| Masonic Lodge | Political | Headquartered in Washington, DC with chapters in all major USNA cities. |
Masonry, intertwined with the history of the USNA, is a major organizational structure for C. plexii. In most lodges it's also referred to as the Weave, which is the C. plexus term for the global collection of C. plexii.
Perhaps originating in trade/craft guilds, Masonry is not so much a philosophical body of thought but more a structure of organization and power.

Created during the Crusades to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land, the Templars are now fearsome assassins, almost always with military backgrounds and training. The Templars mostly carry out jobs for banking and political interests, although some Templar cells are effectively murder-for-hire outfits that will work for anyone.

Ostensibly founded as an anti-theological alternative to Masonry, the Illuminati are actually dedicated to the extermination of C. plexii.
The Illuminati were supposedly banned and dissolved late in the 18th century, but they simply went further underground and doubled down on their campaign against C. plexii.
Given the deep integration of C. plexii with the USNA and Freemasonry, the Illuminati are based in Britain, and exert significant influence on the British government. They use Britain as their cover to carry out their mission.
