The Tenth Unknown by Jvalant Nalin Sampat

Borders change, kingdoms, empires and even entire civilizations rise and fall. You will see the entire history of humanity as a tapestry and not be wavered by the prevalent political scenario, no matter how bleak it is. You will never pledge your loyalties to any kingdom or empire. Your loyalties will always lie with humanity and you must always use this knowledge for the greater good and never for personal or political gain. The greed inherent in every human being will tempt you to do otherwise, but the presence of the other eight will help keep you in check. You have been chosen because I believe you to be the finest men and women of my empire. Finally, you shall never reveal your existence to the outside world. You shall call yourselves “The Nine Unknowns”.
