bio
Vancus was a Le-Agoran street urchin, often finding jobs and loosing them due his trouble-making nature. Often in between jobs, he would practice with a Kanoka Disc Launcher until he became a talented marksman. This caught the eye of the Akilini coach, a Fe-Agoran named Rendes, who offered Vancus a position on the team. Vancus accepted, and with his marksmanship, helped win many games, including a championship, becoming the top player in his team. As he served the team for approximately twenty years, Vancus became cocky in his abilities, and amused himself by doing increasingly complicated and dangerous shots during games. One such shot caused damages to the arena and almost killed several Agoran. Rendes, angry at Vancus and under pressure from the Turaga leading the city, fired Vancus. Ashamed of his actions, Vancus became a vagabond, traveling across the desert, trying to find work and practicing his Kanoka Disc Launching skills. During one of these practices, he destroyed a boulder, containing a Toa Stone, turning him into a Toa of Air. Vancus wanted to use his new powers for good to make amends for his prior actions. Coincidentally, the Turaga of Zorrin Nui, Kantis, requested for Toa to help their city fight against a Skakdi rebellion. Vancus jumped at the chance, and decided to travel there. While traveling, he met two other Toa going to the same place, Tamina, a Toa of Water, and Poldren, a Toa of Stone. Vancus admitted to the two that he never fought before, so the two Toa taught him. This allowed the three of them to become closer to one enough and eventually become friends. When they got to Zorrin Nui, they met the city's Toa, Twilis, Toa of Light, and Kratos, the new Toa of Fire. The five of them fought the Skakdi army, which included their leader, Ragnog, a Skakdi of Iron. During the battle, he took out a Skakdi beating up a Po-Agoran. In return, the Agoran gave Vancus a winged jetpack, which he used to help win the battle. After this victory, the five of them were asked to become the official Toa of Zorrin Nui. Vancus accepted, enjoying the company of the other Toa. Vancus soon became a valuable asset to the team, making for an efficient long-range fighter and sniper. He formed close relationships with the other Toa, although he became afraid of Kratos's arrogant attitude, seeing a bit of his past self in him. Throughout the actions of Vancus's team and many others, peace was maintained through Spherus Magna, heralding a new Golden Age for the Agoran population, lasting nearly 50,000 years. However, that peace will be shattered soon enough.
