Fifteen Suits

Active: Circa 2013 to Unknown (possibly still active)

A supposed informal society of the chiefs of Majestic 12 following that organization's dissolution by the Abraham Administration. The Fifteen Suits worked quickly to arrange for MJ12's archives and stashed objects to disappear from the government's oversight and make their way into secure private hands. During the War, the Fifteen Suits acted as a third-party in the Shadow Wars, striking against both the USA and the Allied Nations in an attempt to prevent the conflict from spiraling out of control - they feared Teuthidoid interference in the war due to the fact that the Abraham Administration had alienated them, and that the Teuthidoids might side with the Allied Nations which could lead to catastrophic results for the remnants of America. They did not act directly in the Shadow Wars, and instead chose to play both sides against each other through indirectly hired agents and confidants.

The Fifteen Suits' primary goal was to prevent the Abraham Administration from misusing artifacts that Majestic 12 had sequestered away, but that they didn't completely succeed - the Jericho Network is suspected to be something that they were unable to block access to.

After the war ended and ArcXen was created, the Fifteen Suits covertly handed over the preserved records and objects they had been able to salvage from the demise of MJ12. To this day, nobody is sure of the identity of any of the members of the Fifteen Suits, but the general consensus is that they were the chiefs of MJ12 when it was dissolved. The moniker "Fifteen Suits" originates from the fact that every time someone was contacted by the organization, it was by a shadowy figure wearing a business suit, and the number refers to the fact that there are fifteen distinct identities of the figures - however nobody is sure if they are simply the same person in disguises or if they are different people. It is uncertain what happened to the Fifteen Suits after they handed over their records and materials to ArcXen, and it is also uncertain if they handed over everything.

In the post-war environment there persist rumors that the Fifteen Suits remain active and have been seeking to complete the dismantling of the Jericho Network to prevent it from being used again. Suspected members of the current incarnation of the Fifteen Suits include SDA chiefs and beastslayers, prominent politicians, and businessmen.
