The Hermetic Order of Nine Angles

The Order of Nine Angles, also known as the Order of Nine Angels, is a brotherhood of alchemists who have spent seven centuries looking for the recipe for the Philosopher's Stone. Dr. John Dee was a member at one point, but left when he actually discovered the secret they had searched so long for (and when he died it was still a secret). Its members, nine of which are people in important political positions in nine different European nations and who comprise its ruling body, are all some of the most highly educated and intelligent human beings on the planet.
The order operates much like a regular scientific community, sharing their findings and publishing papers which then are ordinarily bound up into grimoires and books of magick for others to use. Everything ever written by the order can be found in the ESPER Library.
While they are normally not on ESPER's hit list, the order would do anything to finally arrive at the solution to their "problem" of the Philosopher's Stone, and as such ESPER has had to step in on several occassions to keep them in line.
