Under the rule of Malzor, they are instructed by the Eternal Spirit of Morthrai to kill off the ""soldiers"" who came before and failed to appropriate the planet. Continuing in their mission, they try to snare a member of the Blackwood Team for cloning purposes which will obtain all memories of the original, but totally loyal to the Morthren cause.
