	Shrouded in secrecy, only fragments of the Inner Circles' history are known. During the Revolutionary War, an attempt by Philadelphia members to obtain strategic information from the influential [[Worthington, Wallace\|Major-General Wallace Worthington]] failed, with fatal consequences for Worthington. In 1859, London's Inner Circle was forced into a brief alliance with the mutant conqueror [[Apocalypse (En Sabah Nur)\|Apocalypse]].

An act of sabotage by London branch member [[Manners, Harry\|Sir Harry Manners]], who sought to facilitate a German victory in the Great War, was foiled by British superhero [[Union Jack (Montgomery Falsworth)\|Union Jack]] later that same year.

During his absence, Shaw's former aide [[Sage\|Tessa]] joined the X-Men, revealing that she had been a spy working for Xavier all along. Following Shaw's withdrawal, Selene seized her chance and returned as the Inner Circle's Black Queen. In league with the demon [[Blackheart]], she succeeded in coercing Xavier's former student [[Sunspot\|Roberto DaCosta]] into joining her as a Black Rook. Her Inner Circle's capacity to act, however, remained hamstrung by the unwelcome presence of its contentious White King, superhero exorcist [[Hellstorm\|Daimon Hellstrom]]. Eventually, Sebastian Shaw made his return to the Inner Circle as Lord Imperial, but immediately lost the position to DaCosta when an attack by Pierce resulted in his hospitalization.
