The Mother is the leader of the religion in the Twelve Colonies of Kobol that worships "the one true God." She and other leaders of the faith are 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 authorizes Obal Ferras to dispose of STO leader Clarice Willow given his belief that apotheosis is "blasphemy," but Clarice manages to turn the assassination attempt back against Ferras. The Mother watches Ferras' death from a balcony before leaving, upset. She then meets with Clarice and authorizes her to take control of all STO cells on Caprica so that the plan for apotheosis can be carried out (CAP: "Unvanquished").
The Mother later comes to visit 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 suggests that an accident might befall Rand during training. As a way of further securing Diego's loyalty, the Mother gives him the ring that belonged to Obal Ferras (CAP: "The Heavens Will Rise").
