 The GOC was created in the aftermath of World War II, from the remnants of defecting occultists, physicists, priests, and scientists from Nazi, Soviet, and allied states, brought together and formed by the Allies, as the world stage broadened. So, too, did the number of countries that had their hands in the GOC, until it became what it is today. The GOC are a largely political force, seeing themselves as the police of the paranormal world. They pry themselves on destroying supernatural entities, and make use of the most high-tech experimental technology possible, obtained from their benefactors. Many potential SCPs have been destroyed by them, before the Foundation could obtain and contain them.
