== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
On [[Spherus Magna]], Perditus lived with the rest of the Fire Tribe under the [[Element Lord of Fire]]. He was born sometime before [[Gelu]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=328|post=13111|lines=7,14}} At some point, Perditus came to serve a Great Being.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=887|post=14525471|lines=2,6}} He fought in the [[Core War]] in the service of the Fire Tribe. During the war, Perditus used his military rank to gain access to a trove of technology left behind by the [[Great Beings]]. He developed the [[Thornatus#Thornatus V9|Thornatus V9]] from designs found there, and used it as his personal chariot.{{BookCitation|MNGtBM|83}} When [[the Shattering]] ended the war, Perditus was in the [[Spherus Magna#Bara Magna|Great Barren]], which formed a separate planet called [[Bara Magna]]. After the Shattering, he joined the Fire Tribe in the newly developing [[Arena Matches|social system]] on Bara Magna.{{BookCitation|MNGtBM|82}} Perditus stayed in contact with the Great Being he served, who had entered the Matoran Universe and taken the name [[Velika]].{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=887|post=14525471|lines=2,6}}

=== Glatorian career ===
Upon becoming a Glatorian, Perditus emerged from being an unrecognized fighter and became the Second Glatorian for the Fire Tribe. He later stepped down from the position in order to embrace vehicle combat{{BookCitation|MNGtBM|82}} so that he could travel around Bara Magna and keep Velika informed of what happened there while keeping a low profile.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=887|post=14525471|lines=2,6}} He became a champion pilot, eventually winning the [[Great Tournament]] vehicle division.<ref name="perditus">[http://web.archive.org/web/20090717060902/http://bionicle.lego.com:80/en-us/story/bios/glatorian/Perditus.aspx BIONICLE Bios - Perditus] BIONICLE.com</ref> In the penultimate Great Tournament, Perditus lost to the [[Kaxium#Kaxium V3|Kaxium V3]]. Over the next year, he practiced maneuvering and counter-attacks to defeat the motorcycle.{{BookCitation|MNGtBM|83}}

[[Raanu]], after exiling [[Malum]], approached Perditus and asked him to become the Second Glatorian again. Perditus refused the offer, in order to maintain his role as a vehicle pilot.{{BookCitation|MNGtBM|82}}

=== Skrall War ===
Along with the other Glatorian of Bara Magna, Perditus traveled to [[Atero]] in order to take part in the most recent Great Tournament.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=193|post=7683}} During the first round of the competition, the Skrall [[Battle of Atero|invaded]] the arena, killing Agori and Glatorian. Perditus managed to escape the onslaught, and returned to [[Vulcanus]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=199|post=7948|lines=17,30}}

Perditus, piloting his Thornatus V9, played a pivotal role in defending Vulcanus against a Skrall advance following their declaration of war on the other tribes of Bara Magna.{{BookCitation|MNGtBM|82}}

Perditus later joined the [[Battle of Roxtus|fight]] against the Skrall in [[Roxtus]]. After the villages united, he joined the new Agori [[Mega-Village]]'s defense force under the leadership of [[Ackar]].{{BookCitation|TLR}} He later evacuated the Mega-Village with its other inhabitants at Raanu's behest.{{BookCitation|JE}}

=== Battle of Bara Magna ===
When {{p|Mata Nui|Being}} gained control of the [[Prototype Robot|robot]] that comprised the Mega-Village and started to combat the invading [[Teridax]], Perditus and the other Glatorian and Agori attempted to assist and distracted Teridax by charging at him. However, they were blasted away by him when he noticed their efforts. Soon after, a battalion of [[Rahkshi]] emerged from the body of Teridax and attacked the Glatorian. The Rahkshi were later destroyed by [[Tahu]] using the [[Golden Armor]]. Mata Nui was able to kill Teridax and carry out his mission of reuniting Bara Magna with its moons, reforming Spherus Magna. Perditus now lives on Spherus Magna.{{BookCitation|JE}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
