This group has its origins in the aftereffects of the death of Prince Makatiel in 1348 AD, and has grimly held on ever since. Its members were Servitors of Disease who traded most of their freedom and dignity to Saminga in exchange for their continued existence; each one of them bitterly resents the trade. Even their Word-Bound are distinctly considered second-class servants in the hierarchy of Death. It was, perhaps, inevitable that they would form a society dedicated around recovering their former glory.
It is not entirely clear that Saminga is unaware of this group, or that he would particularly care about them even if he did.
This Quantum 5 world diverged from Homeline's on March 28th, 1911, 7:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time. This date is not actually known to Infinity's researchers; they have at this point only narrowed the divergence point to somewhere in the spring of 1911. What appears to have happened was that some sort of quantum effect (translation: "nobody knows") thoroughly randomized human conceptions across the planet: no one conceived past that point has a precise genetic match to the equivalent person in Homeline's history. The effects of this were not immediately obvious until about the 1950s, and even today Incognito is a surprisingly close parallel to Homeline's (and our) 2006. The World Wars and Cold War still occurred; the United States still dominates the post-Cold War era; and the many of the same conflicts still simmer. But the population of Incognito is by now completely different... which includes its celebrities, entertainers, and politicians.
This fact appeals to a large segment of Homeline's ruling class.
