Background Information
Turaga Vakama started his life as a Matoran, until he was given a Toa Stone, and was then changed into a legendary Toa. He later sacrificed his Toa powers to help revive all the Matoran of Metru Nui, who now lived on the island of Mata Nui, with their memory erased. Vakama then became a Turaga, one of the six wise elders and leaders of Mata Nui. After the Matoran and the island's Toa defeated Makuta Teridax, the six Turaga revealed to the Matoran about their past island, Metru Nui, and together, the Toa, the Matoran, and the Turaga returned to Metru-Nui, where they truly belonged.
