Biography
"Conjurer" is a member of the Shadowed One's species who participated in the civil war on their home island until his newly whetted appetite for conquest led him to leave in search of another land that he could rule himself. His search brought him to an island populated by Matoran, who he awed by utilizing advanced technology that he described as 'magic' and became revered as a king-like figure in their society. Despite this conquest, Conjurer soon grew dissatisfied with this island because the Matoran there did not have the ability to conquer other lands, so when the Shadowed One approached him with an offer to join the Dark Hunters to expand his power, Conjurer readily accepted, plotting to take over the organization himself.
However, the Shadowed One was well aware of Conjurer's ambitions and used this knowledge to keep Conjurer in line, though he did cut off Conjurer's tail to punish him for his insubordination.
Shortly before the reawakening of Mata Nui, Conjurer used his power absorption Rhotuka to attempt to absorb the power of the Makuta of Stelt, but the Makuta's sheer power overloaded Conjurer's system and sent him into a coma.
When the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the still-comatose Conjurer was evacuated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna.
Overview
Personality and attributes
Like most living beings native to the Matoran Universe, Conjurer is a biomechanical lifeform whose body consists of both organic and metallic protodermis. He was incredibly ambitious and had a tendency to make his victories, no matter how minor, look as spectacular as possible in order to maintain the facade of his grandiosity. This led some Dark Hunters to believe Conjurer had the powers he claimed to, though the Shadowed One knew better. For reasons unknown, Conjurer has a strong dislike of water.
Powers and abilities
Conjurer possesses natural powerful telekinetic abilities and is able to generate Rhotuka that temporarily steal his opponent's power and channel it into himself, though he can only handle a limited amount of power. He wields a staff with disintegration powers and a Rhotuka Launcher.
