'''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''' was the leader of the religion in the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies of Kobol]] that worshiped "[[God (RDM)|the one true God]]." She and other leaders of the faith were based in an ancient church complex situated 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}}.
Fifty-eight years before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], the Mother of the time authorized [[Obal Ferras]] to dispose of [[STO]] leader [[Clarice Willow]] given his belief that [[apotheosis]] was "blasphemy," but Clarice managed to turn the assassination attempt back against Ferras. The Mother watched Ferras' death from a balcony before leaving, upset. She then met with Clarice and authorized her to take control of all STO cells on [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]] so that the plan for apotheosis could 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}}.

{{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)}}.}}

*According to outlines for [[Caprica Season 2|''Caprica'' Season 2]], {{spoilli|Mother was not killed during Rand's coup, and would have made an uneasy alliance with [[Daniel Graystone]] to reclaim her old position.<ref>{{archivelink|live=No|url=http://www.capricatimes.com/the-caprica-times-exclusive-interview-kevin-murphy|title=''The Caprica Times'' Exclusive Interview: Kevin Murphy}}</ref>}}
