Has a long-term agenda, not a villain's rap sheet — and the team is one move on a board that's been running for thirty years. Wealthy, connected, and more patient than anything the team's faced yet. Every encounter with the Society plays the same way: one ambassador, one venue, decades of context the team hasn't caught up to.
Signature moves: a private invitation, a confidential leak, an offer of membership, a hint at consequences for saying no.
Defeated by: the team uncovering the actual board behind it — usually a campaign-arc-length investigation.
Appearance: A single tailored figure in understated, expensive black, a signet ring the only ornament, a voice pitched for a room that's always quiet before they speak. Carries decades of comfort like other people carry a coat.
