Biography
"Gladiator" was an entertainment fighter living on the Isle of Stelt. However, during a fierce battle he lost control and went on a rampage. Roughly six members of Krekka's species were sent to bring him down, but he demolished them all. It took half of the guards to finally incapacitate him, and he was recruited to be a Dark Hunter for his power and brutality. When Sidorak tried to join the Dark Hunters, he had to fight "Gladiator" as a test. "Gladiator" revealed that despite his great size, he also possessed incredible speed and agility. He easily dispatched Sidorak in a training match, disqualifying him from being allowed to join the Dark Hunters. "Gladiator" later joined forces with fellow Dark Hunters Triglax and "Devastator" to steal the Nui Stone from Toa Mangai Tuyet, only to be framed for the murder of several Matoran. He eventually ended up being defeated by Toa Lhikan. "Gladiator" at one point returned to his homeland of Stelt serving as a spy to investigate rumors that said Sidorak's species was trying to recruit an army of Visorak. "Gladiator", along with the surviving residents of the Matoran Universe, evacuated the Great Spirit Robot subsequent to it being rendered uninhabitable as a result of Makuta Teridax's death during the Battle of Bara Magna.
