Hey boss! How's it going? Wait, you're not... like the other guy, are you? Meh, just joking! No worries friend, I got your back.
 
— Father, to his Master's next potential candidate

Father is a mysterious entity of unknown origin. He appears both in the Ancient Legends and The New Kingdoms canon. He has also appeared in A Children's Anuad canon, being seen serving a mysterious figure and fulfilling his wishes.

Background[]

According to Lily, Father, much like the former, is an entity who contains half the power to defeat the gods and even nigh-omnipotence itself. This entity is also said to be Lily's biological father.

Despite this, Father treated Lily poorly from the start of the latter's childhood. The former performed hideous acts to the latter, such as torture, violation, beration, and unreasonable punishment. This is due to Lily having half the power of the powerful ability to slay gods and destroy even nigh-omnipotence.

When Lily escaped captivity, Father went increasingly furious and impatient in his destructive goal to attain his full power, and has sent agents all over Tamriel in pursuit of his own daughter.

After his crushing defeat at the hands of Horus Steelfang, Father fled to parts unknown. At some point, he collides with another Aurbis, only to meet defeat at the hands of Thalna. Again, he traversed the Rift, and eventually met Thanatos, whom he pledged his loyalty to. It is later revealed that he has lost interest in his daughter and also his own power. He sought to serve Thanatos to the bitter end for reasons unknown.

Personality[]

Father is shown to be sadistic, cruel, cocky, and somewhat arrogant. He does not let any mere failure off his eyes and usually punishes subordinates whom fail him with death. His only interest is his unknown goal, which is unknown to all but himself.

However, this was no longer the case during his appearance in ACA. He was less cocky than before, and is more cautious in his approach. He serves Thanatos with distinction, but is unsure of his true motives.

Powers and Abilities[]

Father's powers resemble that of Lily's. However, after his defeat, he has lost much of his power and has been reduced to a mere shadow of his former self. Currently, he is a Sorcerer, but his skills regarding his class currently remain unknown.

Trivia[]

  • Father's motives for absolute destruction alludes to Kefka Palazzo and Exdeath of the Final Fantasy series.
