			All of the current conspiracies have origins in a handful of major groups. Every one of these groups had fought the enemy in their own way, and each one of these new compacts similarly has access to specific abilities based off of their parent group. The groups are united, however, in their ability to gain access to equipment that would be illegal or restricted, as well as their infiltration of important organs of corporations. Finally, although each group is technically subordinate to a higher command, all have significant levels of autonomy owing to the need for secrecy and minimal communications.

A close-knit brotherhood is naturally one of the most effective tools against the horrors that lurk in the shadows, and the Jesuits became a major player in keeping Europe safe for centuries.
