In the past this group has sought to circumvent the democratic process of the United States in order to pass an unconstitutional Mutant Registration Act. They have invested trillions in research and human experimentation. Blocked or stolen technological patents in order to engineer towering robotic monstrosities tasked with unleashing unfathomable horrors. Lied, cheated and manipulated their way into coveted corporate positions of lasting privilege in order to better steer the course of not only their own fate, but the fate of humanity as a whole.

Presumed to have been established sometime in the shadow of Germany's nightmarish era of superior race driven radicals, decades later the cabal had seemingly disbanded in defeat. Along with their championed Ultra-Sapien, Charlemagne LeBeau, as mutant rights and prosperity not only endured, it thrived.

However the surviving brain-trust of both the Red September faction as well as officials from the doomed mutant concentration camp Reservation X, regrouped and rebranded. Called in every marker owed. Every unpaid debt. And as is the way with men of such vast unprecedented fortunes, their calls were answered. Everyone had something on the other. The collective fear of shared and mutual destruction was a lasting bond comparable to any love or hereditary based loyalty.

From the ashes of humanity Project Apex would once again emerge. Pushing the acceptable boundaries of technology, science, and morality. Allegedly even experimenting with technological artifacts found in a conspiratorial crash in the deserts of Nevada, and applying them to human test subjects. Possibly forming the prehistoric foundation of what would become the biotech hierarchy of the project, as man once again sought to play god and forge their own evolutionary offshoot called; Homo-novissima. A manufactured technology-based post-evolutionary amalgamation of machine and man.

In modern times Project Apex operates under the well crafted guise of a broker-dealer PA Financial Holdings INC. with more than 46,000 financial advisers and over $681 billion in advisory & brokerage assets generating approximately $45 billion in annual revenue for the 2019 fiscal year. PA Financial acts as the public intermediary for Project Apex and is currently overseen by the Silent Knight, Quintus Knightfall.

This Federal Holding Company is responsible for spreading the creation of illegal credit across a global financial system. However, operating as a dark-banking system, its members are not subject to regulatory oversight.

This model also refers to unregulated activities by other authorized regulated institutions. For instance, in premium-finance, there are routine discussions of global power brokers amalgamating the global financial wealth and power.

All with implicit or explicit knowledge of public market regulators. With no known physical location, it has been theorized that PA financial operates in the digital realm of cyber anonymity. Perhaps little more than a collection of server-farms studiously under the safe-guard of hired hackers and keyboard ronins
