Here are the key details about the canon Bionicle character, Toa Krakua:

• Element: Sonics (Sound)

• Kanohi (Mask): The Great Suletu (Mask of Telepathy) 

• Affiliation: He was a loyal servant and later a member of the Order of Mata Nui, the secretive organization that upheld the will of the Great Spirit. 

• Role in Lore: He is known for being an essential agent for the Order of Mata Nui, using his Kanohi Suletu to read the minds of his enemies and stay ahead of the Brotherhood of Makuta. 

• Appearance: Krakua was featured in the Bionicle story serials and was one of the few fan-created Toa models to be officially declared canon by the Bionicle Story Team.

• Destiny: Toa Krakua first appears to Toa Vakama in a prophetic vision, showing a future where he is the lone hero defending a besieged island fortress, using his immense sonic power to shatter mountains. 

Artakha is one of the most powerful and enigmatic non-Toa beings in the Bionicle universe, a legendary master builder and creator second only to the Great Beings themselves.

He is not a Toa, but a unique, ancient entity created by the Great Beings, and he is often referred to in Matoran mythology as a figure of god-like power. 

Power and Abilities

Artakha's core power revolves entirely around creation, design, and foresight.

1. The Kanohi Mask of Creation

Artakha's greatest asset and source of his legendary status is the powerful, unnamed Great Kanohi Mask of Creation that he wears.

• Ability: The mask allows the user to envision a complete, complex object and instantly understand every detail of its construction. If the user already knows how to construct the item, they can manifest it from raw materials—or in some cases, even out of thin air. 

• Limitation: The mask cannot create something the user can't fully imagine or doesn't know how to build.

2. Innate Abilities

Aside from his mask, Artakha possesses immense innate power:

• Teleportation: He can teleport himself or objects across vast distances by warping space, though this ability could be blocked by the Great Spirit Robot's core systems. 

• Telepathy: His mental powers are exceptionally strong, capable of cutting through the formidable psychic defenses of entities like Tren Krom. 

• Creative Genius: He has an unparalleled talent for mechanical and architectural design. He is credited with influencing the design of cities across the Matoran Universe. 

Importance and Key Contributions

Artakha's importance to the Bionicle story is fundamental, as he is the direct creator of several of the universe's most crucial elements.

1. The Creator of Heroes

Artakha was directly responsible for building the very first and most important Toa team:

• The Toa Mata: Artakha was instructed to create the six Toa Mata (Tahu, Gali, Lewa, Onua, Pohatu, and Kopaka) to act as a failsafe should anything happen to the Great Spirit Mata Nui. He built them, placed them in stasis, and equipped them with their equipment. 

2. Artifacts and Equipment

He is the designer and creator of numerous legendary artifacts: 

• The Kanohi Avohkii (Mask of Light): The mask worn by Takanuva, which was stolen from Artakha's island by the Brotherhood of Makuta.

• The Nuva Cube and Nuva Symbols: Artifacts used by the Toa Nuva. 

• The Adaptive Armor: He provided the Toa Nuva with their Adaptive Armor during their mission in Karda Nui (the Toa Phantoka and Toa Mistika forms).

• Vehicles: He created the sophisticated vehicles used in Karda Nui, such as the Rockoh T3, Jetrax T6, and Axalara T9. 

3. Brotherly Conflict

Artakha is the "brother" and benevolent counterpart to the villainous Karzahni, who wears the Mask of Alternate Futures and rules the equally feared realm of Karzahni. Artakha defeated Karzahni in a contest for the Mask of Creation, establishing the two as polar opposites—the master builder and the master destroyer. 

In short, Artakha is a withdrawn but immensely powerful figure whose creations, from the original six Toa to the Mask of Light itself, drove the core events of the Bionicle mythology.

The Order of Mata Nui is one of the most powerful and secretive organizations in the Bionicle universe, operating behind the scenes to safeguard the Great Spirit Mata Nui and the entire Matoran Universe from threats, particularly the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Here is an overview of their goals and key known members.

Primary Goals of the Order of Mata Nui

The entire mission of the Order revolves around the safety and well-being of the Great Spirit Mata Nui, and by extension, the entire world contained within him.

  1. Protect the Great Spirit Mata Nui: This is their central, overriding mandate. They were founded specifically to ensure that the Great Spirit Robot functioned as intended and that Mata Nui's life was protected.

  2. Maintain Order and Justice: The Order acts as a shadow government and military force, addressing threats that the public heroes (the Toa) cannot, either because the threats are too great, too secretive, or require morally ambiguous actions.

  3. Contain the Brotherhood of Makuta: The Order viewed the Makuta as traitors and a direct threat to Mata Nui. Much of their work involves counterintelligence, monitoring the Makuta's movements, and actively fighting them in secret.

  4. Secrecy: Their existence was a closely guarded secret for millennia. They deliberately kept themselves hidden so that they could execute sensitive missions without public knowledge or interference, allowing the Toa to remain the public face of good.

Known Members of the Order of Mata Nui

The Order has hundreds of members from various species across the Matoran Universe, each recruited for their unique skills, power, and unwavering commitment to the cause. Recruitment required members to surrender their personal lives for the sake of Mata Nui.
