Othniel is a Toa of Stone, formerly a member of an order of Matoran monks who rejected elemental training in favor of physical development due to their unlikely odds of ever becoming a Toa. Ironically, Jethro Utu ran into Othniel in the field when Othniel saved Jethro’s daughter from a pirate Anti-Toa. Jethro brought him a Toa Stone a few weeks later, and Othniel eventually married Jethro’s daughter.

Othniel is a quiet, reserved individual with a near perfect memory and a discerning outlook. He often serves as a peacekeeper for the team, but has adopted his father-in-law Jethro’s more brutal methods since his “sabbatical” from life. Othniel is equipped with two prosthetic arms, which enhance his martial artistry and compensate for his underdeveloped control over elemental energy.

Othniel takes advantage of this with his incredible martial arts prowess, but also in determining true motives and attitudes in his targets and teammates.
