The Mother was the leader of the religion in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol that worshiped "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 so that the plan for apotheosis could be carried out (CAP: "Unvanquished").
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 Units 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").
Notes
- According to the unproduced outlines for Caprica Season 2, Mother was not killed during Rand's coup, and would have made an uneasy alliance with Daniel Graystone to reclaim her old position.[1]
