History

The Council of Nine was a cabal of wealthy, American industrialists who manipulated national events from behind-the-scenes. They operated in secret out of the Arena Club, a Los Angeles-based social club that kept its membership "white and pale." The Council of Nine was allegedly responsible for the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the assassination of President William McKinley.

Notes

• Captain Carter's showrunners Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas confirmed that the Council of Nine is the MCU version of the Secret Empire from the comics.
• The Council's symbol is similar to one used by an early version of Hydra in the third season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
