Vanisher

"Some Dark Hunters are blindly loyal, sufficiently effective to remain employed, and perfectly willing to follow others as long as they get paid and get the chance to kill something now and then. And then there are those like Vanisher."

- "The Shadowed One", Dark Hunters

"Vanisher" is a willful Dark Hunter suspected of working for the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Biography
Due to the independent and willful nature of "Vanisher", "The Shadowed One" had assigned more loyal members of the organization to accompany him and keep him under control, much like he did with the traitorous Nidhiki. These partners all ended up dying mysteriously on their missions with "Vanisher". Ordinarily, "Vanisher" would have been executed for this behavior, but since he is an extremely efficient operative and gets results, "The Shadowed One" lets him live. Recently, the leader of the Dark Hunters came to suspect that "Vanisher" worked for the Makuta, which is why "The Shadowed One" sent him to the nearest fortress of the Brotherhood to gather intelligence. On this mission, "Vanisher" was spied upon by another Dark Hunter, and a third one was sent to spy upon both. When Teridax was killed while in control of the Matoran Universe, the Dark Hunters, including "Vanisher", emigrated to Spherus Magna.

Abilities & Traits
"Vanisher" is independent, powerful, and insubordinate, so much so that he was accused of being a double agent for the Brotherhood of Makuta, though this was not the case. "Vanisher" has the power to open interdimensional gates through which he can walk, traveling great distances in the blink of an eye, and appearing to vanish to the observer. He cannot, however, use these gates to travel to other dimensions. He also has the power to open dimensional fluctuations in order to trap energy attacks. He can keep these for as long as he wishes, and then release the energy contained therein. Many times he has defeated enemies with nothing but their own power.

Tools
"Vanisher" carries a spear, which some believe actually houses his powerful dimensional traveling ability, though "Vanisher" refuses to say what gives him the ability.
