Patriarch[edit]

Patriarchs are some of the most ancient and most powerful beings of their race.

Patriarchs are wise, powerful members of their race who more than likely lead the others of their race, becoming alpha males, kings, queens, or messiahs. Despite their great age they are not fragile, on the contrary, they seem to become tougher and stronger the longer they live, and the longer they fight.
