Maitreya

Maitreya is an astral being that travels metaphysically through the cosmos. He has appeared to Penjahat claiming to be the second coming of Buddha, thus adopting the name Maitreya in accordance with Buddhist prophecies.

Reincarnation
In order to reincarnate, Maitreya must possess the body of a living creature. As an attempt to create a suitable avatar for bringing the end of days, Maitreya has employed Penjahat. Their approaches started with experimentation, and when Human technology proved too primitive, they turned to collecting the powerful relics of the long dead Tarens.

The Second Sunrise
The Second Sunrise is a religious movement started in Changi Prison by Sergeant Major Nepal. It's currently running strong at around 50 members inside of the prison. Their tennents consist of support of Maitreya bringing the end of days.
