History[]

Backstory[]

Setrakus Ra was once an elder of an alien race on a planet called Lorien. He and his friend Pittacus Lore become elders in part of council for their bravery in battle with another alien race from the planet, Mogadore, after diplomatic relations failed. However, he was then removed from the council for using morally corrupt methods to grant Cepan Legacies, by harvesting the planet's life energy and mutating it, injecting the foul substance into non-Garde. The idea began in his mind when he, as a young teenager, felt sorry for Cepan (including the girl he later would marry) who didn't have Legacies ('magic' powers granted by the planet). Later, his former best friend, the Elder Pittacus Lore would be sent to execute Ra with a deadly Voron Noose for treason, but out of his old love for Ra, simply injures him and exiles him, sparing his life.


Ra then became obsessed with finding another race that would accept his 'uplifting' principle. This race happened to be the Mogadorians, whom he lifted out of poverty and a population crisis...at a great cost. Ever since then, he became the leader of the Mogadorians, and his old morality slowly decayed until he looked physically like a Mogadorian than a Loric, and he became obsessed with conquering the galaxy. At some point, he mounted a full-scale invasion of Lorien, killing everyone on his former planet, with the exception of ten Loric Garde children and their guardians, known as Cepan, as well as the pilots of the ships that contained them. The surviving few Loric all fled to Earth.

Earth Events[]

Shortly after that, he knew about their whereabouts on Earth and struck a bargain with the government to help him hunt them down by offering their weapons to them in return, in order to gain their trust.

Setrakus arrived on the planet Earth after one of the ten Loric children, John, and his human friend, Sam, freed Nine from a Mogadorian base, hidden in West Virginia. He entered the base as a force field surrounds the building, leaving Sam trapped inside. He came to Earth for Five's ceremony to kill Nine, so he could join Setrakus at his army's side.

As Six was captured, she shared a jail cell with whom she thought was her human friend, Sarah, but turned out to Setrakus in disguise. Setrakus began to injure her in a fight that they had. He was about to finish her at first, but then Six stabbed him in the chest, making him transform into her. In order to stay in that form, Six also had to live. So, Setrakus magnetized her to the ceiling and encased her in complete blackness over her body.

During the final battle, John is able to strip Setrakus of his powers by using his healing ability to remove Setrakus's Augmentations. This reverts Setrakus into an elderly Lorien who is then easily decapitated by Six, finally killing him. With their leader's death and the destruction of their base by Sam, many of Setrakus' forces subsequently surrender. Months later, John witnesses a number of the imprisoned Mogadorians rejecting Setrakus's teaching and burning their holy book that was written by him, leaving John with hope for a peaceful coexistence in the future.

I Am Number Four film[]

Although unidentified in the movie, Setrakus Ra acts as the main antagonist, hunting the Garde with his forces. During the final battle at Paradise High School, Setrakus is killed by Four who uses his Lumen to overheat the energy cells for Setrakus's gun, causing a massive explosion that consumes Setrakus.
