[QUOTE="Mercutio01, post: 5849547, member: 37277"] To be clear, in the movie, the Therns were a sort world-destroying, chaos-eating, alien race that seem like a weird cross between the Marvel Comics villain Galactus and the Goa'uld from Stargate. I don't think their motivation is hard to determine. As for why they use cats-paws...think of it in terms of immortals who can only die through violent means. Would they want their presence known, with the possible resistance that would engender, particularly if people knew that their goals in life were to upset any kind of balance in life so that they could feed off the ensuing chaos until such time that the world has self-destructed forcing them to move on? Or would they hide and cause entropy through manipulation? In the books they were corrupted religious heirophants that sowed tales of everlasting life through the River Iss when in fact they captured and killed the pilgrims or provided them as sacrifices to the Black Martians, the so-called First Ones.
