Perhaps the hardest society to crack, Le Cercle goes all the way to the top. Heads of state. Intelligence operatives. Chiefs of industry. Vatican envoys. All have a seat at the table for meetings of the ultra-secret Le Cercle. What started in the post-war years as a Catholic conservative group built to broker European rapprochement now operates as a shadow intelligence agency that is rumored to control world politics. Thought to be rooted in secret religious sects like the Opus Dei and Knights of Malta, its aims are now mostly political. Its members have funded coups and installed world leaders, all while they sit elbow-to-elbow with names like Rockefeller, Kissinger, and Rumsfeld. Le Cercle operations circumvent traditional governments and all accountability.
