Ancient (DMU)

In the Dark Mirror Universe, "Ancient" was a spy for the Order of Mata Nui. He is one of the few beings that remember the true outcome of the Brotherhood of Makuta's attempt to take over the Matoran Universe.

History
In the early days of the universe that would later become known as the Dark Mirror Universe, Ancient was created on the same island as the Shadowed One. When the two eventually met, they shared their goals and ambitions, and the idea of the Dark Hunters was born. They founded their new organization on the island of Odina and adopted codenames to separate themselves from their previous lives; Ancient's being "Ancient" to reflect his advanced age.

Shortly after the formation of the Dark Hunters, Ancient was contacted by the Order of Mata Nui, who were concerned about the goals of the Shadowed One. They offered to pay Ancient considerably if he agreed to spy on the Shadowed One for them, so he accepted their offer. For the next few thousand years, Ancient pulled the strings of both organizations in order to prevent war from breaking out between them.

When the Toa Empire rose to power, Ancient continued to be a member of both organizations, retaining his public position as a member of the Dark Hunters despite the danger they faced from the empire.

After the death of Tuyet, Ancient accompanied the Shadowed One to a meeting of the leaders of the universe's major factions. Afterwards, he witnessed the Shadowed One form an alliance with Karzahni.

Ten years later, Ancient inhabited a strange crystalline city along with many other former inhabitants of the Matoran Universe. Ancient stated that the Order of Mata Nui had erased almost everyone's memories of what happened as a result of the Brotherhood of Makuta's attempt to take over the MU, but he wanted the city's inhabitants to know the truth, so he ordered the Recorder to transcribe Ancient's recollection of the events that led them there.
