The House of Power is a shadow organization that secretly controls the world that was established in 2012 by the original 'Monarchs' just before the collapse of the United Nations a decade later.

## The Monarchs

The Monarchs are the nine ringleaders of the House of Power. Upon joining, each member is given a title named after a game piece used in Chess, though the Gypsy Family are always referred to as 'The Father', with each piece needing to control a different sector of the world. Because of the Chess factor and the organizations secrecy, during meetings, which are usually holographic, each member must wear a mask decorated to look something like their assigned chess piece and every member refers to the other by their piece. What piece controls what sector is listed as:

* The Father - Controls Governments
* The Queen - Controls Corporations
* The King - Controls Data
* The Bishop - Controls Banking
* The Knight - Controls Technology
* The Rook - Controls Media
* The Pawn - Controls Manufacturing

### Current Monarchs

#### Roosevelt Gypsy

Roosevelt Gypsy is the descendant of the House of Power's main founder, Franklin Gypsy, the current patriarch of the Gypsy Family and the holder of 'The Father' position. Like every Gypsy family member since Franklin, he has long retreated from the public eye, with very few in the obvious public knowing of his existence.

#### Elvira Van Kessel

Elvira Van Kessel is the descendant of the House of Power founder, Lenore Van Kessel, the current matriarch of the Van Kessel Dynasty and the holder of 'The Queen' position. It has been known that the Van Kessel family has always been the Gypsy family's most trusted ally and so has become just as powerful as them.

#### Godfrey De La Cour

Godfrey De La Cour is the descendant of the House of Power founder, Kristopher De Niro, and the holder of 'The King' position. Like many families from the groups founding, members of the family married off into different families, which resulted in them changing their last names, but still are direct descendants of the originals.

#### Cordelia Lovato

Cordelia Lovato is the descendant of the House of Power founder, Zachary Ellison, and is the holder of 'The Bishop' position. Originally, Cordelia was the fifth of five siblings, but after each 'mysteriously' died in accidents, she was given the title of the Lovato family matriarch and in turn, become the new member of the Monarchs.

#### Kazuki Yomohiro

Kazuki Yomohiro is the descendant of the House of Power founder, Romy Asai, and is the holder of 'The Knight' position. Despite each family keeping their originally Chess piece, descendants of the Asai and Bridgestone families eventually branched out into the others sector, which resulted in a rare swap of positions.

#### Annalise Marisol Peregrine

Annalise Marisol Peregrine is the descendant of the House of Power founder, Augusta Bridgestone, and is the holder of 'The Rook' position. She is considered to be the most known of the seven to the public since she was at one point the rather out going CEO of G.B.A, before handing the role over to the current Donna Benedict.

#### Claude Boykin

Claude Boykin is the descendant of the House of Power founder, Madeleine Cobe, and is the holder of 'The Pawn' position. Despite being a descendant of Cobe, who was just as respected as the rest, Boykin has been shunned upon by the rest for being a replacement since the previous holder passed away of a heart attack.

## Operatives

### The Couriers

The 'Couriers' are the people intrusted by the Monarchs to recruit operatives and handle private affairs. They blend in with the crowd more then the Ascendants and Bookkeepers, but are still in the upper/middle class.

### The Bookkeepers

The Bookkeepers are the people intrusted by the Monarchs, and overlooked mostly by The Bishop and The King, to handle money, status, knowledge and any problems that could effect the outside world badly. They rain between companies, government officials and underworld bookkeepers.
