The Nine Unknown Men

The Nine Unknown Men is a group which consists of nine special men and their servants, who hail from all walks of life and could be absolutely anyone, anywhere. The Nine are men who follow nine particular bloodlines from families that somehow greatly influenced history. These families were integral in the formation of world events as they currently are, and some have suggested that the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Merovingian Dynasty, the Plantaganets, the Khans, the Medicis, and even the Draculs are some of the families that make up these bloodlines.
Each of the men is responsible for a certain function of world culture... war, religion, economy, politics, health, education, crime, entertainment, and magick. They work together to ensure that a balance is struck and that all these functions can operate as they are supposed to without endangering one another. They also collect the world's knowledge on their individual subjects. Their collection is actually much more sizable than that of ESPER, if for no other reason than that many more subjects are represented. Their major purpose in this is to make sure that certain information doesn't fall into the wrong hands, although there are some cases where one might suspect the Nine Men WERE the wrong hands.
ESPER has only been able to encounter this organization very briefly only a very few times, but when they did, it was to fight on behalf of the world for a decision they felt was wrong by one or all of the Nine. ESPER is not very friendly toward them, even though the organization operates on a system of ethics very close to their own, and claim to be an organization for peace.
There is sometimes said to be a Tenth Man, who precedes over the world's Resistance.
