[b]Faction Introduction:[/b]
The Brotherhood of Makuta were created by the Great Beings of the Matoran Universe out of a lifebearing substance called Antidermis. The 100 Makuta, eighty-five male and fifteen female, were instructed by their creators to follow in their footsteps and create lifeforms who would be necessary for the universe to function properly. The species was organized under the name of Brotherhood of Makuta, the word Makuta meaning "ruler of beasts" in the constructed Matoran Language. Other sapient lifeforms were created by the great beings themselves, but the Makuta designed and brought to life the plethora of wild fauna and flora that inhabited the many worlds of the Matoran Universe. 

Originally, the Makuta served as kinds of protectors of the other sapient lifeforms in their universe, being much more powerful than they, and over time the name of the species began to evolve into a title. Following a bloody civil war on the Island of Metru Nui, which ended through Makuta intervention, the species had their members assigned to oversee the many Island Worlds in the Matoran Universe. In this time they were a very well known group. Feared for their ambition and brutal methods of dealing with problems, but respected for their protection of the universe and the creation of its creatures. This changed following the events in the War of the Six Kingdoms. 

The Six Kingdoms were ruled by the God-Kings known as the Barraki, who ruled with absolute authority as the chosen monarchs appointed by the great beings. They had begun planning to over throw the godlike being known as Mata Nui, who was controlling and preserving their universe. The Brotherhood entered into the war to end their plot, defeating the Union of the Six Kingdoms and imprisoning their leaders in the Maximum Security Prison known as the Pit. Though the uprising was crushed, this began to inspire ideas in a makuta known as Teridax. Long the second in command of the Brotherhood under the ancient leader, Miserix, he began plotting a coup to overthrow Miserix and form his own plot to take control of the Universe. 

The plot succeeded, with the majority of the Makuta following Teridax and supporting his Coup (though not all supported his plan). The dissidents were killed and the old leader was shipped off to an abandoned Island to spend the rest of eternity in Exile. 

Sometime following, the species underwent a collective mutation, the antidermis they were made from decaying into a state of pure energy. This forced the species to change their ways of life. The Makuta, formerly a biological species, now secured themselves in the most advanced armors their world could offer, killing or enslaving their creators to ensure the secrets would never be revealed. And employing teams of Toa bodyguards,called Toa Hagah, to protect them (6 Toa to a team). 

At this point, the timeline diverges from canon. The Makuta find themselves transported into a pocket dimension via a malfunction of the method they use to move their island base of Destral across the universe. At this moment, the Makuta are still in their antiquity, 94 of the original makuta survive, protected from the outside world by their powerful Bodyguards and unending armies of creatures that they are able to create and bring to life from nonliving scratch. 

[b]Faction Strengths:[/b]
Due to their current state, the Makuta no longer have to eat, sleep, breathe, and cannot feel pain

The Makuta's army is endless and completely inexhaustable, as they are able to create new lifeforms from scratch and mutate existing ones they imprision into subservient beings. 

The Rahi that compose the Makuta's armies range from savage beasts that must be controlled via reprogramming, to the intelligent and sophisticated Visorak Spiders, who fill the role of officers and are able to create complex strategies and direct other troops. 

Maktua have access to a variety of powers, including the [url=http://bionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Rahkshi_Powers]42 Kraata Powers[/url]. the ability to generate Kraata from their bodies. They are also shapeshifters by nature; however, it requires a massive amount of energy to change form, which they can acquire by absorbing other beings by means of the Shadow Hand, a projection of their being that is capable of encapsulating and absorbing objects or other lifeforms by converting their mass into energy and using it as an energy source. Alternatively, the energy can be reconverted into matter and added to the Makuta's physical shell. 

Each Makuta is protected by a team of 6 Toa Hagah, elite warriors who have control over the Elements of either Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Stone, Ice, Iron, Magnetism, Electricity, Plant Life, Sonics, Plasma, or Psionics. Each Toa is restricted to one element, and the exact composition varies between Makuta. 

All Makuta have access to knowledge about the way the world works and the laws that govern the universe. This knowledge could be used to manipulate the environment into doing their bidding, so long as it adheres to the laws of physics. 

[b]Faction Weaknesses:[/b]

All Makuta were created with an innate character flaw that many view as a curse on the species. They all have immense pride in their abilities, lust for great power, and believe themselves to be superior to all other beings. This has made cooperation between them extremely difficult if not impossible except in the most basal of ways. Their organization and kinship is always peppered by internal conflict, which will almost certainly lead to Makuta being killed in huge numbers by their own hands. 

The Makuta's creations and their Toa are functionally AI. It has been shown that they are capable of being controlled or reprogrammed. The Makuta themeslves, however, are not AI. 

They are very few in numbers, and will only dwindle as time goes on. 

If a Makuta's armor is broken, then the essence of the Makuta will slowly leak out, and eventually dissipate, killing them.

Their Rahi Armies and Toa Guardian's are biomechanical beings, and can be killed like any other biological being. In addition, unlike their Makuta masters, these bio mechanical lifeforms do require food and rest to survive.  

The Makuta, for all their power, seldom engage in battle due to their importance, so they will very rarely ever be fought directly. 

As their armies are composed mostly of wild beasts, they are very untrained and disorganized. However, their advanced weapons and natural defenses tend to balance that out. 

Due to being composed of a kind of semiorganic metal, the Makuta and their soldiers are vunerable to magnetic weapons.
