Ever since aboriginal shamans first locked horns with puritan mystics, ever since the first explorers of the “New World” unearthed mysteries far older than they could comprehend, there have been secret discoveries, secret wars, within the United States of America. And since almost the beginning, an organization was created to deal with it. Its purpose is simple: to protect America from paranormal forces, to make certain that the American populace remains ignorant (or “protected”) from them, and to see how such forces can be used for the betterment of the country.
Most citizens, even most superheroes, are not aware that Number None exists outside of a few urban legends. It is staffed by the Men in Black, who investigate, infiltrate, and eliminate (and in some cases appropriate) the occult and the paranormal. They once tried to cover-up superheroes as a whole, but these transhuman beings just became too big too fast. So now Number None tries to control them instead. For their own good of course.
The leaders in the organization are very aware of the Sun Emperor and his approaching host of Sun-Eaters. In their own dark way, they are preparing to do battle with him.
