Little is known of the Dark Brethren, but they appear to be extra-dimensional beings of enormous power and existed during the Age of The Gods. The Brethren and Wiseman, though any connection between the two is unclear, can be seen as the most evil and ultimate villains in the Baten Kaitos Series, completely devoid of any kindness, remorse, or sympathy, and serve as the catalyst for all the events in the series. They are often feared by the general populace above all else just by the mere legends surrounding them and dwell in Zaurak Keep, later known as Cor Hydrae after being banished to another dimension, filled with their monstrous armies.

| - For a detailed account of the Brethrens' actions through the five sibling gods, see Malpercio. Little is known of the Dark Brethren, but they appear to be extra-dimensional beings of enormous power and existed during the Age of The Gods. The Brethren and Wiseman, though any connection between the two is unclear, can be seen as the most evil and ultimate villains in the Baten Kaitos Series, completely devoid of any kindness, remorse, or sympathy, and serve as the catalyst for all the events in the series. They are often feared by the general populace above all else just by the mere legends surrounding them and dwell in Zaurak Keep, later known as Cor Hydrae after being banished to another dimension, filled with their monstrous armies. They are willing to barter with mortals who pass their trials, usually in exchange for the soul of said mortals for some of their power. Little do the mortals who barter with them know that this is nothing more than a ploy by the Brethren to gain powerful hosts to control and perform their will as they work towards their own plans and goals. The hosts then become their slaves and are no longer in control of their actions, ultimately meaning that they never truly get what they bartered for with the Brethren to begin with and are left as demonic monsters themselves. They are reputed to being able to destroy anything, but are later revealed to have their own agenda to conquer the world and bring it into endless chaos and war simply for their own amusement. In the end, they are able to trick five siblings into selling their souls, resulting in the birth of Malpercio, a demonic god of death and destruction. Using this form, the Dark Brethren, along with Wiseman, brought death and destruction to the world until the children of the earth defeated them and sealed them away. The Brethren themselves, along with their fortress are banished to another dimension by the Children of the Earth after another gruesome battle with the aid of the human beings on the planet. This proved to only be a minor setback at best however, as the Brethren later manipulated the course of events over the next millennium to resurface and conquer all of existence, all the while feeding off the negative energies of the five siblings to grow stronger and further corrupt them into the demonic god, Malpercio. Through manipulation of a girl named Melodia and Emperor Geldoblame, the Dark Brethren were able to unseal the five end magnus that sealed their pawns away and resurfaced as Malpercio once again. A war soon engulfed the entire world and led to the death of millions, but thanks to the combined efforts of Kalas and his friends, Malpercio was defeated, the five siblings were released from the Brethren's control, and the Dark Brethren and their legions were destroyed and sent to a dimension of pain and suffering for all eternity.
