The Moirai come from the planet Moirai in the outer rings. They had
existed for thousands of years. The Moirai exercise an ancient set
of powers and as the name suggests, their principle belief is in the
fates. Members of the order are often 'foretold' of future events
and are guided to their predecessors.The Order of the Moirai
consists of three 'chapters'.
Clotho
Lachesis
Atropos
Each chapter follows a general wisdom and teaching, but each the
individual chapters have their own style as well. As each head of
the chapter dies, he has usually found his replacement to continue
the order.
The Moirai existed in the galaxy largely unknown for a long time,
but they eventually spread out to Earth. Unfortunately conditions on
Earth infected the Moirai with a non-lethal condition that rendered
them 'sterile'. They could have no further children. As the last of
the Moirai began to die out, the three last heads of the order came
to Earth. The oldest, Atropos, was guided to a small orphan boy whom
he took away to train. Unfortunately Atropos died almost
immediately. The remaining Moirai, Lachesis and Clotho took it upon
themselves to train the boy in all three chapters of the Moirai. It
was necessary to train this new 'Atropos' immediately and hence
Atropos has known who he is all along.
Lachesis and Clotho also trained two 'sleepers'. New Moirai that
currently don't know that they are Moirai, that will come to know
with the passing of the last original heads of the chapter.
Lachesis and Clotho knew that they must create new strong Moirai to
continue. For it is written that a new Moirai leader would rise, not
of Moirai blood and begin a great new Order....at any cost.....
