- ―Motto of the Children of Mortis
The following article is the culmination of the Brotherhood’s Intelligence reports on the enemy organization known as The Children of Mortis. They first appeared on the Brotherhood’s radar during the early days of Darth Nehalem’s term as Grand Master. The members of the Brotherhood first faced off against the Children during the events of the Rite of Supremacy: Escalation on the planet of Dandoran.
Purpose
The exact goals of the Children are currently unknown to the Brotherhood. They have a fanatical obsession with the concept of unbinding chains holding them back. It is believed this has something to do with the Force itself.
The Dark Brotherhood
It has only been recently that the Children have taken an interest in the Dark Brotherhood, and our members. Our single tangible encounter with the Children came with the appearance of The Seer on the planet of Dandoran, along with her personal guard, and control of the abominations changed with the crystals. She appeared to take a curious and teasing approach to our efforts on the planet.
Organization
The Children of Mortis is an ancient sect that has existed since the early days of the Old Republic. Widespread throughout the galaxy it has moved from system to system over the years, with its current seats of power unknown. It is a very hierarchical organization, with many branches into different subunits all unified under the control of an individual known as The Father.
The currently know structure of the Children of Mortis
The Father
The Father is the apparent title for the role of leader over the entirety of the organization, passed along through the millennia. In the absolute position of great authority, The Father appears to be the ultimate power and definitive authority in the functions of the Children. Spoken of only with intense reverence, little has been found about his actual identity, or of those who came before him.
The Lightbringers
The Lightbringers are led by The Harbinger of the Light, an incredibly powerful Force-user who guides the Lightbringers along their path of understanding the Light side of the Force. “The Harbinger” has been identified as J’hon Whetu, although he appears to never utilize his given name. The Lightbringers are known specifically for their crystal enhanced weaponry and armor.
The Lightbringers are known to be comprised of three sections. The Dawnseekers who are the major recruitment arm of the Children. The Startouched who are illusive researchers, and responsible for the Lightbringers’ advanced weaponry and armor. The Flamesparkers, a collection of highly skilled warriors.
The Truthwardens
The Truthwardens are led by The Arbiter of Balance, an accomplished Force-user who guides the Truthwardens along their path of finding the balance between the Light and Dark sides of the Force. “The Arbiter” has been identified as Loremi P’sum. The Truthwardens are known specifically for their advanced crystal enhanced vehicles ranging from small speeders to powerful walkers to starfighters and destroyers.
The Truthwardens are known to have several sections. One is led by “The Unifier”, identified as one Dolori s’Amet, husband to Loremi P’sum. Another section is known as the Grayblades, led by one known as The Sword. The Grayblades are believed to be some form of secret police, defending the Children from internal threats.
The Shadowseers
The Shadowseers are led by The Seer in the Darkness, a horrifying and twisted Force-user who guides the Shadowseers along their path of finding the deepest recesses of the Dark side of the Force. “The Seer” has been identified as Rose Telsniw. As seen on Dandoran, the Shadowseers are known for their hybridization of crystals and organic beings to create powerful monstrosities they alone can control.
The Shadowseers are also known to be comprised of several units, however currently only one is known of, the Fateweavers, whom are led by an individual known as “The Loom”.
History
At present, it has been determined that the Children of Mortis have existed for thousands of years in some form or another. Past Supreme Chancellors of the Republic, Members of the Jedi Council, and other high-ranking officials have been identified throughout history as members of the group.
