Bartanax

Bartanax is a BIONICLE character created by Kurahk Studios to represent Bioniclemaster1998 in their stop-motions.

History
Bartanax was the very first MOC created by Bioniclemaster1998. He has undergone many different designs and weapons, while managing to still keep the same overall look. He is voiced by Bioniclemaster1998 himself in all stop-motion that he appears in.

Story
What little backstory that is known about Bartanax is provided by BIONICLE Wars Season One, Episode Three.

Bartanax was the leader of an elite Toa team known as the Spartans, who were sent on secret missions that existed to no one outside of the Order of Mata Nui. However, at a juncture in his career, "something went wrong" (it has not been revealed what happened, hence the "something"). The team was deemed too dangerous for further use, so he and his team were forcibly frozen in cryo-stasis in the heart of the Codrex.

Later on, during the events of the BIONICLE Wars, Stealth and Y2K broke into the Codrex, and found and unfroze Bartanax. While Y2K began unfreezing the rest of the team, Bartanax and Stealth tried to catch up, but their conversation was interrupted by Hero Factory titian drones bursting down the blast doors that kept them sealed in the cryo room.

Reception
Bartanax is a well-recognized Kurahk Studios mascot, mainly for being used in Kurahk Studios update videos. Bartanax has also made appearences in Bartanax vs. Blade, where Bartanax and Blade engaged in violent, often hilarious, fights.

Role in Ark of Shadows
As of now, Bartanax will not be making an appearence in Ark of Shadows.
