''"I have made many mistakes, and have lost so very much. My Kanohi, my Body, my Mind, so many friends. And I am sorry, even if I cannot help it." - Imrukii, confronting himself.''

History
Imrukii was created 2000 years ago from the beginning of A Rude Awakening within Ao. Imrukii is an Empathetic Clairvoyant Character, often time receiving odd and confusing visions that all fit together piece by piece over time. He has see things he cannot mutter due to the haunting imegry implanted within his mind during his time upon Karzahni. Imrukii has two idol spirit figures in which give him Courage and Patience which has given him the strength to face through the greatest of evils. Despite the positive affects they have on him, many just see him as crazy for feeling and seeing such things.

As a Matoran, Imrukii was created as a Crafter and Mask Maker in Ta-Metru. During his time he made the most exquisitely detailed and elaborate masks. They were true works of art, truly that of a master crafter. These masks however were made at a heavy cost to Imrukii's stamina. Always wanting to go above and beyond his last project each and every single time, but eventually he just feel into a crafter's block, and was temporarily reassigned to work within the Metal Foundry. Imrukii found this job tedious and uninteresting. He would stoop over vats and vats of searing hot liquid Protodermis for many days and nights. But the heat was calming, at least from a distance. It was soothing to him, and eventually woke up one morning full of stamina and energy, he was happy, and returned to his duty as a Mask Maker for months to come.

This whole process became a continuous cycle, rises and falls in energy and stamina, but would have to be tolerated in order to allow him to get his work done. Allas, in time his work diminished suginicantly, he began to lose his artist's touch in time, this impact was greatly felt. Imrukii's final mask would be a Kualsi, shaped and molded for a Toa, having tones of silver meshed alongside those of red, it was simple but marvelous to look at.

Many years later the Matoran Civil war broke out, where in an incident Imrukii was Ambushed and damaged, but managed to fight off his attackers and defeat them. With his body now damaged, he was sent away to Karzahni where he would never be seen again by the eyes of anyone for 1015 years to come. Imrukii's body was repaired improperly, his form diminished, and given an old ugly dirty Rau. Hi mental state diminished significantly with time upon the island, only there 14 years he was witness to many unspeakable travesties upon others of his kind who were also sent to the island. Imrukii Miraculously, Imrukii managed to escape the island of Karzahni on one grand occasion. Imrukii stowed away upon a Steltian ship that had come into port, after sneaking past the Manas guarding the hills around. Imrukii jumped from the ship 2 Kio away from a landmass, and swam his way over to it. Upon reaching the shores, Imrukii was parched and out of energy. Dehydrated, but free, Imrukii slumbered his way over to a small bush of Bula Berries and replenished himself from it.

(TBC)

(quick summary (here for later, will be removed when not needed)): As a Matoran, Imrukii was assigned as a Mask Maker in Metru Nui, and indeed he made masks of excellent quality and craftsmanship. However, when the Matoran civil war broke out, on one unfortunate occasion Imrukii was ambushed by a group of three Po-Matoran, Ally, Podu, and Epena. Imrukii managed to subdue them however, but he himself was badly damaged, and was sent off to Karzahni to be repaired. That of course didn't follow through, and after he had not returned, Turaga Renoh disallowed any other Matoran to be taken to Karzahni. On the Island of Karzahni, Imrukii was witness to many horrors, and his mental state was diminished to near insanity. Imrukii had to find a way off the Island, and he eventually caught his break when a vessel sending off Matoran en masse from another land came ashore. Imrukii boarded as a stowaway, and eventually jumped overboard and came to wash up on the southern continent where he would come to call home for nearly 1000 years. In that time, Imrukii was witness to Voya Nui splitting off during the Great Cataclysm, and came to be shunned by the Ba-Matoran of Ba-Koro. So now he developed a hatred of both Po and Ba Matoran. Before the great Cataclysm, but during his shunning, he came to spot a Fe-Matoran from a land clearly far, far away from where he came from. He witness the Matoran get ambushed by a Muaka, and thats when he made his strike. Imrukii ambushed and killed the Muaka who was attacking the poor Matoran, and using parts from the Muaka, Imrukii made the Matoran an artificial lung, since the Matoran's lung had been collapsed. Imrukii asked the name of the Matoran, and his name was Pewto. Pewto from than on had a great respect for Imrukii, and would come to speak of his encounter elsewhere. Rumor spread and eventually Imrukii was finally located. Everyone presumed he was dead, and was amazed to find that he was alive. Imrukii and Pewto would see eachother again fighting side by side as brothers in arms during Teridax's Reign of Shadows. The Order of Mata Nui saw the great potential in Imrukii, and trained him in the art of Combat after properly repairing his body. Imrukii eventually came to become the leader of the so-called 'Last Resistance' against Makuta Teridax, and it was during the sacrifice of Toa Hussi that him and his team hid away in canisters, and was launched outside of Ao by Teridax due to the chaos and pain they were putting Teridax through physically, and fell to the surface of Bota Magna. Imrukii, along with Kira, Talleth, Zoark, Pewto, and Tu eventually somewhere along the way became Toa on Bota Magna sometime after the Reformation of Spherus Magna.
