| |
| − | '''The Father''' is the leader of the [[Moon Children]] and, presumably, the creator of [[BEN]]. He was referenced several times throughout the [[Haunted Cartridge Arc]] via the Happy Mask Salesman, but was properly introduced as a character in the [[Moon Children Arc]]. In the [[Awakening Arc]], he is revealed to be the prophetic Moon Child known as '''Kelbris'''.

| − | == History ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Prior to 2009 ===
| |
| − | Prior to 1998, the one now known as The Father was the prophetic Moon Child called [[Kelbris]]. Kelbris was the first to receive "whispers" from the cult's deity Luna, and related prophecies of Luna's apocalyptic consumption of the world. Kelbris was later found dead, apparently electrocuted, leaving the cult to wonder if he had truly ascended.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because the cult's history prior to Kelbris is unknown, whether or not the concept of the 'Father' in the cult's pantheon already existed by the time he began prophesying is uncertain, however what ''is'' certain is that Kelbris, by some means, remained after death and became the Father known to the cult today. By 2010, the Father had apparently become an important figure in the Moon Children, as evidenced by their creed's reference to him. He may have taken part in several ascension ceremonies, including [[Ben]]'s. At some point following his presumed physical death in 1998, he was apparently imprisoned in the Majora's Mask cartridge with [[Ben]], as either as a fellow prisoner or a warden.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Prologue ===
| |
| − | The Father is briefly mentioned several times during [[Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines - Rosa]]. Rosa's dialogue includes, "Why is he smiling? The father? Is it- Is it the father behind him?" The beginning of this phrase is recalled later. The second is, "He's furious... the man with the crest... the voice in the darkness, boss." The third is, "Some [enemies] with swords, some with smiles."
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Haunted Cartridge Arc ===
| |
| − | The Father made no physical appearances, but was referenced several times in Jadusable's videos, in which he is represented by the Happy Mask Salesman. In [[Day four.wmv|day four.wmv]], he is briefly shown during the Swordman's School sequence. At 4:23, the Happy Mask Salesman dialogue, "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" appeared.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Happy Mask Salesman is more prominently featured in [[BEN.wmv]]. After entering the Clock Tower, the beginning of his introductory cut scene is played before Jadusable is taken to Termina Field, where a reversed and sped-up Happy Mask Salesman Theme plays. In the field, the Happy Mask Salesman is among the character models present, though his idle animation does not play; however, his head follows Link as he moves. Immediately after Jadusable played the Song of Healing, he was killed. Afterward, his laugh played, accompanied by "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[DROWNED.wmv]] contains a sequence in which Jadusable is transported from area to area in ''Ocarina of Time'''s map. He ends up in the Happy Mask Shop, which, oddly, did not contain the Happy Mask Salesman. When Link focuses on the Elegy statue in the Moon, the Happy Mask Salesman, with an angry expression and outstretched hand, is shown briefly with the sound of Kotake's scream. His laugh plays afterward, when the phrase "Come play with us" appears.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[jadusable.wmv]], a picture of the Happy Mask Salesman standing next to the Elegy of Emptiness statue is found in the Pictograph Box, which Jadusable promptly disposes of. After he is killed during the fight with Gomess, the following phrase appears: "Why is he smiling? The father?" This references the words of Rosa from Jadusable's first video. Later, he falls into a grave, which is followed by the Happy Mask Salesman's laugh and the phrase, "It'll be our little secret, okay?" Finally, after Jadusable makes his way into the Clock Tower, the screen cuts to black with the text, "You can't run." This is followed by an extended shot of Link, the Elegy statue, and the Happy Mask Salesman standing together, cutting out shortly before the next Elegy statue spawns on top of Link.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Father is briefly mentioned in [[TheTruth.rtf]] in the form of the Happy Mask Salesman, who appears in a nightmare that Jadusable has. As the in-game Moon Children sewed his hands to his sides and rendered him unable to scream, the Happy Mask Salesman leaned down toward him and said, "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Moon Children Arc ===
| |
| − | The Father is referenced in the Moon Children Creed by the line, "O father, I pledge to youa [sic]." Later, File 6 of the [[Downloadable Files|downloadable files]] was revealed to be an image of the Happy Mask Salesman, titled, "the father.jpg."
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Awakening Arc ===
| |
| − | The Father is shown in-game in [[End.wmv|end.wmv]] for the first time since the Haunted Cartridge Arc, in which the Happy Mask Salesman cutscene plays out mostly-normally. In [[Gateway.wmv|gateway.wmv]], [[Sonata.wmv|sonata.wmv]], and [[CHILDREN.wmv]], he appears in the same role as the Happy Mask Salesman in Termina Field. However, by the end of CHILDREN.wmv, he now appears to be represented by a model not found via normal Majora's Mask gameplay encountered in South Clock Town.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His appearance [[THE FATHER.wmv]], the final video recorded by Jadusable, reveals that he was within the cartridge alongside BEN. The title of the video was originally KELBRIS.wmv, which changed several times before settling on its final name; this along with images on [[Methodsofrevolution.com|methodsofrevolution.com]] confirm that Kelbris is indeed The Father. In the video, Jadusable pushes farther into the game against BEN's warnings. BEN begins to beg Jadusable to stop exploring and tells him, "You're going to wake him up," followed by, "YOU ARE DIGGING TOO DEEP. TURN BACK NOW." Jadusable ignores BEN's pleas and even deletes save files named STOP and PLEASE. After the final reset, The Father is awakened. Now in control, he tells Jadsuable, "I FOUND YOU." As Jadusable walks through the void, The Father appears and devours Link, presumably symbolizing Jadusable's imminent death.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite BEN's escape to the internet, it appears the Father remained in the cartridge. Almost a full decade later, in [[Methods of Revolution (Ben.wmv)]], he is seen looming over the game area, watching the player.
