Nine beings with ties to the occult were brought together by Doctor Strange to fight Lilith and her demonic children, Lilin. The various individuals who made up the initial group already had their own involvement with Lilin, but most were unaware of the full magnitude of their situation until Strange magically brought them together to stop Lilin's foray into Greenland.
