Tavrut was never the most combat-creative Makuta. Mostly relying on brute strength to defend himself, he stuck to his original job of creating Rahi. He meticulously balanced the ecosystems under his control, and didn’t care about much else that happened outside that. However, once Teridax made his plans public for the other Makuta, Tavrut joined the cause, saying that overthrowing the Great Spirit sounded “like a pretty good idea, I think.”
However, when Teridax saw Tavrut’s armor, the black mask of shadows, the black/grey/maroon colors, he decided to sideline Tavrut. Teridax’s vision involved him being “The Makuta,” and thus, someone who looked so similar could not have any crucial roles. Tavrut’s insistence on participating led Teridax to hate him so much that he made sure that Tavrut was at the most dangerous spot next to the Codrex as the storms hit. However, this backfired.
As the storms ravaged the makuta, killing nearly all of them, the Ignika was ejected from the Matoran Universe. The surviving Makuta, with a newfound unity in their hatred for Teridax, quickly left, not paying enough attention to notice the barely living Tavrut on the ground. As the Ignika rocketed off from the Codrex, it let out a blast of life energy that hit Tavrut and healed him, leaving a glowing blue infection on his shoulder.
The infection has spread since then, corroding his armor and reforming something akin to flesh beneath it. Tavrut now wanders the newly formed Spherus Magna, avoiding Matoran/Agori camps in search for something that could cure this infection, whatever it is…
