Story

Quest for the Masks

Kopaka first awoke on Mata Nui after drifting in the sea for a thousand years in a canister, summoned to the island unwittingly by Takua. He almost immediately met Matoro on the bleak shore of Ko- Wahi. He was brought to Turaga Nuju in Ko- Koro, and was told the story of the Great Spirit, Makuta and his mission- to recover (alongside 6 other Toa) each a great Kanohi mask. When finding the Mask of Strength on Mount Ihu, he met fellow Toa Pohatu and encountered a Kane-ra bull. He recovered the mask, he and Pohatu then found the other assembled Toa. Despite Lewa's humour, Gali's optimism and Tahu's anger, he agrred to work with them. Later in Ta- Wahi, he was hit on the head and had a vision about Toa Kaita Wairuha. After collecting the Great Masks with the others, he (along with the others) was granted a Golden Mask of his original type, granting them the power to combat Makuta. After merging with Gali and Lewa to form Toa Kaita Wairuha and defeat the Manas. After defeating the Shadow Toa conjured by Makuta, the Toa then left Makuta's lair and emerged in Ta- Wahi.

The Bohrok Swarms

After emerging in Ta- Wahi, the six Toa were immediately flung into battle with the Bohrok swarms assaulting Ta- Koro. The Toa then split up to collect the eight breeds of Krana and defeat the Bahrag queens of the Swarms. later in the mountains of Ko- Wahi, he discovered that the Bohrok were coming out from underground due to tracking a Pahrak Va to a large circle of stones. and a large group of Tahnok emerging. Later the Toa traveled underground, and were confronted by the bahrag in a vast cavern.They then sealed the Bahrag in a protodermis prison, before being sent down into a pool of liquid protodermis. They then emerged as the new Toa Nuva.

Personality and traits

As a Toa, Kopaka preferred to work alone. When meeting Pohatu, Kopaka only agreed to work together after their encounter with a Kane- Ra. Tahu hated Kopaka, and once called him 'The Toa of Doing His Own Thing'. Kopaka also rescued Tahu from the Bohrok nest; simultaneously destroying it. Kopaka could be a powerful ally at times.

Equipment

As a Toa, Kopaka carried an Ice Sword that could freeze any substance it touched. He also carried and Ice Shield that doubled as a snowboard. He wore the Kanohi Akaku, the Great Mask of X-Ray Vision.
