The Three Warlords is an informal name given by Kiran Joshmaul to three of the most hated criminals in Federation and Reydovan history. In a "vision" he received in 2371, Joshmaul foresaw the rise of three great enemies within the next five years, all connected by either blood, association, or both. By 2376 Joshmaul, aided by Federation and Imperial authorities, has been able to determine the names of the three warlords. Their names were not identified in his original "vision", merely what people called them: The Defiler, the Deceiver, and the Betrayer.
