The Ha'la'tha is a Tauron-based criminal organization also operating on Caprica. The organization's name is Tauron for "always faithful to the soil" (CAP: "False Labor"). Its leader is called the Guatrau.
Members sport tattoos on their faces and across the length of their bodies, but one tattoo that all members must have is one that visually represents the oath a member swore upon entering the organization. [1] Tattooing is a custom followed across Tauron society, but many on Caprica associate it with the Ha'la'tha (CAP: "Gravedancing").
In addition to those who are members of the organization, the Ha'la'tha also maintains a network of strong external connections. Tomas Vergis, CEO of the Vergis Corporation, is a close friend of the Guatrau. By assisting Daniel Graystone in reacquiring the leadership of Graystone Industries, the Ha'la'tha becomes a quiet partner in the company's business activities CAP: "Unvanquished," "Things We Lock Away"). The syndicate paid for the legal education of Joseph Adama, brother of full member and enforcer Sam Adama, and employs him as a mob lawyer (CAP: Caprica pilot).
93 years BCH, the Tauron Civil War resulted from the conflict between the Ha'la'tha and the Tauron democratic government (The Caprican). [2]
