Illuminati

"You cannot fit truth in a box," the curator said, "truth is like an ocean. You cannot put it in one place, you cannot even see all of it at once. You may only carry a little of it with you, at any given time..." 
The curator pulled a book from the shelf. It bore an Eye of Providence on its spine.
"But perhaps, as some have tried, it is possible to hide a particular truth in a particular box. I hope such will become unnecessary in all but the most dire circumstances."In GURPS the word Illuminati is sometimes used to describe the people behind The Conspiracy. Either way, it does not specifically refer to the Bavarian Illuminati, rather it's a placeholder used to identify the "man behind the curtain". In a one shot adventure, identifying the real person(s) behind the Conspiracy might fall outside the adventure's purview.
== The Conspiracy ==
The Conspiracy generally has two main parts:
# Hiding the existence of the supernatural
# Building/maintaining a vast amount of power (often for the purpose of maintaining point 1) 
If you're a Vampire: The Masquerade fan (or an SCP fan) you may already recognize this concept as "the Masquerade".
