Makuta Lomois

Lomois is a member of the Brotherhood of Makuta from the 2001-2010 run of Bionicle. He wields all 42 Kraata powers, along with shadow hand, the ability to fire Rohtuka spinners, and the great mask of Emulation.

Makuta Lomois was always the eccentric sort. He eschewed the creation of rahi in favor of building weapons of destruction based on their formidable skills. His crowning achievement (according to him) was the creation of Rahkshi grenades, hand-held bombs of divers Rahkshi powers.

His ineptitude at administration ruled him out of receiving an island to oversee after the Matoran Civil War, which was fine for Lomois. He was more than content to concoct ever more potent engines of destruction. When the convocation came, Lomois saw Teridax's coup as an opportunity to literally test the Matoran universe, to see how well it could stand against his devices. He filed these thoughts away until the Great Cataclysm struck. Now, he seized the chance to introduce the world to his mechanical mayhem. Several trips to Xia and weeks of research later piqued his interest in collecting ancient artifacts of unknown power. When the Scardons of the Southern Islands petitioned the Brotherhood for aid after the Great Cataclysm, Lomois urged Teridax to send an operative, hoping that the mission would yield the discovery of a relic of Thanarax, an ancient warlord.

Unfortunately for Lomois, the mission ended in disaster when Crytoss, the operative sent, was reported missing. This landed the scientist several sessions with the masters of pain and gave the Makuta a grudging respect for those who possessed physical strength. It is after this time that Lomois began shambling around in the form you see now. He chose to shapeshift into a more draconian form, giving him a frightening appearance to back his threats. For one thousand years, he went on a veritable crusade searching for any clue that could lead him to Thanarax. His research yielded little, but he did discover what happened in the month-long time gap that happened before the Great Cataclysm. Later, somebody leaked his position and the fact that he held such information, to the Order of Mata Nui, who sent an operative to destroy him. Lomois defeated the assassin and began searching for Artahka, at which point Antroz ordered the scientist to cease all attempts at finding the lost island, saying that Lomois' efforts would be best served in bolstering Brotherhood technology than chasing fairy tales.

Status: Dead. Makuta Lomois was destroyed in combat with the Order agent Tobduk. Apparently the Order decided that a being who not only knows one of their closely guarded secrets, but is actively searching for another, should not be allowed to live. The two fought after Lomois had razed a Steltian outpost shortly after the presumed destruction of Teridax.

Notes on the MOC: The MOC itself is rather hard to pose, due in part to the loose joints I discovered I have. The chest is gappy and could use some work, along with the lower legs. I think the skirt could be integrated better, but I'm not sure how.
