Biography
Pre-BZPRPG
Colx, like a lot of other Skakdi, didn't quite "fit in" when he first arrived on Mata Nui. He became a Mercenary, fighting and maiming for a living, but did eventually retire and settle down, mostly just because he was tired of the whole thing. He lived by himself in Le-Koro, but soon got a couple of new neighbors in the form of Helios and Melna. The three became unlikely, and reluctant from Colx's position, friends. When Helios one day showed up as a Toa, Colx decided to put his mercenary training to use and train both him and Melna in proper fighting. After completed training, and with the three about to part ways, Colx to come out of retirement and start work as a professional trainer.

Fighting Style
Colx is a close-range, physical behemoth, very adept at this form of combat. While his long-range capabilities are certainly present (Impact Vision and Zamor Launcher), they are not as potent as his purely physical prowess. Colx is not above fighting dirty, and will gladly exploit any advantage he gains to the fullest. Colx relies a lot on force in his fighting, as is befitting of a Skakdi, he uses a lot of dirty fighting and doesn't see himself as too good for cheap shots
