The Majestic Council of the Twelve (more commonly called Majestic 12 or MJ12, and also known as Those Who Rule in Majesty, the Twelve and They Who Rule the World in Majesty) is a secretive group of people conspiring to control the world. Prior to the 2030s, Majestic 12 is a division of the Illuminati focused on controlling technology and communications. Following a coup by Bob Page - one of the leaders of Majestic 12 - the organization breaks away from its parent, taking over all Illuminati infrastructure in the process.
