Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters: Originally based in Westchester, New York, it was closed temporarily once Krakoa formed. It is a place for mutants to come to in order to enter Krakoa. The school took in all mutants who needed saving, and also was the home of the X-Men. Operations continue in Krakoa, but are less centralized due to Charles Xavier now having a government position as a leader of Krakoa.

The Hellfire Club: a social organization of mutants that values power and money. Sebastian Shaw (Black King) and Emma Frost (White Queen) use their leverage to influence politics, but now find themselves as the driving economic force for Krakoa. Shaw is not necessarily serving the mutants as much as his selfish goals, but Emma counteracts him by making Kitty Pryde the Red Queen of the company. Kitty is Captain of the Marauder, a trading vessel for the company that doubles as a ship to pick mutants up on. She also acts as a second vote at the Hellfire table on the Quiet Council, making Shaw’s single vote overpowered by two from Emma and Kitty.

Sentinels: Massive robots built to identify, adapt to, and kill mutants.

Brotherhood of mutants: formerly an immoral mutant supremacy group led by Magneto, but disbanded once Krakoa formed because the paradise’s formation meant their goal was achieved.

X-Men: Led by Cyclops (Scott Summers), they have become guardians of Krakoa. Despite the argument for them being unnecessary now, they still operate in a smaller capacity.

IMPORTANT: Laynia Petrovna’s personality can generally be described as strong-willed, compassionate, patriotic, independent, and occasionally stubborn. She is proud of her Russian heritage. She can also be quietly affectionate if she’s close with the person

Krakoa is a newly established island nation made by and solely for mutants. Strong-arming other nations into peace by possessing vital trade exports, mutantkind is creating a paradise while also granting total amnesty to all mutants, villains included. The Quiet Council is the ruling government body of Krakoa. It consists of 12 members (Charles Xavier, Magneto, Apocalypse, Jean Grey, Storm, Nightcrawler, Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw, Kitty Pryde, Mystique, Exodus, and Mr. Sinister). They are actively in the process of trying to bring all mutants to Krakoa, offering a safe haven. Resurrection Protocols has essentially created immortality for them, but it also raises the ethical concerns that people are too comfortable with death now, and the people contributing to the protocols, specifically Mr. Sinister, could be using it for evil. However, the general opinion on Krakoa is that it has become a place of experimentation. It sets the stage for mutants to make peace with each other, to live free of humanity’s bigotry, and potentially open the door to many new love stories.

The Resurrection Protocols are performed by five mutants in unison. Proteus (Kevin MacTaggert), Hope Summers, Egg (Fabio Medina), Elixir (Joshua Foley), and Tempus (Eva Bell) work together to clone and “revive” a mutant. However, if any one of them is removed, the revival fails. Also, Sinister’s genetic library of mutant DNA is necessary for this. Cerebro must also be active to place memories back into the clones. Because Sinister is vital to resurrection, the Council keeps him close but takes caution.

There is also the threat of the Orchis. They are an anti-mutant terrorist group lead by Omega Sentinel who want to destroy Krakoa, but do not know its location yet.

Quiet Council seating arrangement: Table 1: the Founders. Charles Xavier, Magneto, and Apocalypse sit here.

Table 2: the X-Men. Storm, Nightcrawler, and Jean Grey sit here. They act as the council’s moral compass.

Table 3: the Hellfire Club. Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw, and Kate ‘Kitty’ Pryde sit here. The Hellfire Trading Company has become the primary economic source for Krakoa. Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw are its leaders, but they are fierce rivals who will undercut each other to gain an edge. To gain a numbers advantage at their table, Emma Frost promoted her close friend Kitty Pryde to Red Queen, giving her the third seat at the table and putting her in charge of sailing the trading ship.

Table 4: The Wildcards. Exodus, Mr. Sinister, and Mystique sit here. They do not align with each other but share a table because their voices hold power. Sinister in particular is a growing concern due to his alleged misuse of the genetic library he stores, holding the DNA of hundreds of thousands of mutants.

Table 5: not really a table, but because Krakoa is a living island, the central tree (named Arakko) will occasionally give an input. The mutant Cypher (Doug Ramsey), serves as its translator.
