''' | 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]]. | ||
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 | The Mother later visited STO training camp leader [[Diego]] in his "rustic" living quarters. Disturbed by [[Lacy Rand]]'s connections to Clarice and her apparent ability to control [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]]s smuggled to Gemonon by the [[Ha'la'tha]], the Mother suggested that an accident might befall Rand during training. As a way of further securing Diego's loyalty, the Mother gave him the ring that belonged to Ferras ([[CAP]]: "[[The Heavens Will Rise]]"). | ||
The Mother was subsequently deposed by Rand, who led a successful coup against the church leadership using the U-87s. Rand herself took on the position of Mother, with [[Odin Sinclair]] serving as her lieutenant. ([[CAP]]: "[[Apotheosis]]"). | |||
