Ancient (DMU)

In the Dark Mirror Universe, "Ancient" was a spy for the Order of Mata Nui. He is one of the few beings who remembers the true outcome of the Brotherhood of Makuta's attempt to take over the 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 him considerably if he agreed to spy on him for them; Ancient accepted. 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 was present with the Recorder in a strange crystalline city. According to Ancient, the Order of Mata Nui made everyone forget what really happened as a result of the Brotherhood of Makuta's attempt to take over the universe. Because Ancient wanted the city's inhabitants to know how they ended up there, he ordered the Recorder to write a document containing everything that he is about to dictate.
