Keahi by nicklong359 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"He's as stubborn as a Mahi Cow, but he's also one of the bravest Matoran I've met. Even Tahu sometimes jokes that he's a Toa-Hero trapped in a Matoran body."

-Jaller, Captain of the Guard, Ta-Koro

When Keahi was elected as the Captain's Second Lieutenant, many within the Ta-Koro Guard were puzzled, for Keahi is not know for either his wit or wisdom. And yet, no one can deny that he has faced the worst that the Makuta Wars have had to offer, and neither vicious Rahi nor the terrible Bohrok Swarms have succeeded in breaking his spirit. Truly, his indomitable attitude has never failed to raise the morale of those under his command.

Keahi is a capable warrior and well-versed in the way of the spear. Legends speak of a time when the lone Ta-Matoran fended off a Nui-Kopen with only a stick and a jagged piece of rock. Such is Keahi's almost obstinate refusal to back down that he has even struck a friendship with the equally stubborn Toa of Fire.

Reliable, but impatient, Keahi is roused to anger by even the smallest inconvenience. To counter this, his Turaga has instructed the second lieutenant to channel his anger into something useful. To this end, Keahi has picked up Koli, and can often be found kicking Koli balls against the stone columns outside of Ta-Koro's gates.
