Ormus is a reference to the PS2 series Xenosaga.

NOTE: Ormus is a mysterious organization. The following is mostly logical conclusions from Xenosaga Episode II.

Ormus is an ancient religious cult that originated on Lost Jerusalem. Members of Ormus seem to follow a blend of Christianity and Zoroastrianism, yet they believe that the Zohar is an artifact of divine intervention. They were the first to leave Lost Jerusalem via the Immigrant Fleet, just a short time before the downfall of Lost Jerusalem.

In the setting of the Xenosaga series (set four thousand years in the future), Ormus continues to lust for the original Zohar on Miltia. An Ormus Front, the Immigration Fleet, sends it's leader, the Patriarch, to seize control over Old Miltia and the Original Zohar. However, after the Patriarch summons Proto Omega and the Omega System from the ruins of Old Miltia and prepares for galactic domination via the Zohar, the Testaments kill him. The current condition of Ormus' sub-organizations remains relatively unknown; however, U-TIC, Hyams, and perhaps the Yuriev Institute are still operational. It is possible that the acting leader of Ormus is either Heinlein (Hyams), Sellers, or Margulis (U-TIC). Dimitri Yuriev may also have strong connections to Ormus, despite his possible haterid of U-TIC.

Margulis and Heinlein are both powerful leaders in the Ormus Organization, especially after the defeat of the Patriarch. It is clear that Ormus and all of its fronts are involved in the web of deception surrounding the Original Zohar, as Jin Uzuki pointed out in Episode II. Many speculate that Wilhelm has subordinates planeted in the Ormus spider as it spins a web of manipuation and deception, perhaps via the Hyams front.
