	According to myth, the Nine Unknown Men were each given a discipline of knowledge to protect from society. It is said that the practice of the disciplines could lead to the destruction of society and the world, and that these books were the cause of the Raman Empire's destruction. The Nine often act with a [[moral ambiguity\|morally gray]] mentality and commit themselves to the "greater good." Despite being common folklore of conspiracy theorists, The Nine are often regarded as being beneficial to the world, unlike organizations such as the Illuminati or the Free Masons.
