	The '''Illuminati''' (meaning "illuminated") are a group whose members "illuminate" themselves by voluntarily allowing [[daemon]]ic possession of their bodies and then exorcising themselves by sheer personal willpower, much like the [[Exorcists]] do. This makes them invisible to daemons (which raises the question of why they call themselves "illuminated"; maybe it's a joke on their part). In the [[Realm of Chaos]] sourcebook (from [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader]]), they were said to be like the [[Harlequins]] of the [[Eldar]], running around in the shadows to round up the Emperor's descendants, the [[Sensei]], sacrifice them at the [[Golden Throne]] while killing the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]], and causing him to reincarnate into the [[Star Child]].

The purpose of the illuminati is to gather as many sensei as possible in order to sacrifice them (they are not very happy about that) to finally awake the Star Child. Chaos want to corrupt all of them (well not a great change).

The sensei can take a retinue which can be compoused by a lot of alien species like eldar harlequin, orks, tau etc. Among these species there also the SQUATS (they have even Hatred against the tyranids, prove that the theory that they have been devoured by the space bugs may actually be true).
