'''Vultraz''' was a malevolent [[Ta-Matoran]] from the [[Tren Krom Peninsula]]. He later became a [[Shadow Matoran]] who worked for the [[Brotherhood of Makuta]]. Vultraz is currently in the captivity of the [[Great Beings]] of [[The Melding Alternate Universe]].

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Whilst living on the Tren Krom Peninsula, Vultraz gained a reputation as a criminal. He killed [[Mazeka]]'s mentor to steal his research, which included theories about how the Great Spirit {{p|Mata Nui|Being}} created the [[Makuta]] species, and later murdered an entire village to obtain a rare lava-gem. These actions led Mazeka to wish to bring him to justice, and the two clashed many times. Five years ago, Mazeka managed to kick Vultraz over a cliff, seemingly to his death.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|1}}

=== Brotherhood of Makuta ===
Vultraz survived the fall, though he was incredibly damaged, and was saved by [[Rahi]] following Makuta [[Gorast]]. Gorast rebuilt him so he would no longer be recognizable and better suit her needs. She then tasked him with hunting down the [[Matoran]] [[Krakua]].{{OnlineCitation|BIA|2}}

Vultraz tracked down Krakua's village and used a device that amplified sound to knock out several [[De-Matoran]]. He then fought Mazeka, who recognized him by his fighting style.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|3}} Vultraz let Mazeka live, taunting him by stating that Mazeka would only ever live because he allowed it.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|4}}

Vultraz went on to act as a spy for Gorast, and specialized in spying on Matoran who had the potential of rebelling against the Brotherhood of Makuta.<ref>[http://biomediaproject.com/bmp/files/story/magazinecontent/EnglishUS/2004-2010%20LEGO%20BrickMaster/2008/4July/2008-07-05.jpg Servant of Shadow!] LEGO BrickMaster Magazine p. 18</ref>

Makuta [[Icarax]] used a [[Shadow Leech]] on Vultraz, making him the second Matoran to be transformed into a Shadow Matoran. Icarax also experimented on Vultraz.<ref name="vultraz">[http://web.archive.org/web/20081217105923/http://bionicle.lego.com/en-us/story/bios/matoran/Vultraz.aspx BIONICLE Bios - Vultraz] BIONICLE.com</ref> Shortly afterwards, Vultraz discovered a side entrance to [[Karda Nui]] in its western wall, but did not tell the Brotherhood of his discovery. When Gorast learned of this, she punished him with a blow that sent him careening into [[Mutran]]'s laboratory on [[Destral]].{{OnlineCitation|TMC|10}} Vultraz became a faithful servant of Makuta Icarax<ref name="vultraz"/> after he prevented Gorast from killing the Shadow Matoran.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=103|post=4108|lines=2,5}}

During the [[Siege of Karda Nui]], Icarax sent weak telepathic messages ordering Vultraz to come to Karda Nui. Knowing that Icarax was badly injured, Vultraz proceeded to Karda Nui, recovering the valuable tablets which he had stolen long ago to give to Icarax.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|7}} To aid him in his travels, he constructed a [[Skyfighter|vehicle]] and had its [[Midak Skyblaster]] modified by a [[Nynrah Ghosts|Nynrah Ghost]] on [[Stelt]] so it fired spheres of [[Shadow]] instead of [[Light]].<ref name="vultraz"/>{{GregCitation|FF|date=2008-10-24|item=5}} He then used the vehicle to attack a Matoran village, killing two and injuring twelve of the inhabitants, before departing for Karda Nui.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|4}}

Once in Karda Nui, Vultraz began searching for Icarax. However, he found his old nemesis, Mazeka, instead. Intending to defeat Mazeka once and for all, Vultraz pulled his vehicle into a power dive and raced towards Mazeka. Before the two could reach each other, a portal opened between them (created accidentally by [[Vezon]]),{{GregCitation|FF|date=2009-01-30|item=17}} and the two were sent through to an [[The Melding Alternate Universe|alternate universe]]. There, Vultraz managed to escape his Skyfighter as he plummeted towards a gigantic organism, which attacked him and destroyed the vehicle. Together with Mazeka, the two encountered alternate versions of [[Helryx]], a Matoran in that universe, and [[Macku]], a Toa, who explained that they were in a place named [[Spherus Magna]].{{OnlineCitation|BIA|7}}

Vultraz then accompanied Macku to the village of Ga-Koro. On their way there, Vultraz and Mazeka influenced her to tell the story of the Melding so that they could have an understanding as to where they were. Mazeka then inquired about a way to return home, and Macku directed them towards the [[Great Beings]] to assist them. Once she left, Mazeka confronted Vultraz about returning, for Vultraz decided he would rather stay and conquer Spherus Magna than return home.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|8}}

Macku then handed the two Matoran over to {{p|Teridax|The Melding Alternate Universe}}, who escorted them to the [[Valley of the Maze|fortress of the Great Beings]]. When they passed the alternate Icarax and Gorast at the gates of the fortress, Vultraz commented about her white armor and she lifted him off the ground and dropped him telekinetically. They eventually arrived in a council chamber, after being led there through a complicated route by Teridax, and were approached by the Great Beings. Teridax, at some point, had read Vultraz's mind, and discovered he was full of shadow. The Great Beings were shocked to discover this, and insisted on performing tests on him. In return for Mazeka's return to his universe, they chose to keep Vultraz for study. He was then captured by [[Chirox]] and [[Vamprah]].{{OnlineCitation|BIA|9}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Vultraz is selfish and uncaring of others, perfectly willing to kill as many as he needs to in order to get what he wants. If someone has something he wishes to have, then he will destroy their entire village to get hold of it.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|1}} He shows no remorse for the death he causes, and seems to take pleasure in punishing those who oppose him. He has a habit of spinning his blade before he makes a kill.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|4}}

As a Ta-Matoran, Vultraz possessed resistance to heat. This resistance was negated when his Light was removed, but he gained the ability to fire Shadow bolts.

=== Tools ===
Five years ago, Vultraz wielded an [[acid]] blade.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|1}} Makuta Gorast later gave Vultraz a razor-sharp sword and a [[Sound|sonic]] device that he used to incapacitate an entire village of De-Matoran.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=162|post=6471|lines=4,14}}{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=162|post=6469|lines=3,7}}

Vultraz rode a Skyfighter that he designed himself. He armed the vehicle with a stolen Midak Skyblaster modified to fire Shadow blasts.<ref name="vultraz"/>
