The High Council of Sentients is comprised of five Gray Elders: Ikolf, Htron, Tsae, Htuos, and Tsew. They are enlightened vessels of truth and light that possess the total sum of all knowledge and wisdom ever gathered since their sentient life began eons ago. Their expressed purpose is to seek out, establish and ensure "a higher order" for all life forms within the Universe. Despite their wisdom, knowledge and the genius of their technology, the Grays know that they need all the help they can get to meet their prime directive for promoting life, safeguarding peace and ensuring prosperity.
