What is an Ori?

I was at a revival meeting and an albino man (skin condition?) took the podium and kept saying "Hallowed are the Ori". Then a bunch of people in fatigues and weapons came from nowhere arrested him and took him away. It left everyone with a very ominous feeling. What gives?

What is an Ori?
I guess no one told him that the Ori are all dead! Don't mind him anyway (with his pasty engraved complection) - it's those pesky replicators that you need to keep clear of!

Orion, in Greek mythology, Boeotian hunter. When Oenopion delayed giving his daughter Merope to him, Orion, when drunk, violated her. Oenopion then blinded him, but his vision was restored by the rays of the sun. The story of Orion's death has many versions. Some state he offended Artemis, who killed him. Others say that he became her favorite hunting companion, but offended Apollo, who loosed a giant scorpion to chase Orion into the sea. Apollo then tricked Artemis into shooting Orion. When she discovered what she had done, she gave way to her grief and immortalized her companion and the scorpion by placing them in the heavens as constellations.

1398, from Gk. Oarion, of unknown origin, though some speculate on Akkadian Uru-anna "the Light of Heaven." Another Gk. name for it was Kandaon, a title of Ares, god of war, and it is represented in most cultures as a giant (e.g. O.Ir. Caomai "the Armed King," O.N. Orwandil, O.S. Ebuðrung).
