The High Table, or The Table, is a council of twelve crime lords that govern the underworld's most powerful criminal organizations. It is considered the ultimate authority of the underworld and is feared and respected by all.  The High Table shares ties with the Continental, a global hotel chain that also serves as an autonomous assassin organization.

Specific details regarding the origins and the formation of the Table are largely unknown, other than it was founded by the fallen Angel Asmodai long before the establishment of the Roman Empire.  She still sits at the head of the table and is referred to as the 'Elder'.

It is described to be larger than any government on Earth. The organizations represented by members of the High Table have many police forces, politicians, and bureaucrats around the world in their pockets, allowing them to conduct business with virtual impunity.

The structure of the High Table has remained unchanged since it's formation. At the top sits the Elder, followed by the High Council, then various agents, representatives and soldiers. 

Founded the High Table and has ruled it with an iron fist. Established the rules and codes of conduct that still apply today. 

The High Table has a number of specialized agents who operate worldwide in every country the Table has jurisdiction in. These agents outrank every regional organization, up to and including the Continentals' Managers and enforce the Table's decisions or take special measures to ensure its interests. Similar to the seat holders they served, the agents are replaceable, with a new successor taking their position. 

Adjudicators, an agent who is entrusted with sentencing people who violate the organization's regulations or conduct offenses against the High Table. Each of them had their own special coin to identify themselves of their title. They also hired their own enforcers or henchmen in order to assist them in doing their job. 

These agents are tasked with being the Table's judges, settling disputes between fighting members and upholding the rules and customs, and carrying a wax-sealed letter to denote their status. They are also messengers who deliver news of the Table's decisions to convicted members, hence their name. Several servants aid them in preparing High Table events like the duel's cards, weapons, refreshments, and even assisting the Harbinger's wardrobe on occasion. 

One of the most powerful but rarely encountered High Table agents is the Autem Imperator, a position also known as the Sheriff of the High Table. This is a high-ranking and a senior High Table member (but not necessarily one with a seat at the Table) who was, through a universal agreement among all twelve seat holders, given the power to represent them as a judge, jury, and executioner of any rule-breaking members. As their status was given in times of crisis, the imperator represents the Table as a whole and can make drastic decisions without waiting for its members' approval. One such capability is the ability to deploy several armies of henchmen and soldiers, similar to the Adjudicator, but with more autonomy.
