The GOC was created in the aftermath of WWII, from the remnants of defecting occultists, psychics, 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
pride 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.
They have been both on the side of the Foundation and against it at times, depending on the situation. They largely hold the Foundation in contempt for their use and containment of
SCP items rather than their out-and-out destruction. The GOC has respected the Foundation'
s formidable might enough to leave it mostly alone, although there have been some questionable incidents with which the GOC have strictly denied involvement.
