However, Nocturn was not destined to use the mask, and was cursed by it. They also gave him a Squid Launcher to use. He was given the Ignika to hold by the Barraki who did not trust each other to keep it. Nocturn fought and defeated the Zyglak, allowing the Barraki to escape.

Takadox then tricked him into fighting the Zyglak that were chasing the Barraki. Enraged at the idea that someone was trying to hide something from him, Nocturn opened a hole in the wall of the Pit, allowing Kalmah and Takadox, trapped inside, to escape. In the Black Water, Nocturn noticed that the entrance to the Pit, usually open, was sealed. Nocturn later spotted one of the Barraki, though the warlord ignored him. When Nocturn threatened to snap the Barraki in two for doubting his word, Takadox used his hypnotic gaze to win himself a powerful ally in his search, imparting instructions that were to be carried out if the mask should ever fall into the giant's hands. Takadox spoke to Nocturn, asking if he knew the whereabouts of the mask. When the Kanohi Ignika fell to the ocean floor, the Barraki set out to find it. Nocturn took to residing in the Razor Whale's Teeth, his preferred area. He also crafted Pridak's Shark Tooth Blades, using his massive strength to fuse more than 10,000 Takea shark teeth together. Nocturn was eventually recruited into the the Barraki's armies, falling into Ehlek's contingent, where he eventually rose to become a lieutenant. Nocturn's regenerative ability gave him his arm back, but without its tentacle. Some time after his escape, Nocturn encountered Pridak, who severed one of his arms. Nocturn could have left the Pit due to his amphibious nature, but chose not to, as he recognized that his presence was unwanted anywhere else. He was sentenced to the Pit as a result of the massive loss of life due to his action.Īfter the Great Cataclysm, Nocturn escaped into the waters along with the rest of the surviving inmates. In a fit of rage, Nocturn struck at a weak point of his former home, destroying it. Nocturn lived on a small island with the rest of his species.
