Parliament of Systematization

The Parliament of Systematisation is a secretive organization whose ultimate goal was to build humanity from the ground up again, while at the same time preventing an invasion by an unnamed alien species in the near future.

The organization was lead by the enigmatic The Nightwatchman, a well-dressed and eloquent man who only physically appeared in the fifth and final series. Other members include Zeitgeist, a "Vigil", and Mr. Frederiksen, who does not agree with the notion that civilization should be destroyed to prevent an alien invasion.

The Observation Phase
The longest and most vague phase, the Observation has been going on for centuries, according to the Nightwatchman.

The One Who Watches
The senior member of the Parliament, the leader, is known as the One Who Watches. The Nightwatchman occupies this role as the overseer and leader of the Parliament. Mr. Frederiksen possibly occupied this role sometime in the past.

Vigils
Vigils are the spies of the Parliament, they blend into everyday life and observe the human race, without detection. They are vital to the Observation Phase, though their use in later phases is to a lesser extent.

Vanguards
Vanguards are the foot soldiers of the Parliament. They are typically strong and tactile, and only take active part in the Parliament's activities in the latter Phase.

Cleansmen
Cleansmen are the Owls who are assigned to clean up the mess after the Parliament ultimately destroys mankind.
