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.
The entire Space Marine chapter the [[Exorcists]] have been possessed by daemons and freed, and can therefore be said to be "Illuminated", but they have no connection to the Illuminati brotherhood. They also were possessed by minor daemons as opposed to Greater Daemons like the Illuminati have and therefore cannot be seen as true "Illuminati" in any regard.
Furthermore, within the Illuminati there is an even more extreme faction known as the [[Ordo Hydra]] that seeks to save mankind by linking the mind of every individual through a warp entity known as the Hydra, thereby psychically unifying mankind into one being under the control of the Ordo Hydra themselves.
