The '''Illuminati''' are a secret society - existing beyond even the Emperor's knowledge, but manipulating and interpreting the most secret of brotherhoodsImperial Will to bring about their objectives. Its members all share the same experience: they have been possessed by [[Daemon]]s and then, either through the force of their own will or through outside assistance, have freed themselves. Sharing a mind with a daemon they have gained the most intimate understanding of Chaos. Having mastered the Chaos within themselves, they are immune to its temptations and corruption. They then fight Chaos in the broader universeand, as they share a common enemy, and are frequently involved on some level with the [[Eldar]], in particular the [[Harlequins]]. The Illuminati are ultimately dedicated some of very few allowed access to mankindthe Eldar's survival[[Black Library]] of Chaos. They know of the [[Fall of the Eldar]], and seek to prevent the same from happening to Man.
The Illuminati are plotting to have the [[Emperor of Mankind]] reborn. They realize the Emperor is failing and cannot survive in his current state of living death forever. They plan to rejuvenate the Emperor by sacrificing his descendants, the [[Sensei]], at the moment the Emperor's will finally fails. The Emperor will be reborn, as the Sensei-Emperor, to again lead humanity directly. Their plans are a carefully kept secret; should the Emperor learn their plan, he may see no reason to continue to endure, and allow himself to die prematurely. Should the Sensei learn they may be unwilling to meet their intended fate.
