Their powers attracted the attention of the space pirate Roxxas whose crew wanted to use such people to transmute common elements into rare metals and jewels. It was said that the people of his world resisted and in response the pirate crew committed genocide of the population with only Jan Arrah being the only survivor who went on the run.
