the Touhou Project series as the theme for the Prismriver Sisters. He shares this theme with Glace and Khafu.
