Tidal Wave (Makuta)

Tidal Wave was a Makuta member of the Apprentices of Caiaphus who was killed in one of their many conflicts. He was briefly resurrected in the UG, but was killed again by Raziel, who consumed his soul.

History
Tidal Wave served as an apprentice of Caiaphus for some time until he was killed by one of their enemies. He was resurrected when the operators of the UG pushed it into the Original Universe and used a resurrection matrix to draw in the lost souls of many of the OU's deceased characters and resurrect them in new, identical bodies. Tidal Wave found himself next to the formerly-deceased AoC members Akzer, Rahn, and many other apprentices.

A booming voice told them that they had been trapped in a "tournament of the dead" of sorts, and that their only chance to escape from the UG was by making pacts with other characters and completing challenges. The voice also told them that their powers and strength had been taken from them and trapped in badges attached to their chests.

The Apprentices worked together to complete their first challenge: defeating a giant crab. Akzer and Rahn grabbed the crab's arms so that Tidal Wave and two other Apprentices could punch it. Unfortunately, once they had completed the challenge, they realized that, if they could fight each other for life force and strength, one of them could eventually collect enough to escape from the UG. Akzer attacked Tidal Wave, which created a brawl between the apprentices. After claiming several badges for himself, Tidal Wave managed to escape from the brawl, as did Akzer and Rahn, so Tulio proposed that they teamed up to take more badges. Tidal Wave agreed.

The apprentices were soon found by Raziel, who had detected the UG's opening and was lured there by its large amount of souls. He immediately feasted on Tidal Wave's soul, killing him, leaving nothing but his badge behind.
