~ The Black Queen on the O5 Command Dossier.

The O5 Council, also known as the O5 Command, the Overseers, and the Overwatch, are
the overarching protagonists of the SCP Mythos.

It is the ruling body of the SCP Foundation, consisting of 13 individuals who are widely
regarded, and rightfully so, as among the most powerful, if not the most powerful, and
influential individuals on the planet to the point where they could outright alter history itself if
they so wished. They keep watch over everything and everyone that has a certain experience
and history dealing with anomalous entities and objects.

History
Being the overseers of the Foundation, they have unlimited access to all information about
anomalies and Foundation-operations. Due to their nature, they can be either heroic or
villainous, although they have very questionable morals to the point of outright malevolence.

As stated before, the O5 Council is the ruling body of the Foundation. They are the people
who have ultimate control over the Foundation and all its operations. They are so secretive
and unknown that many people, even ones with a high seat in society, dismiss them as a myth
much like the Illuminati.

The members of the O5 Council are unknown as they could be practically anyone, especially
those with a high position of power in the world. Each O5 member knows almost everything
there is to know about the Foundation and its activities. Between them all, they know every
single secret that the Foundation holds.

Most Foundation personnel spend their entire careers without seeing them. Members below
Clearance Level 2 do not even know they exist. Most people outside the Foundation have
never heard of them, and even dismiss them as being not real at all, mostly as a way to keep
people in line out of fear. Even if they are real, Foundation personnel do not even believe that
they are human.

While no one knows this for sure, it is purported that the O5 Council is comprised of humans,
although, some of them could be humans whilst the rest are not. A minority of the O5 Council
may have anomalous abilities or traits if reports are to be believed, but it is generally believed
that none of the O5 Council are reality benders, and most of them are simply human.

The O5s rarely intervene in the day-to-day processes of the Foundation or the containment of
SCP objects. They tend to keep an eye on Keter-Class objects, and practically micromanage
Thaumiels.

O5 Council members are officially barred from coming into contact with any anomalous
entities. This is, naturally, not strictly true in practice. At a minimum, all O5 Council
members of sufficient tenure have access to a "Fountain of youth". And that aside, O5s tend
to be able to bend rules, even their own rules.

Some reports suggest that the O5s regularly switch numbers with each other and that they
make common use of body doubles and other security and disinformation techniques.
