Artakha and his older brother, Karzahni were created by the Great Beings prior of the creation of Mata Nui and were given their own realms to rule as Artakha named the chosen island after himself. Soon after that, he and Karzahni fought against each other for the possession of the Mask of Creation and the battle ends with Artakha won and obtained the mask. While Karzahni lived in the place where the Matoran were sent to be repaired, Artakha chose to rule his island where the Matoran came and worked in peace and comfort. He also became an inventor as he creates various objects for anyone who asked, which included the weapons for the Order of Mata Nui and was also responsible for creating Axalara T9, Jetrax T6 and Rockoh T3 which were then placed in the island of Karda Nui.
Later, he believed that he was capable of creating his own Rahi, he eventually created four Crystal Serpents. However, the creatures were proved to be wild and instead of destroying them, he decided to release them into the wild before focusing them back to his work of creating the masks and tools such as the Staff of Artakha.
Thousands of years later, his island was attacked by the Brotherhood of Makuta who sought to steal the Kanohi Avohkii, which he created. Despite both his efforts and the assistance from the Order of Mata Nui, the Brotherhood breached into his fortress and stole the mask with the help of Kojol.
Following the incident, Artakha requested the Order to destroy the maps and charts of his island and even eliminate anyone with the knowledge of his island's location. Soon after that, Artakha and his island were forgotten and faded into legend, though he continued to make more supplies that were needed across the Matoran Universe.
When the Toa Mata traveled to visit his island, Artakha appeared and spoke to them
