| - In the AGDI games several members appear including a few non-canon memberships;
* Morgeilen (The Father)
* Hagatha (unofficial) (Sister)
* Caldaur (Brother)
* Manannan (unofficial) (Brother)
* Mordack (unofficial) (Brother)
* Lolotte (unofficial) (Sister)
* Malicia (unofficial) (Sister)
* Shadrack (unofficial) (Brother)
* Abdul Alhazred (unofficial) (Brother) Note: In KQ2RTS, Neither Shadrack nor Abdul Alhazred are mentioned (though the game does reference a few other details from KQ6). KQ3R gives a few more clues about the motives of the various members of the society, in fact showing that all the members had similar goals involving conquering various kingdoms taking them from unbelievers, in order to take over the entire world for the Father, and prepare for the coming Ascension. The duties to the Father for each member of the society, is to usurp control from the unfaithful, and destroy all who oppose the Black Cloaks, so that the world may be prepared for the Great Day of Ascension. In KQ2:RTS, the Black Cloak Society was formed almost a millennium before when Morgeilen left the service of Daventry following the his brother's choice to give up his power to the cosmos. Morgeilen went into hiding, changed his identity to The Father, and started searching for 'the item'. He brought together like minded followers whose sole reason was to increase their powers and prepare for Morgeilen's Ascension in one thousand years. With Morgeilen missing, Granthithor became the successor to the throne of Daventry. Morgeilen learned he needed the Crown of the First King in order to find the item, and plotted against King Graham to obtain it. It could not be taken, but had to be given to to The Father willingly, or passed on to him through normal succession. Morgeilen hoped to have Graham killed in Kolyma, so that the kingdom would make him the new successor. Everyone in the society prepared for Morgeilen's future Ascension. They knew when the appointed time came, only his faithful would be rewarded, and the unenlightened would perish. For the Ascension would not only give Morgeilen, his brother's ultimate power, but would also most likely destroy the the world. Only those who were faithful members of the Society would survive. Hagatha and Caldaur joined forces to rule over Kolyma. They were also ordered to kill Graham, so that the father could become the next heir to Daventry. Manannan kidnapped Alexander to weaken Daventry's resolve, while the Father attempted to manipulate Graham into giving him the crown willingly. Lolotte not only assisted Malicia and weakened Etheria by kidnapping Edgar. She also nearly conquered Tamir by stealing Genesta's amulet, and taking her powers. Malicia made several attempts at conquering Eldritch and Etheria from her own sister and brother-in-law. Shadrack and Abdul Alhazred were in cahoots to conquer the Green Isles. "Morgeilen and Shadrack were meant to be different people. Not alternate forms. The Father doesn't really take alternate forms, btw. The way you see him at the end of KQ2+ was how he always looked and his "Gervain"-disguise is simply him with his hair tied back in a ponytail and different clothes."-Erpy In Romancing the Stones, Hagatha had asked Angelina by letter if she wanted to join the their secret society due to her magic prowess, but was later denied membership because she stole Hagatha's nightingale which was the main ingredient in a youth potion that they both wanted. Angelina was presumably killed by Hagatha, while Graham was hiding in the basement of the antique shop. Manannan had sent a letter to Hagatha discussing the plans of the Father, and how they intended to fulfill it. In Romancing the Stones, the members of the Black Cloak Society call themselves Brothers and Sisters. The Father is the term that Morgeilen gave himself to denote his leadership of the society. Hagatha has a black cloak within her cave, and in a note to Angelina she mentions that black is the dress code for the community she belongs to. Lavidia mentioned that Caldaur used to practice magic, and hints that he was part of a society where his black cloak meant something to them. Caldaur later admits to having been a member of the society. Later on Hagatha, and The Father discuss he is still a member of their group, and he is ordered kill Graham. Later on Caldaur would terminate his membership to their brotherhood, upsetting Hagatha and The Father. In the final scene of the game, he is no longer wearing a black cloak. Coincidentally, Morgeilen shares the title 'the Father' with Lucreto. However there is no connection between the two characters.
