Artakha is the wielder of the Legendary Mask of Creation, and the being in the Matoran Universe responsible for the creation of masks, weapons, and even the Toa, having created even the Toa Mata. Many Matoran creators work alongside him in peace and comfort. Thousands of years after the creation of the Matoran Universe, a team lead by the Makuta Kojol invaded Artakha's island (also named Artakha) and stole one of his creations, Avohkii, the Mask of Light. Artakha responded by telling the Order of Mata Nui to expunge the location of his island from all maps, and kill all those who know of its location, including Kojol. And so Artakha and his island faded into legend.
