Gatherer

"Many beings are drawn to the life of a Dark Hunter by the potential for profit and adventure, or simply to escape the life they have been living before. Others, like "Gatherer", were pulled into the organization by force and given no choice about remaining."

- "The Shadowed One", Dark Hunters

"Gatherer" is a well-armored Dark Hunter.

Biography
"Gatherer" was once a leader amongst Matoran on an unnamed island. One day he got in the way of a Dark Hunter operation, and was captured and taken to their base on Odina. "The Shadowed One" forcefully persuaded him to see things from their point of view, and he became a member, hunting down the enemies of the Dark Hunters. "Gatherer" was once assigned to obtain information on the Order of Mata Nui, an organization previously unknown to the Dark Hunters, and which could have potentially been an enemy. After the Order disclosed its' existence to the Dark Hunters, "Gatherer" began fighting against the Brotherhood of Makuta, and after the Brotherhood's defeat, he traveled to Xia, the Hunters' new base of operations. When Teridax was killed while in control of the Matoran Universe, the Dark Hunters, including "Gatherer", emigrated to Spherus Magna.

Abilities & Traits
"Gatherer" was drastically modified so that he would not need food or sleep, and has a connection to subterranean Rahi, being able to control them. Whenever he successfully completes a mission, he takes a piece of his enemy's armor and adds it to himself, gradually building himself into what he is today. His Rhotuka has the ability to temporarily scramble the mind of almost any target.

Tools
The armor "Gatherer" wears is incredibly thick, and he carries a wide array of weapons, including a Kanoka Disk Launcher, a Rhotuka Launcher, a blade that can slice through solid Protodermis, another blade that doubles as a shield, and an energy cannon.
