Though
no one really knows where Chaos derives its name, there is some basis
for speculation that it refers to the cessation of the parading career
of the venerable Krewe of Momus, an organization that shares a great
deal with the Knights of Chaos. The knights, many of whom were
members of Comus as well as a number of other krewes, purchased Momus'
floats, presents a Momus-style satirical parade (complete with
flambeaux), and parade in Momus' old slot on the schedule.
The krewe is steeped in secrecy, never revealing the name of its king and keeping their parade theme secret until rolling time.
