The Phoenix Stones
The Phoenix Stones are not stones but objects that the Elders discovered after the Secret War. The Phoenix Stones give Lorien the Legacies and the Chimaera. The Nine Garde that came to Earth each have a Phoenix Stone inside their chest. The Phoenix Stones jump-start Lorien's ecosystem when the Garde returns to Lorien. The Phoenix Stones' current form is unknown, but some ideas include:
Number One
Number One is a 14-year-old girl killed in Malaysia, according to the back cover of the novel, I Am Number Four. In the film of the same name, One is mentioned but not seen because she died when Number Four was nine. Her history is revealed in I am Number Four: The Lost Files: The Fallen Legacies. One was discovered by the Mogadorians when the police took her photograph after she attempted shoplifting to impress a boy.
One is described as rebellious, with tan skin and long blonde hair. She often skipped training lessons to spend time with a boy named Wade. She developed her first Legacy, but it was too late to save her life because her telekinesis was off and her earthquake powers did not last long. She was killed when a Mogadorian came from behind and stabbed her with a sword. The Mogadorians took her body to infiltrate her memories for any information on the other Garde members. Adamus Sutekh, the teenage son of a Mogadorian General, is selected for the infiltration experiment.
During Adamus's infiltration, One appears as a ghost and controls the memories Adamus sees. She convinces Adamus to switch sides and try to help Two and Three. One continues to appear to Adamus, but her ghostly image slowly fades away. When Adamus attempts to save One, she says she cannot be saved. Her goal was for Adamus to see the evil side of his family and join the Garde. When Adamus professes his love for her, One shares a kiss with him before fading away forever. In The Forgotten Ones, her memory lives on through Adamus.
One's Legacies include:
- Terric – With this Legacy, a Garde can emit seismic vibrations and create highly controlled earthquakes.
- Telekinesis – Like all Garde, One can move objects with her mind.
- Enhancement – All Garde possess enhanced physical strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and durability.
Number Two
Number Two, or Maggie Hoyle, is a twelve-year-old Loric girl with glasses, freckles, and reddish brown hair. She creates an Internet message in an attempt to find the other Garde after her Cêpan is killed by Mogadorians. Because of this message, the Mogadorians find and murder Two in London, England.
In The Power of Six, the characters Four, Six, and Samuel discuss Two's post. The post reads, "Nine, now eight, is the rest of you out there?". Six and her Cêpan Katarina responded to Two, saying, "We are here." Seconds later, Two dies; Six and her Cêpan flee for fear of being caught. Four also reveals that his Cêpan Henri saw the post and tried to hack into the computer to delete the message and save Two, but he was too late. The post is deleted after Two is killed; they assume the Mogadorians deleted it.
In the Fallen Legacies, it is revealed that Adamus Sutekh, a young Mogadorian boy who tried to help the Loric, deleted the Two's post to save the other Loric who might respond. When Two learns that Adamus is a Mogadorian, she does not attack him because she believes he is there to help her. Adamus' brother, Ivanick finds Two and Adamus, killing Two by stabbing her in the throat with a dagger.
Two was too young to have developed any Legacies except for her enhancements. Her Legacies include:
- Enhancement – All Garde possess enhanced physical strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and durability.
Number Three
Number Three, or Hannu, is a fourteen-year-old Loric boy and the youngest Loric sent to Earth. He appears at the beginning of the first book when he is hunted by the Mogadorians in Kenya. In The Fallen Legacies, it is revealed that Three was found when someone noticed the scars on his ankle. In I Am Number Four, Four says that Three was off the grid when the Mogadorian found him. Three and his Cêpan are killed when the Mogadorians ambush their shack in the middle of the night. His Cêpan is killed when he investigates a strange noise. Three escapes from the shack and runs at an incredible speed. He leaps over a cliff and onto the other side, but the Mogadorian General is waiting there. The General chokes and then stabs Three in the chest. Three is defiant until the end, telling the General he will never win. In The Fallen Legacies, it is revealed that Ivanick is the one who saw Three's scars, leading the General to him.
Three's Legacies include:
- Enhancement – All Garde possess enhanced physical strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and durability. Three may also have had enhanced agility.
- Telekinesis – He may have inherited Telekinesis like all the other Garde or he might still be too young.
Number Four
Number Four, or John Smith, is a sixteen-year-old boy described as fit and attractive with dark blond hair. He has four circular scars on his right ankle, symbolizing the three dead Lorien children and the pendant all the Lorien children wear, signifying the charm that protects them. He is the strongest of the Lorien sent to Earth and has a chimæra named Bernie Kosar. In I am Number Four, Four falls in love with high school junior Sarah Hart. He also has a friend named Samuel Goode who travels with him to search for his father whom he believes to be a prisoner of the Mogadorians. His Cêpan is Henri, who dies at the end of the first book.
In The Power of Six, Four develops feelings for number Six, although these subside in the third book when his feelings for Sarah take over. At the end of the book, Four and Nine go north in an attempt to find Six. It is revealed in The Rise of Nine that he may be the Garde who inherits Pittacus Lore's powers. In The Fall of Five , Four locates Five. After Five takes all the other Garde to Florida, Four dreams of a future where the Mogadorians rule Earth with Ten (as Setrákus Ra's successor) and Five. As Four awakes, the Mogadorians attack and capture Ten. After the fight, Four meets the Adamus, the rouge Mongadorian haunted by One and the son of the General.
In The Revenge of Seven , Four leads Adamus, Samuel, Malcolm, and the Chimera to attack Ashwood Estates, the Mongardorian base on Earth. Four fights the General and is saved from death when Adamus kills his father. Four, Samuel, and Nine go to New York City to intercept a rogue senator. Four uses his healing power to save the senator and to get him to expose the Mogadorian leader, Setrákus Ra. Four and Nine arrive at Setrákus Ra's presentation and reveal that he is a Lorien. However, Four prevents federal agents from hurting Setrákus Ra after learning that doing so will harm Ten. Four does not rescue Ten but is spared by Setrákus Ra in return. Later, Four and Samuel try to make their way out of New York City. Piken almost kills Four, but Samuel saves him with his newly developed telekinesis Legacy.
Four's Legacies include:
- Anima – The ability to communicate with animals. Although technically his first legacy, he discovered this Legacy later, near the end of book one.
- Lumen – The ability to produce fire, heat, and light from the user's hands. Also, resistance to heat, fire, and burning. This is his second Legacy. Four's grandfather had this power. In later books, he can create fireballs.
- Telekinesis – The ability to move objects with one's mind. All Garde have this Legacy, but it takes Four longer than average for his to develop.
- Ximic – Four's third Legacy. This is the rarest and most powerful Legacy, only associated with the Loric Elder, Pittacus Lore. It allows him to copy every Legacy he has felt and seen.
- Enhancement – All Garde possess enhanced physical strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and durability.
Four's Phoenix Stone is:
- Brittle Leaves Tied with Twine – In The Fall of Five , this Phoenix Stone is found in Four's chest. When Four touches it, a breeze from Lorien fills the room. He says, "This is a reminder of what we fight for."
Number Five
In Rise of Nine, Five is seen by Six in a fantasy that she creates while in an abandoned grocery store in New Mexico. In The Fall of Five, Five is found after burning his symbol into a cornfield. After reuniting with the Garde, he tells them he buried his Chest on an island in the Florida Everglades. Five travels with Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine to Florida to retrieve his chest. Once there, Five reveals himself as a traitor, working with the Mogadorians since his Cêpan died of a disease. Five attempts to kill Nine but kills Eight by stabbing him through the heart. Seven then attacks Five and takes out his eye.
In Five's Legacy, he is thirteen years old with a skinny build and long hair. He lives on an island with Albert (Rey) and develops the power of Telekinesis. When Rey dies, Five sets sail for Martinique, but he ends up flying to South Beach, Florida. He meets a girl named Emma and they work together as pickpockets. Eventually, they meet a Mogadorian ally named Ethan. Ethan befriends Five who is using the alias Cody. When a job in a warehouse fails, Five uses his Telekinesis to attack Emma's brother and a few other men. Emma knocks Five out with a pipe and he is then cared for by Ethan. Five and Ethan spend the next year living in a luxurious mansion. One day, Five discovers that Ethan is working with the Mogadorians. Ethan reveals that Nine is in custody. Five goes to an FBI building with Ethan the next day. He meets a Mogadorian who gives him a folder with the picture of the person he must kill to join the Mogadorians.
In Five's Betrayal, the Mogadorians promise Five greatness as the ruler of North America and the "Right Hand of the Beloved Leader". The Mogadorians tell him to kill Emma as a test; although he fails to kill Emma, he passes the test because he decides to use her brother instead. When Ethan is believed to have helped in Nine's escape, Setrákus Ra orders Five to kill Ethan to prove himself. After killing Ethan, Five makes preparations to infiltrate the Garde. He finds a letter from Ethan stating that he's probably already dead because he is no longer helpful, but that Five should continue to live, putting himself first before anybody else. At the end of the book, Five plans to get the other Garde to join the Mogadorians, except for Nine whom he holds a personal vendetta against since his escape caused Ethan's death. Five is regarded as the Mogadorians' "most valuable asset", their secret weapon, and the Right Hand of Setrákus Ra.
In The Revenge of Seven , Five is upset over Eight's death. Although Six, Seven, and Nine are invisible, Five somehow knows they are there and apologizes. He lets them take Eight's body. Five arrives on the spaceship the Anubis with Setrakus Ra and Ten, who is now engaged to him. Five is used to test Ten's Dreynen Legacy power. Before arriving in New York City, Five tries to escape with Ten. However, Ra intercepts him, dubbing him his greatest and last mistake. During the ensuing fight, Five uses his Externa without his two balls, revealing that his previously empty eye socket is now being used as a storage space. When Ten's Telekinesis almost throws Ra off the spaceship, Five stabs him in the shoulder. However, Ra transfers his injuries to Emma. Ra grabs, beats, and hurls Five off the Flagship. Five recovers and fights Nine at the end of Revenge of Seven.
In United as One , Five teaches Four how to use his Ximic to copy Five's flying. He also slowly tortures Phili-Dun-Ra, rather than killing her. Four and Seven figure out Five escaped because of a YouTube video. He is last seen on an abandoned island.

In The Power of Six, Seven becomes best friends with seven-year-old Ten at the monastery. The Mogadorians located her long ago, but due to the number order, she could not be attacked until the charm was broken or One through Six were killed.
Seven suspects Four is a Garde when she reads about the Paradise High School explosion. When she is attacked by Mogadorians, Ten and Crayton reveal themselves as Loric. Seven, Six, Ten, and Crayton try to find the other Garde members and their Chimaeras before traveling to the United States to find Four and Nine.

He has developed powers, such as heightened intuition and Telekinesis, but had to learn how to control them by himself because his Cêpan died. Eight is one of the most powerful Loric. He has deep emerald green eyes with long, black, curly hair. Locals think he is the Hindu god Vishnu reincarnated, apparently because he can change his appearance into that of beasts and other beings. The character Crayton speculates that Eight could be the one who inherits Pittacus Lore's powers and can kill Setrakus Ra.
In The Fall of Five , Eight goes with Five, Six, Seven, and Nine to retrieve Five's chest. After Five is revealed to be a traitor, a fight ensues. Eight teleports to protect Nine from Five's attack but is stabbed in the heart and dies, fulfilling a prophecy. When she cannot heal Eight, Seven encases his body in a solid block of ice.

Nine is described as very attractive, taller than Four, and muscular, with curly, dark hair. He uses a pipe staff and is also very knowledgeable about the inheritance his chest contains. Displaying hints of an aggressive nature and a thirst for revenge, Nine operates with a ferocity that Four did not know the Loric possessed.
In The Lost Files: Nine's Legacy, it is revealed that when Nine and his Cêpan, Sandor, first arrived on Earth, they moved frequently and stayed in small motels but were always found by the Mogadorians. Sandor decides to use the jewels they brought from Lorien to live in luxury and hide in plain sight. Nine and Sandor live in Chicago in a penthouse suite at the top of the John Hancock Center. Nine trains almost non-stop as he does not go to school. He falls in love with a girl named Maddy. Maddy reciprocates his love but is working for the Mogadorians. Using Maddy, the Mogadorians capture Nine and torture Sandor to get him to talk. Nine eventually breaks through the force field barrier and steals a Mogadorian dagger. With Sandor's urging, Nine kills his Cêpan.
In The Power of Six, Nine escapes when Four and Samuel break into the base and free him. In The Rise of Nine, Nine and Four work together, taking shelter at Nine's safehouse in Chicago.

In The Fall of Five , Ten has nightmares about Setrákus Ra who tells her to hold his hand, showing her the death of the Garde and humans at her hands. When she reads a letter written by Crayton before he died, she learns that her father, Raylan, was a very rich man who began to resent the Elders because he felt it was his birthright to be one. He became a recluse and had many Chimaera for company. He donated a fuel ship to the museum, but when the invasion came, he took Ten, Chimaera, and Clayton to the fuel ship. In a dream, Ten learns that she is Setrákus Ra's heir. She is kidnapped by the Mogadorians that do not kill her because they want her to rule with Ra.

The Cêpan
The Cêpan are former inhabitants of Lorien with no Legacies, resembling normal humans. Each Garde has a Cêpan who hides, protects, and trains their child. They also pass on the knowledge of Lorien and the Legacies.
Adelina
Adelina is the brown-haired Cêpan of Number Seven. Her original Lorien name is Adel. After wandering through Europe, Adelina and Seven enter the Santa Teresa convent in Spain. Adelina loses faith in their ability to restore Lorien and grows accustomed to the religious life at the convent. She believes that one can save others through religion. As a result, she often tells Seven to "stop believing in fairy tales" and does not train Seven. After a Mogadorian attack, Adelina feels remorse for denying Seven's heritage and sacrifices herself to help Seven escape. In The Power of Six , she is killed by a Mogadorian who stabs her in the heart.
Adelina makes a very brief appearance in the prequel, The Last Days Of Lorien. Sandor sees her on the space shuttle as they head for Earth. Her nickname is revealed to be Adel.
Albert

Conrad kills a Mogadorian scouting troop that burns down their house in the Scottish Highlands. Conrad heads for London, England, and meets Two at a safe house. However, the Mogadorians find his bus and start to attack. Despite Conrad having two submachine guns with him, he is eventually killed.
Crayton
Crayton becomes Ten's surrogate Cêpan because she was too young to have an official Cêpan when Lorien was destroyed. The two seem to be close; Ten calls Crayton her Papa. Crayton is very skilled, dedicated, and thorough. When Seven first meets Crayton, she mistakes him for a Mogadorian because he watches her. Seven also misreads Crayton's clue for her–a book with Pittacus in the title. He tries to approach Adelina, but she throws him out once she knows who he is. However, Crayton helps fight the Mogadorians with a briefcase of weapons when Seven leaves Santa Teresa with Hector, Ten, and Six.
In The Rise of Nine , Clayton leads Ten, Six, and Seven to seek the remaining Garde and Chimæras, taking them to India before returning to the United States. Crayton dies from a blast while trying to recover Eight's and Seven's chests. He was the last Cêpan to die. In The Fall of Five , he is referred to as the butler to Ten's family. In the short story, "The Navigator", he refers to himself as a Chimæra keeper.

In the prequel, The Last Days of Lorien, Henri recruits Sandor to attend the Lorien Defense Academy. At the end of the book, he helps the Cêpans and the Garde escape Lorien as it is being invaded by the Mogadorians. He chooses Sandor to be Nine's Cêpan. He also trains Nine and Four while Sandor goes through training to be a Cêpan.
Hilde
Hildeis the Cêpan of Number One. Her original Lorien's name is Hessu. One describes Hilde as a mother to her. She is in her fifties and always is strict. After One is arrested for shoplifting, Hilde decides to leave the United States, taking her charge to Malaysia. She is a good martial artist but is quickly overwhelmed by the Mogadorian that shoots her in the chest. Her death allows One to awaken her earthquake abilities. Hilde's last words to One are to run and survive. The Mogadorians leave her body to rot in Malaysia.
Hilde makes a small appearance in The Last Days Of Lorien. She grieves over Lorien's destruction and questions whether they will survive on Earth. She is comforted by Sandor after saying that they are all going to die and that it is useless to hide.
Katarina
Katarina is Number Six's Cêpan. She is more cool-headed than Six and tries to temper her volatile Garde. According to Six, Katarina was very thorough with forgeries and training. She also had multiple lovers back on Lorien. When Six was thirteen, the Mogadorians caught them, torturing and killing Katarina in an attempt to force Six to provide information.

After Nine and Sando are caught and imprisoned, Nine mercy-kills Sandor to save him from torture.
Sandor is the main character of the prequel The Last Days Of Lorien which explores his youth on the planet Lorien. Sandor is forced to attend the Lorien Defense Academy for some wrongdoings with his engineering skills. He meets several key players in the future books, including Brandon/Henri, Hessu, Adelina, John/Four, and Stanley/Nine. Sandor also meets a Garde named Devektra, who is famous for her music and dancing. It is implied that he has feelings for her. The story ends with Sandor saving Nine during the invasion of Lorien and becoming his Cêpan.
Three's Cêpan
The Cêpan of Number Three was killed in Kenya by a sword that was pushed through their door. He was said to be in his fifties. He might be Kentra, mentioned in The Last Days of Lorien.
The Mogadorians
The Mogadorians or Mogs are the main antagonists of the series. Mogadorians are aliens from the planet of Mogadore. They set out to conquer Lorien because their planet is dying from a lack of resources. The Mogs follow the teachings of Setrakus Ra through his Great Book, which commands violence and respect for the strong. They often say "By Ra" concerning their leader. The planet Mogadore is twice the size of Lorien and around a fifth of Earth's size. They hunt the Garde out of fear. They plan on conquering the Earth after destroying the Garde. In the meantime, the Mogs gain power in the United States government.
The Mogadorian soldiers and scouts have pale white skin, black eyes, and serrated teeth. They are vat-born clones made by Setrakus Ra and his scientists. They are stronger and faster but not smarter than Trueborn Mogs. Trueborn Mogadorians are identical in appearance to humans. They are gregarious and like cities and crowded places. The Mogadorians have difficulties conceiving children; if a child is born, the mothers often die in childbirth.
Setrákus Ra
Setrákus Ra is a Lorien who becomes the leader of The Mogadorians. He arrives on Earth at the end of The Power of Six . Ra is 7 feet tall but becomes 20 feet tall when using his growth Legacy. He is tanned with short hair and a chiseled jaw. There is a "purplish scar" around his throat, given to him by Pittacus Lore. Because Setrákus Ra had been his best friend, Pittacus banished him from Lorien instead of going through with the scheduled execution.
Ra is the author of the Great Book, which the Mogs follow faithfully. It is about war and how to conquer and consume everything in their path. During Six's fight with him, she noticed Ra had unique scars around his ankles, possibly hinting that Ra may be one of the original Ten Elders. In that fight, Ra uses his shapeshifting Legacy to mirror her features, which fools the Garde when they come to her rescue. In The Fall of Five, Ra reveals that Ten is his heir and comes from a prominent family connected to the Elders. This most likely means that Setrakus Ra is the tenth Elder who "died" in the Secret Wars.
In The Revenge of Seven , Ra tells Ten that she is his granddaughter while aboard the Anubis, the Mog Flagship orbiting Earth. Later, Ra confesses he is the tenth Elder believed to have died in the Secret Wars, saying that the other Elders did not agree with his plans for the future of Lorien, and he was banished. He then changed his Loric genetic code to look like a Mogadorian, eventually gaining their trust and position of power. Ten describes Ra's face as an old Loric architectural ruin being rebuilt by a gross Mog. Ra places a mysterious charm on Ten and plans on her marrying Five. However, his plans change when Five tries to sneak Ten off the Flagship.
Ra's Legacy Dreynen power does not work on Ten. However, the charm he places on Ten causes any injury inflicted on him to be transferred to her. The exception is if she is the one to hurt him. After throwing Five off the Flagship and healing Ten, Ra begins his presentation on Earth's Surrender. However, Four and Nine exposed him for what he is, a monster. When Ten helps the Garde, Ra grabs her and intends to execute her for treason. Four prevents anyone from harming Ra after learning about the charm on Ten. Ra then spares Four in return.
In The Fate of Ten , Ra makes a broadcast, stating that the Garde are alien terrorists. He gives Earth 48 hours to surrender. After learning the Sanctuary is no longer protected, Ra takes the Flagship Anubis toward it and fires a powerful cannon that destroys the temple. During this time, he has a black ooze pumped into Ten's body to control her. Six impales Ra with a pipe he was using to harvest the Loric energy underneath Sanctuary, severely wounding Ra and forcing him to flee. In United As One, Ra is seen in a vision, healing himself in a pool of the black ooze he used to control Ten. While Ra heals, the Mog commanders fight over the lack of orders and their desire to become the next leader. The Garde take advantage of the discord in the Mog Fleet and capture a warship.
Once healed, Ra regains command of the Mog fleet and orders it to bomb Earth's major cities. It is revealed that during his healing process, he corrupted Loric energy, seen as the black ooze, from Sanctuary and gained the ability to bestow Legacies on other Trueborn Mogs. During the attack on his main base in West Virginia, he faces Four, Five, Seven, and Nine but defeats them due to his bonding with the corrupted Loric energy. Four attempts to stab Ra with a dagger made of Voron. However, the black ooze continually healed any wounds inflicted. When Nine strikes him in the chest with the Voron dagger, the black ooze absorbs it. While Seven attempts to heal Nine's injury, Ra grabs her hand, causing him to retreat in pain. Realizing that the only way to injure him was to use the Legacy of Recupero, Four takes him on in a one-on-one showdown and uses his Recupero to heal Ra of the black ooze and his augmented abilities, restoring Ra to his original elderly Loric body. Six makes her way down to the pool of black ooze and finds Four and Ra both barely alive and Ra attempting to get back into the pool. Six grabs the Voron dagger and tells him, "This is what progress looks like." as she decapitates Ra. Following their leader's death, many of the Trueborn Mogs surrender and, a year later, a number of them reject Ra's teachings completely and burn his holy book.
Ra's Legacies include:
- Aeternus – Ra can extend his lifespan by returning to the ages he has already lived. This is revealed in The Revenge of Seven .
- Enhancement – All Garde possess enhanced physical strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and durability.
- Telekinesis – All Garde can move objects with the mind.
- Dreynen – Ra can cancel the Garde's Legacies.
- Charm Casting – This is a learned ability rather than an actual Legacy.
Personal Weapons:
- Golden Staff (Eye of Thaloc) – Ra carries a golden staff with a hammerhead and a black eye. When the eye glows red, it can rip a person to shreds. When it glows purple, the staff helps Ra with his shapeshifting powers. If the staff touches another person, it causes a numbing sensation throughout the body, as if drained of blood. In The Revenge of Seven, the staff is broken by Nine.
- Fire Whip – With each of Ra's swings, the Fire Whip unleashes a wave of fire. When it hits someone, the injury turns black and slowly spreads throughout the person's body, encasing them in black rock. In The Revenge of Seven, the whip can separate into three whip ends.

Seeing this as a perfect opportunity, Adamus creates a ruse that makes his father give him to Zarkos as a lab rat.
Adamus wounds the doctor and awakens Malcolm Good who oversees the experiment. During his dream-like state, Adamus lets out a massive shockwave that causes an implosion inside the underground complex. One transfers her powers to him and reveals that there is no way to save her.

Adamus also meets a Chimaera whom he names Dust. The two form a quick bond with each other. After a few days, he feels a bond with Rexicus, who knows who Adamus is and wants to kill him.
Through Rexicus, Adamus learns that the Mogs were experimenting on Samuel, trying to obtain the Chimaera shapeshifting gene to add to their Vat-Born soldiers. When Rexicus reveals that the Chimaeras are at the research facility in Palm Island, New York, Adamus forces Rexicus to lead him there. As they journey across the country, Rexicus and Adamus grow closer together. Near Palm Island, Adamus is attacked by Mogs and believes that Rexicus has betrayed him. With the help of his powers and Dust, he manages to defeat them but is knocked out by one last surviving Mog and is saved by Dust. Waking up in a stolen car, Adamus learns that Rexicus saved him and never betrayed him, although he did hide from the fight. When Adamus asks why he is helping him, Rexicus replies that he does not know, other than his promise to Adamus as and he still believes in the Mog's cause.
Adamus enters Palm Island, disguised as a prisoner. Rexicus breaks him out and takes him to the Chimaeras. Adamus escapes with the Chimaeras and Dust, while Rexicus stays behind to rejoin his fellow Mogadorians. Adamus, Dust, and the Chimeras drive to Chicago. When Adamus arrives in Chicago, the fight is over and the Mogs are all gone. Four mistakes him for a soldier and is about to kill him when Adamus introduces himself. Four is suspicious but tells Adamus that he will help win the war.
In The Revenge of Seven , Adamus leads Four, Samuel, and Malcolm to Ashwood Estates to take out the Trueborn Mogs. However, the Trueborn are all gone, except for a salvage team and the General. After a fight, Adamus saves Four from the General by stabbing his father in the back with his father's sword. He meets the other Garde and slowly grows on them. He later joins Six and Seven on the journey to the Mayan Temple, Calakmul. After taking out the Mog forces, he can pass through the Lorien force field and follow the Garde into the Temple.
