The Council of Venice

The Council of Venice is a democratic body that governs the Secret World, not unlike the keepers.

Relationship with the Keepers
The Council of Venice has had several run-ins with the Keepers in the past. Most notably in 2003, when rogue agents within the Council tried to render the Keepers powerless causing Eloise Cortez to leave the organization. Eloises later rejoined the organization and the relationship was mended.

After James Zimbardo was defeated in 2013, Eloise and Amber Skinner worked hard to restore the relationship between the Council and the Keepers. Jeremy Cross became a member of the Keepers and the Keepers representatitive on the Council of Venice.

After Eloise's death, Evelyne Ryan became a member.

Relationship with the Sanctuary
During the 13: Genesis Genesis event, the Council got suspicious of Sanctuary acitivity and Jeremy Cross was send to investigate. Sanctuary members were forced to participate in surveys and Q&A's and the relationship between the Council and the Sanctuary got worse.
