'''Zaria''' is a [[Toa]] of [[Iron]] chosen to participate in a mission to seek out the [[Great Beings]].

== Biography ==
Zaria was a [[Fe-Matoran]], who eventually transformed into a Toa of Iron, and became a member of a Toa team at one point.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=320|post=12777}}

After the [[Brotherhood of Makuta]] rebelled against [[Mata Nui (Being)|the Great Spirit]], most of Zaria's fellow Toa of Iron were hunted and killed by the Brotherhood, leaving Zaria one of few to survive the genocide. Zaria was later forced to kill a [[Makuta]] during necessary circumstances, violating the [[Toa Code]]. The experience haunted him, and also sparked a rumor that he began murdering all of his enemies.{{OnlineCitation|TYQ|1}}

=== Teridax's Reign ===
Zaria joined the resistance after [[Teridax]] took over the [[Matoran Universe]]. He left the [[Great Spirit Robot]] in order to participate in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], fighting Teridax's [[Rahkshi]] and [[Skakdi]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=329|post=13148}} Teridax was ultimately killed by [[Mata Nui (Being)|Mata Nui]], who reformed the planet of [[Spherus Magna]].{{BookCitation|JE}}

=== Spherus Magna ===
Soon after the battle, Zaria was recruited, along with [[Orde]] and [[Chiara]], to fulfill Mata Nui's wish of locating the Great Beings. Using his elemental powers, Zaria quickly ended a quarrel between Chiara and Orde by controlling their mechanical parts and forcing them to sit down, allowing [[Onua]] to explain the mission [[Tahu]] had given them. [[Gelu]] arrived soon after and was revealed to be their guide.{{OnlineCitation|TYQ|1}}

While venturing into the [[Bota Magna]] region, Zaria and the rest of the team were ambushed by a group of [[Vorox]]. After Chiara burned through the net that trapped them, Zaria attempted to use his control over Iron to relieve the Vorox of their weapons. However, the Vorox retaliated and Zaria's armor was damaged by their weapons. The Vorox leader [[Kabrua]] ordered his allies to take the Toa and Gelu back to their city.{{OnlineCitation|TYQ|2}}

Zaria was taken with the others to the edge of the forest, where they were freed as part of a hunt planned by the Vorox. As they fled, Zaria planned an ambush for their pursuers and hid with Chiara, while Gelu and Orde lured the hunting party to them. However, Kabrua shut off the Toa's power, rendering Zaria unable to attack. Two Vorox stayed behind to prevent Zaria and Chiara from using their powers, while Kabrua and the rest of the pack resumed hunting Orde and Gelu.{{OnlineCitation|TYQ|3}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
As a Toa of Iron, Zaria possesses the ability to create, control, and absorb metallic [[Protodermis]] and all kinds of metal. His armor color variation is burnt orange and metallic gray.{{GregCitation|OGQ|page=1|post=27}}

Zaria is conflicted because of his past transgressions of the [[Toa Code]], and feels like an outcast. He is incredibly driven, but needs something productive to focus his prodigious energies, which is why he was chosen by Tahu to search for the Great Beings.{{OnlineCitation|TYQ|1}}
