The Toa Hagah team of Makuta Verahk was a group of elite Toa, specially selected to protect him from threats as his personal bodyguards. Under the leadership of a Toa of Gravity named Barionk, the team was entrusted with dealing with matters Verahk could not attend to himself. Following a rebellion instigated by Norik, leader of Teridax's Toa Hagah, all but three of this team were killed of by Brotherhood minions or Verahk himself, leaving Barionk, Zevrai, and Ronkoz as the only known survivors.
