Biography

The Dark Hunter codenamed "Minion" was created by the Brotherhood of Makuta through one of their many experiments with Rahi. The Brotherhood reputedly put him to work as an enforcer and continued to experiment on him to increase his effectiveness in the meantime, but, unbeknownst to them, Minion gained sentience somewhere along the way. He used his status as a mere Rahi to learn the secrets of the Makuta, planning to use the knowledge someday. (BIONICLE: Dark Hunters)

1300 years ago, Minion used the confusion caused by the Toa Hagah's rebellion against the Brotherhood to escape Destral. He arrived on Odina and was recruited into the Dark Hunters, but either would not or could not talk. This frustrated the Shadowed One, who was unsure whether the Brotherhood's experiments on Minion had left him unable to speak or whether Minion was simply choosing not to reveal his secrets to the Dark Hunters. Regardless, the Shadowed One became convinced that Minion's mind contained a treasure trove of Brotherhood secrets, so he decided to keep Minion close to him at all times in case he ever began to talk in the hope of gleaning some of Minion's hidden knowledge. (BIONICLE: Dark Hunters) This arrangement persisted until the outbreak of the Dark Hunter-Brotherhood of Makuta War, where Minion was assigned to patrol Odina instead due to his ability to detect the presence of Makuta across extreme distances. (Toa Nuva Blog, Entry 3)

Minion was on patrol around the north of the island when the Toa Nuva arrived in search of the Staff of Artakha. Tahu recognized Minion and began to think about how best to deal with him, but Kopaka went ahead and flash-froze Minion before Tahu could reach a decision. (Toa Nuva Blog, Entry 3)

When the Great Spirit Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, Minion emigrated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna.

Overview

Powers and abilities

Like most living beings native to the Matoran Universe, Minion is a biomechanical lifeform whose body consists of both organic and metallic protodermis. Minion's hide is covered in impenetrable armor and he has long, razor-sharp claws on both hands. The Brotherhood of Makuta's experiments on Minion also gave him the ability to detect the presence of Makuta across extreme distances; even as far as across whole continents.

Notes

  • The Minion model was created by John Brodeur, known on BIONICLE fansite BZPower as "TakuaToa", and entered into the LEGO Magazine Dark Hunter Building Contest in 2005. Minion was chosen as one of the winning entries, canonized by BIONICLE lead writer Greg Farshtey, and featured in the BIONICLE: Dark Hunters guidebook.
