| '''Blessed Mother''', '''Her Holy Mother''', or simply '''Mother''' are variations on the title given to the leader of the [[Monotheist Church]] in the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies of Kobol]] in the years prior to the [[Cylon War]]. | | The '''Mother''' is the leader of the religion in the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol]] that worships [[God (RDM)|the one true God]], based in a mountain range on [[Gemenon]]. |

|
| In {{BCH|58}}, Mother is based in the "Retreat" located in the mountains of [[Gemenon]]. Skeptical of {{RDM|Caprica}}n [[Soldiers of the One]] cell leader [[Clarice Willow]]'s notion of [[apotheosis]], Mother authorizes Monotheist Conclave leader [[Obal Ferras]] to dispose of Willow. Gaining support from other STO members - including [[Diego]] - Willow is able to turn the tables, orchestrating Ferras' assassination as Mother looks on. Confronted by Willow and her plan for a "[[Virtual World|virtual]] heaven," Mother cedes control of all Caprican STO cells to Willow {{CAP|Unvanquished}}.
| | She authorizes [[Obal Ferras]] to dispose of [[STO]] leader [[Clarice Willow]] given his belief that [[apotheosis]] is "blasphemy", but Willow manages to turn the assassination attempt back against Ferras. The Mother watches Ferras' death from a balcony before leaving, upset. She then meets with Willow and authorizes her to take control of all STO cells on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] so that the plan for apotheosis can be carried out ([[CAP]]: "[[Unvanquished]]"). |

|
| Mother later visits STO training camp leader Diego in his "rustic" living quarters. Disturbed by [[Lacy Rand]]'s connection to Clarice Willow and her apparent ability to control [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]]s smuggled to Gemenon by the [[Ha'la'tha]], Mother suggests that an accident might befall Rand during training. As a way of further securing Diego's loyalty, Mother gives him the ring that belonged to the late Obal Ferras {{CAP|The Heavens Will Rise}}. | | Mother later comes to visit STO training camp leader [[Diego]] in his "rustic" living quarters.

| {{spoiltext|Mother is subsequently deposed by Rand, who leads a successful coup against the church leadership using the U-87s and a handful of STO trainees, including [[Odin Sinclair]], [[Lexon]] and [[Devanna]]. Rand herself takes on the position of Mother, with Sinclair serving as her lieutenant. Some time after Rand's coup, Clarice Willow visits her Holy Mother on Gemenon to plead for the Church's recognition of [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylons]] as members of the monotheist religion {{CAP|Apotheosis (episode)}}.}}
