I also like this sort of thing. Whenever i make a character i generally cannot resist making a team for them, i enjoy making organisations almost as much as playing characters.

I like the option 2 "Eye of Odin" the best as i think it is the one that could conceal the most surprises and will allow allot of writing latitude to make your own universe.

Anyway here is a first draft of some characters that i might use. Think of it as a player resume.

Enter Professor Steven Pair, Professor of European history at Imperial College London. Outwardly, a historian of unremarkable stock, author of two books, both little known: 1.) Study of Aryan resistance movements to Nazism 1919-1945. 2.) Meta-analysis of Psychological Warfare In the Age of Sword. He is also the creator of the Society of Neoteric Historians, an invitation only secret society for those seeking out to experience history as it is being made.

Activities of the society are generally closely guarded secrets, but range from watching as the Brexit Referendum votes were televised in a function room, to being present at the 2002 Million man Hugo Chavez Resignation march in Venezuela. New members are generally proposed by Professor Pair and are then selected by committee of all the previous members. The prerequisites are "A proven love of history, a strong nerve and stiff upper lip." All candidates are thoroughly dox'd before approach, and usually have one of their university assignments or graduate thesis provided by Pair. The organisation is generally apolitical does not seek to preference any ideology for reasons of professional impartiality. 

The dues paid to the society are small, generally grossing not much more than a few thousand pounds per year for book keeping. They also keep Ross Brand, an industrial saboteur, on retainer. 

The current known members of the group are:
Addison Lewis, of London. BA in Italian History, studied under Pair. Dyslexic.
