44	* FireForgedFriends: With Khiri after, fittingly enough, ''Escape the Fire''.
45	* LargeHam: '''YOU''' CANNOT UNDO HIS '''VOW'''!
46	* MacGuffin: His staff. It seems to be Izumali in origin, and much of the plot revolves around where he got it and how it works (as well as getting it back after Merx dropped it out of a Cargo Star shuttle).

His tribe's leader, Turaga Xata, sends him on mysterious missions across the planet, but M'konglii seems to be hiding things even from him.
57
58	* BadassNormal [[spoiler: Possibly subverted. Most Glatorian are powerless on their own, but M'konglii demonstrates some sort of teleportatoin ability. Whether or not this is an actual subversion will depend on whether this is revealed to be his own power or some device.]]
59	* DualWielding: Uses twin scimitars with leaf-like decorating on the inside curve (these serve a practical purpose: they are somewhat flexible, enough to snap around an opponent's sword).
60	* [[spoiler: DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: It's unknown if his ultimate allegiance is to Xata, Revolution, Team Cipher, himself, or some other faction.]]
61	* InSeriesNickname: Mik. Pronouncing an apostrophe is just as hard for them as it is for the readers.

65
66	'''Artakha'''

68	A Toa of Magnetism hacker from Izumal, Artakha, like his partner, was not himself Mindtouched, but sent to join Team Cipher by the leader of Izumal's hackers, Revolution.

82	* TheCracker
83	* LaResistance
84	* MeaningfulName: The Bionicle version of the Devil/Hell

88	'''Zuruk'''
89
90	Zuruk is a Toa of Ice who claims to have visited Enigma and brought back some of their technology. Formerly a nobody Gadget attachment designer, Zuruk convinced the people of Atohune to bring their six totems to the same location, an action many claim creates an Olmak Effect that teleports anyone inside to the eighth planet. Zuruk claims to have returned, although will not say how, with a number of devices that he has begun mass-producing and marketing as Enigma technology. Zuruk actually claims to be native of Enigma; he was teleported to Promathus through an Olmak Effect, with no memory of his former life, and no one reported him missing at the time. He also claims that he received confirmation of his origins on Enigma.

98
99	* ActionGirl: Has little combat experience, but has been shown to be able to handle herself in a fight.
100	* FireForgedFriends: With Bajnok.
101	* LaResistance: Albeit with less intentions to overthrow the government and more on just surviving.
102	* MoralityPet: To Bajnok.
103	* RealityWarper: For a time, could see reality shifts at an accelerated rate.

107
108	'''Revolution'''
109
110	The most notorious and skilled hacker on Izumal, Revolution has caused more trouble for the City than anyone else. No one knows what he looks like; he has never appeared in person. His sigil is a "V"; he tends to create one out of nanites near sights of his hacking activity. He is the leader of Regno di Baraonda, the largest hacker group on Enlightened.
111
112	* ActuallyADoombot: His first appearance turned out to be a robot, not the real guy.

122	The leader of M'konglii's tribe, Turga Xata is as mysterious as the Glatorian himself. [[spoiler: As a Toa, he observed Toa Jehry go nova in the giant Olmak Effect within Clysmax's core, forming the Coldstone and causing the Shattering (and saving the rest of the planet from being completely destroyed). He kept this knowledge to himself, allowing the other fragments to blame Ice for the Shattering.]]
123
124	* ExtraOreDinary: As a Turaga, his powers are now limited to making small objects like tools or artwork.
125	* SpySpeak: He gives his orders to M'konglii in codewords, and Mik gives his reports the same way.
126
127	[[/folder]]
128
129	[[folder:Agents]]
130	Operatives of the mysterious Izumali government, Agents are encased in extremely powerful nanite suits. They appear on different worlds without using the Olmak Totems, and their actions make little sense to anyone else.
131
132	'''In General'''
133	* AmbiguouslyEvil: While no one knows their true motives, and they ensure that no one is killed by their actions, Agents are still extremely ruthless and destructive. The Izumali council also opposes merging the Olmak, for unknown reasons.
134	* BroughtDownToBadass: ''Stick and Stones'' demonstrates that even stripped of their nanite suits, Agents are some of the deadliest fighters around.
135	* ComboPlatterPowers:

154	%%* BloodKnight
155	* FlowerMotifs: Uses flowers, has armor covered in flower patterns, is named after flowers, and is [[InvertedTrope one of the most violent Agents out there]].
156	%%* GreenThumb
157	* InstantSedation: By creating flowers that emit knockout gas.
158
159	'''Brute'''
160	* BlowYouAway
161	* TheBrute: He is one of the biggest and most destructive Agents we've met.
162	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Other than the ComboPlatterPowers his Agent suit gives him, there's also that fact that he is a Troak, meaning that while his brand of elemental powers don't have a lot of finesse or versatility, they pack one heck of a punch.
163	* [[WallCrawl Wall Walk]]: Thanks to his mask.
164
165	[[spoiler: '''Merx''']]
166
167	[[spoiler: See below for tropes pertaining to Merx before he became an Agent]]

170	* TurnCoat
171
172
173	'''Gears'''
174
175	* ElementalPowers: Possess every single elemental power in the Multiverse. Fortunately for everyone else, he isn't very creative with their use (although, at one point Kyn recollects how he did manage to create a very powerful explosive out of his Fire and Iron powers).
176	* NonIndicativeName: Unlike most mechanical beings in Toys/{{Bionicle}} proper and Aethion, Gears is not a ClockworkCreature and (probably) has no actual gears. Hanashi gave him the name.
177	* SuperpowerLottery
178
179	[[spoiler: '''Zashrau''']]
180	* TurnCoat

191	* TheFaceless: Hides behind a wall of one-way glass.
192	* KickTheDog: Enjoys bombing escaped slave villages or even communities of his own slaves with his [[CoolPlane Deathwing]] (This is something the Dukes do for fun too, but Taa apparently loves it the most).
193
194	'''Duke Choruul'''
195	* TheGenericGuy: Off all the Dukes, is described simply as a fairly normal Tyrant.
196
197	'''Duke Kle'''
198	* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: Particularly enjoys exotic and extremely spicy foods that he buys from Atohune.
199	* ManlyMenCanHunt: Prefers to hunt Rahi rather than bomb slaves, but still takes out his Deathwing when he's bored.
200	* VillainousGlutton: Downplayed; his defining trait happens to be that he enjoys food.
201
202
203	'''Duke Mboko'''
204	* DisproportionateRetribution: Punishes his slaves more severely than any other Duke, sometimes just because he suspects they might have committed some infraction.
205	* MakeAnExampleofThem: Unlike the other Tyrants, he doesn't kill/bomb his own slaves because it's [[ItAmusedMe fun]], but because he thinks it is the most efficient way of continuing the Tyrants' rule.
206	* TheStoic
207
208	'''Duke Mokuun'''
209	* AxCrazy
210	* BlessedWithSuck: Is one of the six most powerful beings on his planet, and owns one of the most valuable objects in the Multiverse: One of the totems that are the only way to safely travel from one planet to another. The problem is, Mokuun's leads to a planet full of guys who would arrest any Tyrant that tried to go through. Mokuun's totem is the number one target for slave escape attempts on Tanuuk.
211	* TheCaligula
212
213	'''Duke Tor'turahk'''
214	* ColdBloodedTorture: Occupies his time torturing the slaves under his rule, and tends walk to through the work areas with a whip more than the actual overseers.
215	* HellHolePrison: His capital city is the largest penal colony on Tanuuk (Slaves sent to Tanuuki penal colonies are forced to live in furnace-like enclosed metal chambers, are whipped daily to remind them of their crimes and again for any infraction they committed while there, and work twenty-hour days).
216	* MeaningfulName: As mentioned above, he likes torturing people.

229
230	'''King Iuksho'''
231	-->[[spoiler: Xata]]: "You want to have credit for [[VillainWithGoodPublicity saving the entire planet]]. You want a reason to justify why... the rich lands beyond should want to live under your banner."
232	--> Iuksho: "I do not hide my [[TakeOverTheWorld agenda]]. This is what I believe, and nobody says it better than you."
233
234	The first Ice King, it was Iuksho that first united the Ice Region (later the Ice Fragment) of Clysmax. Although he wanted to make the entire planet subservient to him, he was willing to do so by means other than direct conquest.
235
236	* AnIcePerson: Although he appeared to be a Toa of Ice, he had powers that led many to believe he was actually an ElementalEmbodiment of Ice or of the Ice Region itself.
237	* EvilOverlord: Less evil than his successor, but that's not saying much.
238	* PosthumousCharacter: Is dead by the present day.
239	* PragmaticVillain

249	* ContestWinnerCameo: Was a winner in the Platform/BZPower EM denizens contest.

252	* SerialKiller
