The Toa Cordak were the first Toa Team ever to be formed. They were not the first Toa, as solo Toa came before them. There were eight total members on the team. They originally protected the village where Sarda, Idris, and other Voya Nui Matoran used to live before their insane Turaga sent the Matoran away to Karzahni, also protecting the rest of the Matoran Universe from various threats. However, when the team was encountered by a hoard of Zyglak, Lesovikk hesitated during a crucial moment in battle which resulted in his entire team being killed except for himself. After this event, rumors of the team's defeat spread around the Matoran Universe, resulting in the term "Cordak" becoming a slang term meaning "desolation".
