Dweller

"He is smart, he is silent, and he is patient, having already spent close to 1,000 years at his post."

- "The Shadowed One", Dark Hunters

"Dweller" is a stealthy Dark Hunter and one of the organization's most effective spies.

Biography
"Dweller" originally worked on assassination missions and used his mental attacks to kill his targets. "The Shadowed One" later sent "Dweller" on a permanent assignment to Metru Nui after the Great Cataclysm to keep watch over developments there, as the city is a key tactical location to both the Dark Hunters and the Brotherhood of Makuta. "Dweller" used his powers to monitor events, and periodically sent out Rahi with reports to "The Shadowed One". He was also able to use his power to shield himself from discovery from anyone who wandered the tunnels where he lived, such as the Rahaga. During his time at Metru Nui, he witnessed and reported a brief battle between a wandering band of Visorak and the allied Turaga Dume, Rahaga, and Keetongu. He occasionally entertained himself by giving Norik nightmares about Visorak and Dark Hunters overtaking Metru Nui. Acting on information from a report, "The Shadowed One" ordered "Dweller" to follow Takanuva and strike when he was most vulnerable, opening the way for a Dark Hunter invasion. While "Dweller" was attempting to probe Takanuva, the Toa of Light sensed his presence, and was able to deflect the mental attack and locate its' source. Before the Takanuva could reach "Dweller", however, he was attacked by a Shadow Leech. Soon after, "Dweller" witnessed the Toa Mahri's return to Metru Nui. When Brutaka traveled to Metru Nui, the Dark Hunter's mental powers proved useless against the Order of Mata Nui member, who knocked him out, captured him, and brought him to Toa Helryx. He was later taken by the Order and imprisoned on Daxia. He survived the destruction of Daxia's fortress when Makuta Teridax took over the universe and leveled the island.

Dark Mirror
In the Toa Empire Alternate Universe, "Dweller" was never sent to Metru Nui and was killed when the Toa Empire invaded Odina.

Abilities & Traits
"Dweller" has the ability to reach out and scan the minds of others, gathering information from hundreds of minds for his reports. He can take this further, to drive them insane with nightmares, or to screen himself from the minds of others. Extremely loyal to the organization, the dedication of "Dweller" enables him to whole-heartily devote all his time and effort into completing his missions.

Quotes
