The All Seven

The seven most powerful, famous, and infamous high witches and warlocks in the mythical world make up The All Seven, the strongest coalition of witches and warlocks from around the world. They enforce the laws and are considered by many as the equivalent of royalty in the magickal world.

Members
The All Seven consists of 7 core members: Minerva Berardi, Hecate Gray, Chauncey LaCroix, Cornelis Niftrik, Thalia Ashmore, and Samir Narang. Following the recent and unexpected murder of Marilyn Bellamy, the group is seeking to fill the empty position.

Purpose
Formed in 1713 by survivors of the Salem Witch Trials, the All Seven act as the unofficial monarchy in the world of witchcraft and are considered to be incredibly influential. Originally, they acted as guardians, keeping the secret society of magick hidden from the mortal world. They would often send their agents (lesser witches and warlocks who pledged fealty to the cause) to prevent overzealous covens from exposing wizardkind through mass eradication of every witch, warlock, and persons present.

Background
Superstition paints a very dark picture of witches: they are described as old, bent, unattractive, bow legged, stringy haired practitioners of dark magic, always accompanied by their ever faithful and equally dastardly familiar. It was believed that a witch was unable to shed tears unless succumbing to the pain of torture, whereby the witch would cry and it was said they lost their powers. Severe punishments for practicing witches and warlocks were imposed from the seventh century and in the twelfth century the death penalty was brought in.
