History
As a Matoran
Harkha originated as a Matoran living on Destral, along with Dlakii and Enira. He, like his friends, was enslaved by the Brotherhood of Makuta. His main job was on a Matoran Strike Team, assembled by the Makuta to deal with Rahi threats they considered too minor for the Toa Hagah.
At one stage, the slaves were assigned to work in a protodermis mine in Destral's southern end. Harkha was one of them, and so witnessed Toa Gaaki and Toa Iruini saving Hev from a landslide. It was then that the two learned of the Brotherhood's mistreatment of the Matoran, witnessing Chya threatening to disembowel a Ta-Matoran.
The following night, on another of their Rahi-hunting tasks, Harkha's team was caught in the middle of the beginning of the Toa Hagah's assault on the Destral fortress. Toa Norik and Toa Iruini successfully rescued the team from a large detachment of Visorak, bringing them to a hideout where the others were waiting. Once there, Toa Kualus noted that Noll, Harkha's Po-Matoran comrade, had run away, presumably as a traitor working for the Brotherhood. With suggestions from Dlakii and Vortex, the Toa Hagah prepared their plan for the battle.
Some time after this, Harkha, Dlakii and Enira became Toa.

Equipment
As a Matoran, Harkha bore a long spear forged by Rorm, another member of the anti-Rahi strike force. The spear had no special powers, and was probably destroyed in the Toa Hagah's attack.
As a Toa, Harkha's preferred weapons are his Atom Blasters, claw-shaped guns which fire radioactive blasts of flame. He wears the Kanohi Mendel, the Great Mask of Transmutation.
Powers and Traits
Harkha, being the Toa of the Chemical Elements, can manipulate and destroy practically anything. He has complete control over all matter except protodermis and protosteel. Furthermore, he cannot create or control fire, but can boost its power by drawing carbon from the world around him. Harkha has more limits to his powers than most Toa, as compensation for this godlike power; he tires easier and has to use more energy to use his element. One example of his power occurred halfway through The Unknown Turaga II: Land of Dragons, when he, using his elemental power, destroyed the Hordika venom infecting Dlakii, Lai, Thekoo, Dreiken and iKKF.
Personality
Harkha is a rather cool and calculating warrior, and a master tactician. He is an exceptionally friendly being, explaining how he managed to put up with Dlakii for thousands of years.
Character origin
Harkha is roughly based on a real-life friend of Turaga Dlakii.
