Notes:
Organization Type
In disguise means the organization wears masks or other disguises when they meet–ideally no one knows who anyone else is. Realistically, a mask or a sheet is a terrible disguise.
Infiltrators are a loose organization of “moles.” This is similar to cells, except that almost all members could not identify more than one other member of the organization.
A large conspiracy includes more than one organization. These organizations might even be opposed to one another (at least publicly).
Alignment
Chaotic Neutral organizations might seem a contradiction, unless you realize that not all organizations are effective. This might be an organization that has fallen onto bad or desperate times.
