The House of Life.
HQ: Cairo, Egypt.
Function: Magicians' order.
Founder: Imhotep, 2632 BC, Memphis.
Symbol: An anhk toped by a box.
Founded by the great magician and architect Imhotep, the House started in Egypt but has spread all over the world. When the Assyrians conquered Egypt, the House built a base in Assur and slowly spread up and down the Mediterranean coast. When Rome conquered Egypt, a base was built in Rome for the House. When Italy finally fell to the Goths, the House was routed and destroyed in the West. In the East, Constantinople forced the House underground and destroyed all their bases outside of Egypt. Today, the House is still under ground, beneath Cairo, where they practice their magic and wait for the return of the gods.

League of Trades.
The League of Bronze Knives.
HQ: Prague, Czech Republic. Castle Mountain, Canada.
Function: Assassins for hire.
Founding: Tahn-Nush the Bloody, 1074 BC, Babylon.
Symbol: A bronze scorpion.
Founded by the legendary assassin Tahn-Nush the Bloody in his home city of Babylon. Tahn brought as many bandits and cutthroats in Babylonia and Assyria as he could under his control, forming a spy network that went from Sparta to Ninevah to Memphis. All through out history, all the great assassins have been hired from the League of Bronze Knives. After Tahn-Nush died, the best assassins fought each other for control. A sassanid named Chorose won. In 1042 AD, the League moved from the Middle East to Prague, and after the New World was discovered, the League made another base in Castle Mountain in Canada in 1780. When Bartimeus the Vicious fell prey to ambitious underlings in 1929, Eshur-Appendel, an Assyrian mummy previously called to join the White Guard, took the position.

Stygian Undercouncil.
Stygian Undercouncil:
HQ: Tartarus, Hades.
Function: Malign high council.
Founding: Kronos, 1193 BC, Tartarus.
Symbol: Corinthian bronze helm with a spiky, black half-circle under it, on a dark blue background.
When the Olympians overthrew their titan overlords, they had to devise various ways to dispose of the immortal giants. Such as chaining Prometheus to a rock and having an eagle rip out his liver every day. Zeus personally dispatched his father, Kronos, by cutting him to pieces and casting him into the pit of Tartarus. Kronos lost control of all his legions, who scattered when the gods defeated the titans, so Kronos, forever falling through the darkness of Tartarus, called together powerful creatures in a council to be his new voice to his scattered subjects. They built a palace by the mouth of Tartarus and began calling to all manner of evil creatures, calling them to their banner. In 1985, the Undercouncil, at Dracula's prodding, declared open war on mankind, sending their reformed legions to conquer Greece. But Lance DeMoi and Harley Green averted the crisis, Harley died in the process though.

White Guard.
White Guard:
HQ: St Petersburg, Russia.
Function: Demonic defense organization.
Founding: Michael. 663 BC, Thebes, Egypt.
Symbol: A bronze kite shield with white bird wings, emblazoned with a rising sun, and a sword crossed with a staff.
Founded long ago in Egypt by, allegedly, Archangel Michael. He called humans and parahumans from all around the Mediterranean, among them were thieves, beggars, soldiers, bandits, and murderers. Of all he called, only five backed down; Tamar, Ashdornepul, Kahn, Necho, and Eshur-Appenadal. Tamar, Kahn, and Necho relented and joined sometime later, Ashdornepul left and was never heard from again, while Eshur joined the League of Bronze Knives and is the current leader. The White Guard has been protecting the Earth and the human race since it's founding, especially from the League. The White Guard does not have a central leader, instead all the members hold a yearly council at St. Petersburg. After the Muslims conquered Egypt, the Guard moved to Constantinople, but after that was taken by the Ottomans, they moved to Moscow. When St. Petersburg was founded, a problem arose in the new city, so the White Guard went and solved the problem, but the Guard decided to stay in the city, making St. Petersburg, to this day, the world headquarters of the White Guard.

DPIR.
Department of Paranormal Investigation and Research:
HQ: Perseus, NY.
Function: Paranormal investigation government department.
Founding: Prof. Thomas Brown and Dr. Kelvin Cook, 1824, Washington DC.
Symbol: A silver eagle holding Excalibur and the Caduceus of Hermes, with Aegis on his chest.
After purchasing the Louisiana Purchase and the Montpellier Cache, the US government searched for intelligent men to study the artifacts purchased from France, including how to wake the idle Napoleon Jr. Prof. Thomas Brown from Harvard College was selected. He went to DC and was given a lab and government funding, Thomas, after three months of study, needed co-scientists, so the government searched for the smartest scientists. They found Dr. Kelvin Cook of North Carolina. During a lightning storm, Cook channeled a bolt into Napoleon; awakening the comatose automation. Thomas opened the two-person group to the other scientists, calling it the Congregation of Paranormal Science. Slowly, the group grew to nearly a hundred scientists. In 1874, Lance DeMoi joined the Congregation as a protector for the scientists during expeditions. While on a dig in Palenque on 1877, Lance stumbled upon an Aryan Crystal, after touching it, the crystal exploded pumping energy into Lance, and it exploded and shot a shard into his right eye. Lance became the first member of the Special attributes corps, or SACorps. The Congregation, in 1885, found Chester at the bottom of Chesapeake Bay, the Dweller was the second member. In the same year, Alexander Sherman, a human with energy storage powers, joined, thus the first generation of the SACorps was made. The generations passed on, though Lance and Chester remained, until 2010, the current members being: Sirius Potter as commander, Lance, Chester, Otto van Hamburg, Alison King, Sal, Richard Reynolds Jr, and the newest addition, telepath Bianca Thorne, granddaughter of the great psychic Sydney Thorne.
