| ~ Pridak after finally obtaining the Kanohi Ignika before its power took over him. |

Past
Not much was known of Pridak's past, though he was once employed as the servant of the Brotherhood of Makuta and an aide of Icarax. When Miserix ordered Mutran to travel to Xia to order the Vortixx to lower the prices for the Matoran, Pridak accompanied both Icarax and Mutran as the three of them traveled to Xia. While Mutran and Icarax negiotated with the Vortixx, Pridak was intrigued by the island and its resources as he entered into the Mountain. He was then caught up by Mutran and Icarax as they knocked him out and dragged him off
Founding of the League of the Six Kingdoms
Pridak's influence over the armies of the Matoran Universe grew stronger, rising in par with the Brotherhood. Along with his ally Takadox, he began to create the army called League of the Six Kingdoms as they also convinced the other warlords: Kalmah, Ehlek, Carapar and Mantax into joining the organization, deciding to call themselves "Barraki", which means warlord in the matoran tonge.
After sometimes later, Pridak then devised his plan of overthrowing the Great Spirit and create a new universe where the strong beings will rule. Then, he and his allies began their attack on Metru Nui in order to overthrow the Great Spirit. Pridak and his allies were eventually defeated and were captured as the result.
Banished into the Pit
After their defeat, Teridax intended to have the Barraki killed as punishment for their crimes but Botar rejected his suggestion despite Teridax's objection. Then suddenly, alongside with Hydraxon and a few Maxilos Robots, Botar decided to took the Barraki and transport them into the Pit.
During their stay in the Pit, Pridak and the other Barraki stayed prisioners in the Pit, until the Great Cataclysm, an earthquake eventually destroyed the Pit and as the result, Pridak and the Barraki escaped into the mutagenic ocean. Once done, Pridak then reunited by force the rest of the Barraki and they began to create an army of underwater monsters when they learned that they could not reclaimed their kingdoms outside.
Quest for the Mask of Life
Before the arrival of the Toa Mahri and the Kanohi Ignika have just sank into Mahri Nui, Pridak and the Barraki began to terrorize the Matoran of Mahri Nui in search of the information about the whereabouts of the Kanohi Ignika, clashing against the Toa Mahri Nuva, and eventually against Teridax, Pridak's maquinations ended up when the Mask of Life interfiered with they plans, releasing upon them a curse which gave Pridak the mind of a paranoic animal, with the cunning and cruel warlord turned to a rambling, mindless beast, he posed a threat no more to the Universe.
