Mother and Father were assigned to the [[Shadow Spire]] to watch over [[Godparent (rank)|Godfather]] [[Auteur]], an insane, [[heresy|heretical]] member of the Faction whom the higher-ups had decided to imprison in the Spire. However, the Spire itself "leaked into their ears and rotted the wet and pink inside them", dissolving their bodies and histories until they were nearly non-physical and had all but lost their sense of self. The two became incarnations of the orthodox [[Faction Paradox]] ideal, unyieldingly loyal to [[the Grandfather]]'s dictates without any deeper thought.

During his imprisonment, Auteur still made contact with the [[loa]]s and used his powers to attempt to actualise a version of history where [[Dracula]] was [[the Enemy]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Bloody (And Public) Domaine (short story)|A Bloody (And Public) Domaine]]'') While still focused on Dracula, Auteur received a message from [[Archimedes Von Ahnerabe]], asking for everyone [[Graelyn Scythes]] had met and befriended across [[the Multiverse]] to send her video greetings to make up for her having to spend her [[birthday]] in [[quarantine]]. Auteur answered the call with a video in which he claimed that he had tried to arrange for Dracula to meet Graelyn as a birthday treat, but he had refused; he had subsequently been "informed by Father and Mother that [he] was simply talking in [his] sleep", a notion which he found outrageous.

Mother and Father once called upon a [[loa]] to show them [[Faction Paradox]] survivors following [[Lolita]]'s attack on the [[Eleven-Day Empire]]. They were shown [[Mathara]]'s invasion of the corrupted [[Romana III (The Shadows of Avalon)|War Queen]]'s [[Romana III's Gallifrey|sheath echo of the Homeworld]] and survivors huddling around campfires on long-dead [[Nine Gallifreys|Homeworlds]] including [[Ardethe]], [[New Alexandria]], and an [[Winkle's Wonderland|ancient Wonderland]]. When they asked to see survivors of other Homeworld deaths they were shown [[Four surviving elementals|some Homeworlder survivors]] falling from a [[War in Heaven|Warring Heaven]], an [[The Emperor|Emperor]] in an "exile's [[century]]" and his [[the Magistrate|Magistrate]] toying with [[man with the Rosette|his rosette]]. Finally they were shown one more Faction survivor, the [[Justine McManus|new Grandfather]]. | |||

Mother and Father then decided to open the Spire to all the living Faction members they had been shown. They then asked the loa to show the location of a [[weapon]], to which it gave a flash of a [[green]] [[snake]] writhing through [[history]] before vanishing. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Story So Far... (short story)|The Story So Far...]]'') This weapon was [[Apep]], an insane creation of the [[Great House]]s corrupted by the [[Osiran|Osirians]]. With Auteur's help, they united the survivors into a structured Faction cell, the [[Family of the Shadow Spire]]. They sent a battalion of [[skulltrooper]]s, including [[Cousin (rank)|Cousin]] [[Intrepid]], to the [[Fields of Cratosi]], to recover the [[Sarcophagus]] in which Apep was imprisoned, only for the Houses to get involved and all the soldiers to be frozen in Time. Deeming them "failures", Mother and Father had no interest in rescuing the frozen skulltroopers, and made new arrangements to acquire Apep.
