As a Matoran
Dreiken was a resident of Aerrock Nui and a Ko-Matoran, despite abnormal color scheme. Although not much else is known about his life as a Matoran, he graduated from the Toa Academy along with Lai and Thekoo (whom he would meet again later), and became a Toa with the Toa Stone presented to him.
As a Toa
After becoming a Toa, Dreiken apparently traveled much of the Northern Continent and a few of its surrounding islands, having many adventures; one which apparently bestowed the title of Toa of Valor.
After a time, Dreiken ran across Thekoo in the Nowhere Desert, and they both came across Dlakii and Lai soon afterwards. Joining Dlakii in his quest, they battled their way to Mata Nui through hordes of Shadow Rahkshi and Teridax's generals: Noir, Muntauce, Morkuva and Lyrrahk.
In one such battle, Dlakii and the band were defending Port Spirit from Muntauce's army of Shadow Rahkshi, and losing badly, even with the pirates as reinforcements.. In an attempt to turn the tide of the battle, Dreiken engaged Muntauce in one-on-one combat, however, Muntauce quickly defeated him. Before Muntauce could strike the killing blow however, Dlakii used some of his own energy to restore and upgrade Dreiken, giving him the power to destroy Muntauce. The Rahkshi, with their leader defeated, lost all morale, allowing Dlakii and the rest to make short work of them.

Equipment
Dreiken's tools and weapons as a Matoran are unknown at this time.
Before his "upgrade" transformation, Dreiken wielded a pair of gauntlets on his wrist known as Spectrum Gauntlets. This special weapon allowed Dreiken to fire concentrated beams of intense light directly from his hands. During his later transformation, the Spectrum Gauntlets transformed into the Firestorm Gauntlets, which allow Dreiken to infuse entwine fire into his ice power, which creates the bolts of icefire he uses so often.
Dreiken's primary (and favorite) weapon is Naegling, of of the five "legendary" weapons hidden at Kini-Nui. With Naegling, Dreiken can fire bolts of "spectrum" light, several times more powerful than those produced by his old Spectrum Gauntlets.
Powers and Traits
Dreiken possesses all the standard powers of a Toa of Ice, although he rarely uses them by themselves, rather preferring to fuse it into icefire with his Firestorm Gauntlets. He is an excellent fighter, having trained at multiple dojos, schools and the like, including iKKf's dojo. In addition, Dreiken shows great talent and skill with a bow, which is why he chose Naegling as his weapon at Kini-Nui.
The Kanohi Hau is Dreiken's mask, although its shape strongly resembles a Hau Nuva.
Personality
Dreiken has a very distinct and varying personality, for example, he can be cautious at times, but he has also been shown to recklessly charge into battle when his friends are in trouble. He makes wisecracks during deadly situations, probably to keep his teammates (and his own) morale up.
While usually peaceful and not easily angered, he has gone into extreme rages before. A good example of this is during Chapter 7: War of the Beasts, though this can be blamed on Hordika venom.
Character Origin
Dreiken is based on the BZPower member Dreiken, author of the Unknown Turaga spin-off, Sons of Shadow, as well as a few of his own comic series.
Trivia
- Originally Dreiken was a Toa of Spectrum, and not a Toa of Ice. The reason for the type change was to better fit in with the official BIONICLE storyline, and to also fit with scenes that showed Dreiken using ice in The Unknown Turaga II: Land of Dragons.
- Dreiken's abnormal coloring in his Matoran and original Toa forms was caused by an as-yet unrevealed event that happened to him as a Matoran.
- Personality-wise, Dreiken was originally supposed to be semi-insane, but the idea was scrapped.
