About The Pentaverate [pen-tav-urr-uht]: What if a secret society of five men has been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague of 1347? As this new series begins, one unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself. Remember, the Pentaverate must never be exposed!

3) Rex Smith: A far-right radio host and highly prominent conspiracy theorist

4) Lord Lordington: The Pentaverate’s oldest and highest-ranking member.

5) Bruce Baldwin: Former media mogul

6) Mishu Ivanov: Ex-Russian oligarch

7) Shep Gordon: Former Rock-N-Roll manager
