Their existence serves as an embodiment and the divine source for all Conduit's powers, if one dies then their specific kind of conduit will never reappear throughout the Galaxy (i.e. if the Ice Ancient dies, all Ice conduits will lose their powers).Their existence is the linchpin for all conduits, without the Ancients, conduits would be extinct and rendered normal beings.

History
were some of the first 24 Primes in existence, as well as some of the first Conduits. After uniting all others of their kind, they left Earth for another planet where they could escape retribution and the hatred and disgust from the Humans of Earth, and settled on the planet Iroes Gi, created by the World-Maker, Mortis. The 24 Primes desired a sense of purpose and belonging, and therefore created a monastic order called the Children of Statera which sought to maintain balance within the Equilibrium and peace throughout their new homes.

However, two of the 24 defected and betrayed the Order and formed the Order of the Tenebrae, taking a third of the Staterans with them. The remaining Staterans reformed the order into the Deian Order, and 20 of the Primes became the Ancients, with Elisha Elezaar founding the Alpha Guard, and Lael Zopyros staying with the Olympians to be their Grand Master.
