Hailing from Xiros and born into Clan Racrania, Kulta was a promising Skull Grinder. He was born near the end of the Kelkori War and was too young to fight. He later received training to resist Skull Magic although he was fascinated with the powers of Skull Magic. When he was older he traveled across the Skull Isles to islands such as Yormel and Kel and learned a fair bit of Skull Magic himself which he would use later in life. He befriended the Regional Commander Axato who saw himself in Kulta. Later Kulta gained the aid of Byntra the Skull Basher who chose to serve him. Looking for Karthan Kulta went to Kel and navigated the mists and managed to find Karthan himself. Kulta asked many questions and Karthan answered all of them and told of Okoto to the west of the Skull Isles. Kulta was intrigued by the possibility of another island beyond the Skull Isles. Kulta went to Axato to get his help putting together an expedition. After convincing the High Council, Kulta, Axato, and Byntra set off for Okoto when they arrived Kulta tried to win the Okotans over trying to mimic their language but failed and a battle ensued. He became the “leader” of the Skull Raiders and became more of a pirate who raided the island constantly. When a group of Skull Raiders deserted the Skull Raiders Kulta was furious and more frequently raided Okoto. Later he and the other Skull Raiders were driven into the Pouks Mountain Range by Ekimu, Makuta and the Protectors of the time. There they built an underground city, Makuta ventured to the city to try to establish peace with the Skull Raiders and Kulta pledged to help him unbeknownst to Makuta, Kulta was planning to betray him. Later after the Battle of the Mask Makers Kulta was visited by Shadowy Flame of Makuta’s reach from the Shadow Realm who asked for his assistance in retrieving the Mask of Creation. Kulta agreed and went to the City of the Mask Makers with his lieutenant, Byntra. There he used Skull Magic to raise an army of the dead Skull Raiders who long ago deserted his group. The Toa soon arrived and defeated the Lord of the Skull Spiders and made their way into the City of The Mask Makers defeating any Skull Creatures that got in their way Kulta was ordered to destroy the Mask of Creation by Makuta, he hastily prepared Ekimu’s forge to destroy the mask while Byntra stood guard. The Toa awakened Ekimu and they went to the forge. Bynta held them off as long as he could but he was defeated. Kulta knowing he would never destroy the mask in time, put it on his face and used its power to defeat the Toa with one swing of his mace. However the Toa fought on maskless, buying Ekimu enough time to reconstruct his forge hammer and knock the Mask of Creation from Kulta’s face, defeating him. He and Bynta had their masks taken and were put in a prison. Kulta telepathically called Makuta for help who sent a Skull Spider to give Kulta’s mask back to him. Kulta broke free from the prison and returned to the Skull Raider City there he challenged Ekimu to a duel without Ekimu’s hammer, Ekimu agreed and used Onua’s hammer to defeat Kulta, as the city was brought down on them Kulta pleaded for Makuta’s aid to no avail the Skull Raiders were sealed into their city and Kulta was killed by the surviving Skull Raiders now lead by Frelten.
