I do recall that his original name was Colin. He changed it to "The Shadowed One" last Naming Day.

"We're sure he's just going through a phase," Colin's parents said when asked about the name change. "He's still the sweet, gentle boy we've always known, so what does it matter what he wants us to call him?"

I think it is either Okoto or Ekimu. Listen to this- I think maybe these were one of the original names for the Shadowed One but were never used.

[fishers64]

That's my reasoning behind Drax. One, that it was used in Hero Factory, and two, that it is simple. The Shadowed One sounds majestic and important, so the reason why he used that was to cover up his simple name that would have sounded pathetic as the leader of a crime syndicate that he wanted taken seriously.

last name, Shadowed One, first name, The.

You're right. Makes me wonder if the question was serious or not.

[Archon~]

I'd dig combining a real person's name that worked on Bionicle, like Greg!

Gretey

 

or

 

Fareg

 

Both are silly, makes sense to for them to be covered up and kept secret!

Well, even if it was, there was really no way to give a good answer, considering we have literally no idea what names were in the running for the Shadowed One. Without that, "Leeroy Jenkins" is as good a guess as "Kaharad" or whatever.

That's what I mean. It's like asking "What color hair do you think most Plutonians have?"

[Makaru]

The good people of Plutonia didn't die for this.

[Rahkshi Lalonde]

It's red by the way.

 

the hair and the name, that is.

I was referring to the planet, BTW (ugh, dwarf planet, whatever, I'm still upset about that).

I mean, it was either drop Pluto as a planet, or start making very big asteroids planets. They did, in fact, have reasons for coming up with a solid definition of planet, and reasons for why it excludes Pluto.

 

I'm sorry for the tangent (but then again, the topic is pointless), but I don't understand the backlash against the defining of planet just because it was necessary to exclude Pluto.

I still think "Grefar" is the best bet. It's as good as any, anyway.

I don't see the point of even guessing. If The Shadowed One is the only name he actually uses, why would his "real" name matter? For that matter, how could any name be more "real" than the name everybody in the known universe knows him by? This isn't a secret identity, a name that identifies him with a side of his life that's every bit as important as his life as "The Shadowed One". It's just a name that he abandoned before he ever acquired any sort of reputation.

Good point.  But what if his real identity was Makuta or someone that you never would have thought of?

 

For example: Wait, Lariska is the shadowed one?  That makes no sense at all!  

 

And then if they were to go into detail further they could explain it more and why and ends up finishing in a unique plot twist but G1 had plenty of those so really it would be unnecessary.

It certainly does not; they've talked in contexts where they very clearly weren't the same person. Besides, Lariska has been described as being green, and the Shadowed One is orange and black.

 

I get your general point, but I highly doubt that's the case. Greg would have had no trouble revealing his name at any point if it were related to a twist like that; the name would already have cleared legal, and it would definitely be a different enough situation from Teridax to not warrant ire from fans. His old name is just trivia.

The point is we all took some time to have some harmless fun before we go back to the grueling trivia caves to mine hard fact and develop "theory lung" for which there is no cure or treatment.

Maybe the Shadowed One doesn't even remember his name anymore. He hasn't used it in thousands of years. And the only other person who knew it was Ancient, who he killed.

Exactly!  You never know, but then again knowing Greg you're right.  

 

Or it ends up being the first time he has decided to do it with any of his stories and not only are we shocked about the story but we are also shocked about Greg.     But the chances of that happening are one million to one.
