Spinner

"Sometimes, the most fertile ground for recruiting Dark Hunters is among our enemies, the Toa. The Dark Hunter known as Spinner, for example, was positively eager to defect."

- The Shadowed One, Dark Hunters

"Spinner" is a former Toa of Air who later joined the Dark Hunters.

Biography
While Spinner was still a Toa, he and his Toa Team fought against a group of mutated Rahkshi. During this fight, Spinner was thrown into an incredibly deep pit and was greatly injured by the fall, blaming his fellow Toa for it.

When Dark Hunter operatives found him, Spinner was damaged so badly that they had to take him to be repaired. They added several improvements to him, such as new powers and weapons, and recruited him into the Dark Hunters.

Spinner has stated that he wants to hunt Toa only, and is still an active Dark Hunter.

Along with the surviving residents of the Matoran Universe, Spinner evacuated the Great Spirit Robot in the wake of Teridax's death.

Abilities & Traits
As a Toa of Air, Spinner could create, control and absorb Air.

Since his injuries, he has lost his Elemental Powers and now causes the air around him to become heavy and toxic, limiting his usefulness on missions requiring stealth. He can also now instill vertigo in an opponent through a glance of his eyes.

Tools
Spinner now carries twin slicers that can each launch Rhotuka spinners that make his foe lose balance. The two weapons can also be combined to launch a Rhotuka that can plunge opponents into a coma. The sheer amount of energy required to perform this attack, however, can drain Spinner enough to cause him to fall into a coma himself.
