The Illuminati influence events to pave the way for the Emperor's rebirth, and gather together the Sensei, protecting them from the persecution of the [[Inquisition]].
The [[Ordo Malleus]] of the Inquisition know of the Illuminati, considering them dangerous heretics. They fear the the Illuminati's plans are influenced by Chaos. The Ordo Malleus are devoted to wiping out the Illuminati and Sensei whenever they come across them, while in this secret war, the Illuminati engage in a campaign of confusion and disinformation against the Ordo Malleus.
Many Illuminati are also Inquisitors, which gives the brotherhood much more power and influence. One of the more proactive ways the brotherhood gains members is by ''illuminating'' others, subjecting the most promising individuals to daemonic possession and then freeing them.
