Sanso

"In Le-Koro we live our lives according to the Principle of Faith. Faith is what holds aloft the feet of our leaf-runners! Faith is the wind that lifts our Gukko-riders from the trees! Faith is the hand that guides our disks to their marks! Without Faith, no Le-Matoran could sail the skies, or run across the treetops. From the principle of Faith comes our skill!"

- Sanso, The Final Chronicle

Sanso is a Le-Matoran native to Metru Nui.

Metru Nui
Little is known about Sanso's life on Metru Nui prior to the Great Cataclysm other than he lived and worked in Le-Metru. He was captured by the Vahki under the command of Makuta Teridax, disguised as Turaga Dume. He was then forced into a Matoran Sphere but was later rescued by the Toa Metru and awakened on the shores of Naho Bay on the Isle of Mata Nui when the Toa Metru sacrificed their Toa Power and became Turaga Metru for the Matoran's sake.

Mata Nui
Despite being weakened by imprisonment in a Matoran Sphere, Sanso took part in the construction of Le-Koro, under the direction of Turaga Metru Matau, with recycled pieces from the Airships that the Toa used to travel to the island with the Matoran. In Le-Koro, Sanso became a Musician, and was well-versed in the Principle of Faith. During the Great War, Sanso was captured along with most of the Le-Matoran by Nui-Rama during a Rahi attack, and was taken to the Nui-Rama Hive. He was later freed as a result of the efforts of his fellow Le-Matoran and Toa Mata Onua. Sanso was one of the Le-Matoran that had his Kanohi removed and replaced with a Krana by the Bohrok during the Bohrok Invasion. Following Kongu and Tamaru's ambush of the assembled Matoran with the help of several Boxors, the Krana were removed and masks restored. Following the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal, Sanso was rebuilt into a form which resembled that which he had had on Metru Nui. When Hahli was visiting Le-Koro during the Kolhii Tournament that preceded the Rahkshi attacks, Turaga Metru Matau suggested that she seek out Sanso to have him impart his knowledge of the Principles of Le-Koro, to assist her in her training.

Return to Metru Nui
Sanso later helped in the construction of Boats to facilitate his, and the other Matoran's return to Metru Nui, where he now resides. After Teridax revealed himself following the awakening of Mata Nui, and Rahkshi swarmed the city of Metru Nui, Sanso's fate is unknown.
