The Trust

The Supernaturals have created a global society, a secret community that exists beneath the human one. But to maintain this secrecy requires a tremendous amount of influence and preparation. While Supernaturals themselves maintain this secrecy, they are aided by ordinary mortals - mortals who are referred to under the simple banner of the Trust.
The Trust may grant them a mystique of ultra-secretive, backroom government types who manipulate the news and official documents of government. The truth is far simpler: most members of the Trust are morticians, funeral directors, doctors, government employees in charge of issuing drivers licenses, etc. These are the humble, everyday people who manage the information in society. And, consequently, the very people you will need to change your name if you are a Supernatural passing from one 'lifetime' to another.
Members of the Trust are civilians aware of the Supernaturals and who receive pensions and stipends in return for helping Supernaturals stay hidden. When a Supernatural wishes to "die" and take up a new life, he contacts a local member of the Trust, goods are exchanged, a funeral and cause of death is arranged, and new identifying papers are issued.
There is great power, both for good and evil, in the Trust. While ideally the Trust allows Supernaturals to keep their privacy, sadly many would use them for more sinister purposes.  But while one may be willing to criticize the Trust, the truth is that without them too many people would start noticing oddities in funeral records and the mortals could become aware of inhuman beings walking among them.
Adepts make us of the Trust the same as anyone else. Adepts like Immortals need new identities in order to stay hidden, and if an Adept accidentally breaks the Discipline Arcani, they may need to relocate and start a new life lest too much attention build up upon them. Many Adept actually work as a part of the Trust.
