Cassima's Quest[]
In Cassima's Quest, 'the father' (see Lir) was the parent of Mordack, Manannan, and Hagatha. He and his wife were cursed by his brother, Shadrack (unofficial), the uncle of Manannan. The curse slowly turned him evil, and he formed the Black Cloak Society (unofficial). The curse spread to his children who also became evil. Over time he also spread the curse to others, as the society grew. Shadrack's plan was fulfilled and he took over the society.
AGDI universe[]
Morgeilen is the leader of the Black Cloak Society (unofficial) known as The Father.
Following his brother's self-inflicted mortality (or was it betrayal), Morgeilen disappeared and took on the identity of The Father in order to hide his past. Soon after his brother was killed (although the exact means of the death are unknown). With Morgeilen gone, Granthithor became Legenimor's successor. The Father, is an enigmatic figure, and remains mysterious throughout the game, even his face (appears cloaked) until the end of the game when he shows himself completely and curses Daventry. He is the head of a secret organization and gives orders to Hagatha to kill Graham.
He coveted his brothers powers, and sought after the Crown of the First King which contained the essence of that power. It is implied that he was behind abduction of Valanice in order to lure Graham to Kolyma. In the mean time, he used his identity of Gervain, a minister of Daventry (an identity that he took even before Graham left for Kolyma). He used the identity to set his plans in motion to be coronated in the untimely event of King Graham's death, as he was the second in command. As soon as The Father reveals his true self to Graham he puts three curses on Daventry.
TSL universe[]
The 'father' is a position within The Family (unofficial), a sub-organization within the Black Cloak Society (unofficial). Those under the father are known as 'brothers' and 'sisters'. Manannan (unofficial) would give anything for their father’s love. The world does not suspect that the Society has reformed, their father strikes when the world is least prepared.[1] There are apparently several fathers and mothers in the organization. The Family asks for complete commitment. It is their way: one must give and give to their brothers and sisters, to their mothers and fathers, proving they are part of the Family.”[2]
It's possible that Shadrack as the leader of Black Cloaks, is also one of the "Fathers", but also a "Brother" to Manannan, and others.
Valanice refers to Manannan as her "Father"/"father" (after learnign that her parents in Kolyma were not her real parents), which Manannan notes this Hagatha, seeming to show some 'regret' (it's scene is again brought up in the review scenes in Chapter 4). In Chapter 2, Manannan refers to Gwydion/Alexander as his 'son'. It's not clear if this usage is tied to the Father or the "Family".
