Jovan

"Somebody once told me that knowledge is a sharper weapon than a sword. Before I charge into a fight, I could use a little more of that."

- Toa Lesovikk to Sarda, Dreams of Destruction

Jovan was once a Ha-Matoran who became a Toa of Magnetism and the leader of the first Toa Team to retrieve the Kanohi Ignika. Jovan later transformed into a Turaga and served as the elder of Voya Nui.

Biography
Over one-hundred-thousand years before the Great Cataclysm, Jovan was transformed into a Toa.

Quest To Become A Legend
Jovan encountered Toa Lesovikk during the Toa of Air's travels. Jovan coached the Toa in valuable fighting styles and ideas. Lesovikk continued his quest, and Jovan later joined a Toa Team. A little over twenty-thousand years later, the Great Disruption in Metru Nui imperiled the health of the Great Spirit Mata Nui. To prevent his death, Jovan led his team to the Chamber of Life, located under Mount Valmai in the heart of the Southern Continent. The team successfully battled the various guards and traps in the chamber and retrieved the Mask of Life, which they then brought to Karda Nui to restore health to Mata Nui. After the Ignika's use resulted in the death of a Toa team member, the remaining members of the team returned it to the Chamber of Life.

Turaga
After the Toa returned the Ignika, their destiny achieved, they transformed into Turaga, and Jovan stayed behind to take leadership of the village of Voya Nui and watch over the mask. As a Turaga, Jovan educated the Matoran of Voya Nui about their history through storytelling. During the Great Cataclysm, when the landmass containing Voya Nui broke off the continent and rocketed to the surface of Aqua Magna, outside the Great Spirit Mata Nui, Jovan was killed in the upheaval.

Abilities & Traits
As a Toa of Magnetism, Jovan could create, control, and absorb magnetic energy. This allowed him a range of abilities, which included increasing or decreasing the magnetic field in an area, releasing beams of magnetic energy, and manipulating metal through magnetism, as well as other similar abilities. This power was reduced greatly when he became a Turaga.

Mask & Tools
As a Toa, Jovan wore a Kanohi Kadin, the Great Mask of Flight, which granted him the ability to fly. His Toa Tool was a Magnetic Bolt Launcher. He also carried the earliest known model of the Zamor Launcher, the Zamor Spheres of which nullified the effects of enemy weapons. As a Turaga, Jovan wore a Noble Kadin, which briefly gave him self-powered flight.

Set Information
The Toa Jovan model was revealed in the September-October 2006 LEGO Magazine, with instructions appearing in the European edition of the magazine. Instructions were also made available on BIONICLE.com soon afterward. The Jovan model is made of pieces from Toa Inika Hahli, Nuparu, and Hewkii. His Zamor Launcher features a cartridge piece that gives it a capacity of four yellow-orange Zamor spheres.
