I always assumed the "Father of Understanding" was just a flowery name for Cain or whomever actually founded the Order. Although it always struck me as odd that they would mention the Father of Understanding as "guiding" people, in a very superstitious almost religious way that doesn't really fit for a group that's knowledgable on the fact that there was no divine creation or the sort.
