The Watchers Society

The Watchers Society is an organization of vigilantes and self-styled superheroes that are mainly based in Chicago and Saint Louis, although they can be found anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection.
The Society sends targeted advertisements at people who might be interested in vigilantism, such as people whose search queries on the internet have been for words like "vengeance," "justice," "peace," "vigilantes," etc.. These ads are very simple and subtle at first, and will take the viewer to a simple all-black page with an upside-down Anarchy symbol. After a while, small questions and puzzles will begin showing up on the page as well that will assess the viewer's potential. After this potential has been truly discovered, they will be given a login to the Watcher's website, where they will learn the true nature of what they have been seeing.
Members of the Watcher's Society dress up as a superhero vigilante that goes by the name Vigil. They will wear a black trenchcoat, black slacks, black boots, a black wide-brimmed hat (Dr. McDermott was given one once for assisting the Watchers, and still wears it constantly), and a tan t-shirt with an upside-down red anarchy symbol. Many times, they will wear a black mask of some sort to cover their face. The purpose of this is to give citizens a symbol for justice that they can follow, as though the group of vigilantes is actually one hero.
The Watchers website offers information, intel, and the ability to receive equipment, armor, and weapons for free by trading in successful missions assigned by the society. Members will take these missions and, in between them, will patrol their cities by night to protect innocent citizens from crime. In some locations, groups of Watchers work together, and will normally identify themselves by wearing different masks from the others in their group.
The Watchers Society discovered the existence of the supernatural in 2003, and since then have also become aware of ESPER. ESPER will help them when necessary, but for the most part see them as a nuisance.
