Before he got wormholed into another world, Raxadin was a brutal hunter of all living things on Spherus Magna, but favored preying on Vorox and Zesk for their animosity and uncanny appearance. Later, on the new world, he eventually joined Markach’s tribe, even if he thought little of Markach himself.

Raxadin was not long for this world however, because when the Toa came to Markach and offered a deal for him to take care of the Matoran while they went to fight Metron, Raxadin had other plans. The Toa were his enemies, Raxadin thought. Why should he help them when the Matoran were weak and splintered, perfect targets for being taken advantage of. But Raxadin couldn't have guessed that this would lead to a very painful downfall.

The village of the matoran had been destroyed, and the Toa were desperate. There was only one way to stop Metron from eradicating the rest of them, and it was to follow the mysterious stranger Vion’s visions, but that meant leaving the matoran elsewhere.

Fortunately the matoran were not hopeless, as the Toa had convinced the leader of the skakdi camp, Markach, to safeguard them while the Toa were away by trading him Vion’s golden gauntlet.

Raxadin, the brutish skakdi hunter, did not approve of this. The matoran were defenceless, and the Toa would be easy to manipulate with them in his grasp.

So Raxadin betrayed the trust of his fellow skakdi and kidnapped some of the matoran in the night, to use them as hostages when the Toa returned.

Two of the 40 odd remaining matoran went to track down their missing peers, and Markach sent out Skareena to look for Raxadin himself. Of course, they were both in the same place, and the matoran got there first.

Raxadin did not know this day would be his last. Among the matoran he had captured was Makuta Desparos, disguised as a matoran and unable to sneak out during Metron’s attack, and desperate to find an excuse to get back into their original shape.
