The Divine Roll was published by the CIA's Special Case Department to list all the Immortal Level Overlords in the world.
The United States of America's Central Intelligence Agency was formed in 1947, however, the Special Case Department had a much longer history than that.
This department was co-funded by the dominating families during the American Revolutionary War. Its purpose was to investigate elements of the supernatural, such as Vampires and Werewolves.
The organization had changed over time and eventually became the Special Case Departments. The department played a pivotal role during the two great wars and their influence also reached a zenith during that time. It was the Dark World equivalent of the United Nations.
Therefore, the Special Case Department used to be called the International Association for Managing Super Humans, or, I.A.M.S.H.
