Lize began his life on Spherus Magna. He was created as an Av-Matoran by an unknown Great Being. Centuries later, he, under mysterious circumstances, recieved a Toa Stone, which transformed him into a Toa of Light. He dwelt for thousands of years in Metru Nui, occasionally visiting the island of Artakha, where he met a Toa of Air known as Siclonus. He spent most of his days training and protecting the city from Rahi and the numerous mercenaries who invaded the city on numerous occasions. On one day, he was attacked by a Dark Hunter who was responsible for the deaths of several other Toa of Light. Lize defeated the Hunter, and left him in the Coliseum, before visiting the Great Temple to research the Hunter's past. He discovered nothing, and was ambushed by the Dark Hunter's partner, Ragon.
