Fe-Matoran

Backstory

Parax was a Fe-Matoran originally from the Island of Nynrah. He was a prominent member of the Nynrah Ghosts, a secretive group of weapon builders who came to be shunned by their fellow Fe-Matoran for their bizarre and sometimes cruel technological experiments.

As the Nynrah Ghost's reputation worsened, Parax grew reluctant to continue working alongside them, although the lucrative business they shared was ultimately keeping him around. That was until the Brotherhood of Makuta commissioned the Nynrah Ghosts to modify their armor to accommodate their now gaseous, Antidermis bodies.

Seeing what the Makuta had become was the last straw for Parax, and he left the group to start his own, more ethical venture. Over the following many years, he would find and recruit Fe-Matoran to his ranks, including Kronos and Knoxus. Sticking to traditional weapon manufacturing as a business model, Parax saw less profit, but more fulfilment in his new occupation - a sentiment echoed by his employees.

Eventually, Parax's caravan settled a small base of operations on the shores of Stelt, where they would work out of for years to come.

Eventually, word of Parax's caravan spread back to the Brotherhood of Makuta, who were aware of his falling out with the Nynrah Ghosts. Seeing this as an opportunity to eliminate additional possible Toa of Iron, the Brotherhood planned a coordinated strike against Parax's caravan.

Parax managed to spot the Brotherhood ambush moments before the attack started, and successfully warned his comrades to prepare for battle. As the Makuta's fire rained upon the camp, Parax rescued Knoxus from a Makuta by firing his Nynrah Ghostblaster at the attacker. However, Parax quickly became a target, and he was promptly struck by a shadow blast.

With his dying breath, Parax hinted to Knoxus to utilize his prototype rocket gauntlets against the flying Makuta. As his heartlight went out, Knoxus retrieved Parax's Ghostblaster, which he carried on to use for many years.

Abilities & Tools

As a Fe-Matoran, Parax had very limited control over Iron.

Parax typically carried a spear and a Nynrah Ghost Blaster. He was skilled in the use of both, but typically only carried the spear to be used as a symbol of authority over his caravan.

Parax wore a Kanohi Matatu, the Noble Mask of Telekinesis, which he was unable to use as a Matoran.

Personality

Parax was often jolly and outgoing, and clearly enjoyed his job. His employees found him extremely charismatic and inspiring, which, thanks to his no-nonsense attitude, gained him their respect. 

While Parax led the caravan, he treated those he led as equals, often even deferring leadership to those with he believed had more experience in certain things.

Trivia

Parax was depicted in the art of Knight of Nights before his MOC was built, therefore his appearance is entirely based on TESLU's depiction of the character.

Parax uses the theme 'The Tiger Patterned Vaisravana' which originates from the Touhou Project series as the theme for Shou Toramaru.
