The Presence is the deity of the Dire Wraiths. She requires an abundance of psychic energy harvested from living souls.

Fiction

After arrving on Earth, the Dire Wraiths found its energy optimal for terraforming into a new homeworld. To that end, they planted a portal to the alternate dimension the Presence inhabited beneath the surface of the Earth and began feeding her bounties of energy to fuel her growth. At full power, it was believed the Presence would allow the Wraiths to conquer the universe. Long Roads to Ruin, Part 4 Microspace Knight Dire Wraith texts spoke of "the promised day" when the Presence would awaken. Reinforcements, Part 5 The "promised day" however was projected to be thousands of years in the future and the Wraiths sacrificing of various energy stores did little to accelerate her growth.

Under undivulged circumstances, Baron Karza became aware of the Presence's growth and became confident that he could awaken her. He bartered this knowledge to D'rge to propose a mutually-beneficial alliance, ROM: First Strike wherein where he would funnel the destructive Entropy Cloud out of Microspace and into the Presence's dimension where the Cloud's temporal properties would awaken the deity.
