Great Old Ones

The Great Old Ones are a class of ancient beings within the Eldritch. Most of the names popularly associated with the Eldritch, such as Cthulhu or Ithaqua, are Great Old Ones. The Great Old Ones are theorized by the Gnostics to be survivors of an ancient, cosmic cataclysm - probably the end of the previous universe before our Big Bang occurred. 
This, naturally, would make the Great Old Ones of greater age than our current universe. 
== Facts: ==
-The Great Old Ones make up the middle ground between the Lesser Eldritch such as Deep One and Elder Things, and the supreme powers among the Eldritch known as the Outer Gods. 
-While not Outer Gods themselves, Great Old Ones are still beings of ancient heritage and power. 
-Chief among the Great Old Ones, certainly here on Earth, is Cthulhu, who is said to be something of a 'priest' among his own kind.
