I do believe this one's my favorite; he'd be tied with Katara if it wasn't for the extra gear and "functions".

Biography
The great city of Metru Nui has sat desolate ever since the Great Cataclysm and the occupation of the evil Makuta's forces. Even with the banishment of the dark lord and the withdrawal of his minions, Metru Nui remains abandoned; shrouded in shadows haunted by things wild and deadly. Fear and sorrow discourage the Matoran from attempting to restore the great city. However, there is one band of Matoran known as Garan's Company who have made it their mission to delve into the city and uncover its secrets, gathering surviving records, forgotten technology, and other lost items, and slowly committing resources to restore key sites. It's a monumental mission demanding lifetimes of dedication, but the explorers of Garan's Company are fully committed to restoring the former glory of Metru Nui for all the world to see.
Tenda Histone grew up listening to stories from elders like Garan Voyaren who recalled Metru Nui in its prime, and like many others shared Garan's dream of unearthing all that was lost from that golden age of Matoran civilization. Tenda's dreaming turned to ambition and he poured himself into studying every field he felt would contribute to Garan's expedition; focusing in the engineering field that suited his hobby of tinkering. Seeing his passion, many of Tenda's elders persuaded him to partake in the Trials of the Toa, which he passed with flying colors, grounding a belief that the mission to Metru Nui was his destiny. He now serves as the chief engineer of Garan's Company, building and maintains the powered equipment for excavation, and is the leading expert on analyzing Metru Nui technology.
Skills, Abilities, and Tools
As an engineer, Tenda is well equipped with gear and gadgets for digging into the dark underground, the designs of some gadgets based on old technology collected on his missions. His finest work of engineering is his Utility Drill, a drilling mainframe powered by charged crystals and able to swap out attachments for specific tasks. Said attachments include a chain digger, a mining drill, and a crusher bit. Tenda's control over his element guided by his education in geology contribute immensely to his excavation capabilities. He doesn't have experience in combat, but he does have training with the sword and carriers a Diamond Blade given to him upon becoming a Toa.
