Gyoku

"I want to see how good you are as a man, like I said, as a leader. I want to test your merit to the team, to Angelus Nui. That’s why we must do this."

- Gyoku to Tala, Sanctus Epitaph

Gyoku is a Fe-Matoran on the Isle of Angelus Nui.

Biography
Gyoku traveled to Angelus Nui at some point and befriended Toa Gaila, playing games of his illegal Uuk-Koi with her to sharpen her mind and to teach her lessons. He taught her how to fight, how to think, and more, essentially molding her into the effective Toa she was.

Sanctus Epitaph
Around six months after Gaila's death, he sent a tablet to the Toa's base, summoning Tala to his residence. The two spoke, with Gyoku desiring to know about who Tala was as a man, compared to Gaila. He challenged Tala to a game of Uuk-Koi. The Toa accepted, despite its illegality.

Over the course of the game, Gyoku was able to overcome Tala, beating him by three tiles. He told Tala that Gaila would have him matched tile-for-tile at this point, angering Tala. Tala eventually put up a better fight, but was overcome by Gyoku's strategies of slipping his mental focus around Tala's.

Gyoku ended up being the winner, despite their game ending before one of them took serious mental damage. He told Tala that there was something obvious on his mind, and ended up learning that Tala had a difficult rival who he was reluctant to kill. Tala said he couldn't, because of the Toa Code. Gyoku told him to do what he must, and that the game would help him to figure that out.

Abilities & Traits
Gyoku is an older Matoran, according to Thete and Seles. He has a strong mind, able to do very well at Uuk-Koi, even against a Toa who has a superior mind. He has a gruff undertone sometimes, but otherwise is a quieter, reserved man with patience and good morals, despite owning an illegal Uuk-Koi board, and admitting to its illegality.

Mask
Gyoku wears an unknown Kanohi mask.
