Bui

"I’ve wanted to die, but I could never take my own life. I am a coward, Terin, like you said. But you…you’ve given me the inspiration to live."

- Bui to Terin, Through My Own Eyes

Bui was a Le-Matoran on the Isle of Metru Nui.

Biography
At some point, Bui started to tinker, becoming an engineer. When the Metru Nui Civil War began, he worked for his people, but soon worked for the Ta-Matoran, and continued to shift as he was captured.

Through My Own Eyes
Bui worked for both sides often, constantly being captured and forced to work for the other side during the war. He helped the Le-Matoran build their tanks, helped build artillery, mines, and the bombs for the Ta-Matoran weapon, the Turtle.

He was eventually captured by the Le-Matoran again and locked up in Ta-Metru, only let out to work. During one time out, he snuck a chisel back into his cell, contemplating suicide for all the lives he took.

A year and a few months into the war, the Ta-Matoran Terin was locked up in his cell as well. He and Terin spoke about their lives and the war, and Bui admitted that he wanted to kill himself, but couldn't. Terin struck him, shouting at him to live for the lives he took indirectly through killing so many people. They argued about the values of life, with Terin being very vocal. Eventually Bui revealed his chisel, which Terin believed they could use to escape, but he killed himself, despite claiming he found a reason to live.

Abilities & Traits
Bui was a brilliant worker, someone who saw technology with new eyes, and built many new weapons. He may have been bipolar or had some mental problems, as he often flipped between wanting to live and wanting to die, even confusing himself and Terin, whom he spoke to about these problems. He was a coward, but someone who couldn't take his own life. Only when he was inspired to live could he find the will to kill himself.

Mask & Tools
Bui wore an unknown Kanohi mask.
