Chronology TSPs
Yomikawa Aiho, Yoshikawa Kikyou and Last Order
 * On January 1st, Last Order, Yomikawa and Yoshikawa went to the Special Criminal Adult Correctional Facility to pay Accelerator a New Year's visit. The visit was ultimately cut short when Accelerator learned of the Bridge Builders Cabal setting up a consulate inside the city.
 * The next day, Yomikawa returned to the prison to visit Tessou Tsuzuri, in order to borrow her insight on several matters, including Kumokawa Seria's recent actions.

Sisters
 * On January 1st, Misaka X was among several Sisters who were at a shrine in School District 12 when Mikoto and Touma's groups paid a visit. (Pt3-4)
 * On the morning of January 1st, Misaka 10032 was stationed in a security booth at School District 11's east gate and met Touma's group returning to the city after the events in Shibuya.
 * 7.30AM, TV/window open, drink, few different options, chosen public service group as AC need help with AS shorthanded, front line of checking travellers/cargo in/out of city, supposedly secret clone working - sign of changing times

TSP: By the start of the new year, the Sisters had been given official identities and were participating in an experiment to see if clones could participate in society. They were split into groups, each attempting to work in a different field (e.g. education, public service, finance, labor, research etc) - with their numbers, it was deemed faster if the Sisters attempted every genre and see what suited them best.
 * Individual case: By the start of the new year, the Sisters had been given official identities and were participating in an experiment to see if clones could participate in society, split into groups and each trying out work in different fields.
 * By the start of the new year, the Sisters had been given official identities and were participating in an experiment to see if clones could participate in society, split into groups and each trying out work in different fields. Misaka 10032 had chosen the public service group, given the help that was needed since Anti-Skill was shorthanded.
 * On the morning of January 1st, she was stationed in a security booth at School District 11's east gate, on the front line of checking travellers and cargo in and out of the city. At 7.30AM, watching the end of a PR drama and feeling the cold, she met Touma's group returning to the city after the events in Shibuya. During the encounter, she felt some frustration from the Will of the Misaka Network towards Othinus. Lightly inquiring about the situation with the bound and carried Aradia, Misaka 10032 let Touma pass while advising him to be careful in future as Anti-Skill would have taken him into custody. However, having heard of the tradition from Heaven Canceller, she did extract a New Year's money gift from him.
 * On January 3rd, she was with Misaka 10032 as the Sisters were firing the District 2 museum's in a long-range attack against Alice Anotherbible's Gryphon as it was mauling Touma. Seeing that while the beast had spat him out it was unharmed from the artillery, Mikoto was about to prepare a railgun strike.

Sisters (non-10032):
 * By the start of the new year, the Sisters had been given official identities and were participating in an experiment to see if clones could participate in society, split into groups and each trying out work in different fields.
 * On January 1st, she was one of the Sisters present at the School District 12 shrine visited by Kamijou Touma, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki's groups.
 * On January 3rd, she was among the Sisters who were firing the District 2 museum's in a long-range attack against Alice Anotherbible's Gryphon as it was mauling Touma.

During Touma's visit to School District 12 on January 1st, it was noted that there were X-related constructions among the religious facilities there, merely reproductions from a scientific perspective without anything relating to magic.

On January 3rd, figures from X were among the deities referenced during the battles with Trismegistus, who invoked deities associated in Liber 777 into a triangle with himself.

Principles
The Bridge Builders Cabal dwells in the hidden part of the world, and is made up of powerful magicians, each capable of rivalling the regular Magic Side on their own, who have gathered in order to collectively decide how to make the world a better place.

Transcendents
The cabal's members are potent magicians and magical entities from various backgrounds, who refer to themselves as Transcendents (超絶者).

Transcendents have been described as each being powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on their own, such that the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church could not stop with them in the usual way (though the Bologna Succubus briefly noted that some of them might be closer to what the Russian Orthodox Church was used to dealing with).

While the exact nature of their power differs, they are each capable of destroying or changing the world in their own way and each have their own reasons to want to change the world. However, it would much easier for them to wreck a world than creating or protecting one, and if they destroyed a world they wouldn't be able to remake everything they had destroyed afterwards (as a fully-fledged Magic God might be able to do), which is why they gathered together to discuss and agree on how the world needed to change before actually making the changes, so their efforts wouldn't be jeopardized.

They have been described as those who have passed down and provided guidance in magic, a collection of myths and stories that present knowledge at its simplest (which is apparently why their power is strangely missing from records such as those kept by the Anglican grimoire library), and monsters who do not fall purely into the human categories of Science Side and Magic Side. They have been described as each having a legend on the same level as Anna Sprengel, with one reigning above the rest. In a conversation between Anna and Aradia surrounding the subject, letters and notes, texts from correspondence lessons, urban legends, coded, analyzed and rearranged texts, were talked of.

At least some of the Transcendents use 'common tone creation' (共通トーン作成) to translate and synthesize their speech into unfamiliar languages.

During his analysis of the cabal, Aleister Crowley came to the conclusion that the Transcendents were all linked to the Secret Chiefs or Holy Guardian Angels in some way - some by receiving their grimoires or knowledge, some by allowing one to reside in their body, and some by controlling them. }}

Plans and Rules: {{Scroll box|

Tyrant Alice
When Aradia was guiding Anna Sprengel through their base in an introduction to the group, she told her she was free to do what she wanted, so long as she followed a simple rule - to not upset Alice. As if simply explaining what she saw as a basic universal law and perfectly reasonable, she advised Anna against the contrarian urge of a magician to do something they were told not to do, not to restrict them or test their courage but out of legitimate concern, saying that there was no point in listing and comparing specifications, and that she could not defeat Alice on a more fundamental level. She also alluded to an incident where Alice got upset and start throwing her things around, somehow leading to water and traces of life on a planet dozens of light-years away which was subsequently discovered and being talked about by the public, describing reality as fickle. Alice was described as pure and innocent but capricious, cruel and violent, such that no one could predict what she would do next. If Alice wanted something (such as a giant duck), the brilliant magicians in the group would gather, plan and make it, as though critically important regardless of its actual nature. Prioritizing Anna greeting Alice, Aradia said that if Alice gave permission for Anna to stay, the others would not take issue, but also said not to think that she could avoid detection if she did.

Killers and Rescuers
On December 29th, on the suggestions of newcomer Anna Sprengel, Alice visited Kamijou Touma. Her time with him resulted in a change in her which was detrimental to the cabal's plans. The group became divided over how best to address the issue, and as a result became split into two factions; the Killers (殺害派) and the Rescuers (救出派).

The Killers simply wanted to kill the source of the change in an effort to return Alice to normal as soon as possible. The Rescuers wanted to keep Touma alive, at least for the time being, and monitor the situation, deeming it too risky to eliminate him as they didn't know how his death might influence Alice.

Aradia and Trismegistus were on the side of the Killers, while Good Old Mary and the Bologna Succubus sided with the Rescuers. Alice was kept in the dark and didn't learn about the Killers until Touma accidentally let it slip on January 2nd.

Anna Sprengel herself, having instigated the situation, did not side with the Rescuers or the Killers. By the time of January 2nd, the cabal had decided to execute Anna (at the time sealed away by Anna Kingsford and in the custody of Aleister Crowley) for her betrayal,  with Shrink Drink spiritual items, intended to diminish a Transcendent, prepared and granted to the cabal's execution specialist, Mut Thebes. }}

Known Members


Relocate and rework into Chronology:

Having been inactive for over a century due to her body being stolen]] until December in the current year, Anna had come into contact with the group (Aradia at the very least) in some way prior to the destruction of R&C Occultics (which she had created as a disposable pawn and acted as CEO for) on December 26th, and was being guided around the group's base on December 29th in an introduction. After causing trouble in the cabal with her manipulations involving Alice and Kamijou Touma, she was sealed by Anna Kingsford on December 31st.

Trivia: {{Scroll box|

Trivia

 * It should be noted that a similar yet different term has been used previously to refer to certain other powerful beings, such as Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass, Great Demon Coronzon, and the Secret Chiefs, referred to as transcendent beings (超越存在).
 * Aleister Crowley would later deduce that the Transcendents were all connected to the Secret Chiefs in some way.

}}
 * In the afterword of , Kamachi Kazuma mentioned that he designed Aradia, the Bologna Succubus and Good Old Mary so one could compare them and make good guesses about the average and basic specifications of the standard Transcendents. He also suggested that after such a comparison, it might be fun to imagine how extraordinary Alice was compared to them for what she did, and what the difference was between a standard Transcendent who could use their charisma to start a cult or riot and Anna Sprengel who created a giant IT company to mess with the world.
 * Additionally, he mentioned how compared to a Magic God, who would be satisfied in creating their ideal world on their own, one could see how the Transcendents had basically ed their diffusion and destruction skills, being capable of destroying everything with ease but being unable to remake it all afterwards, to their irritation. He added that this made them reluctant to play their one and only card when Othinus destroyed the world (as if they killed her in the Black World, they couldn't remake the world like she could) and they were caught up in it and killed as a result.
 * In the afterword of , Kamachi Kazuma mentioned how the Transcendents' idea of mechanically deciding to save anyone who meets their set conditions was the complete opposite of Kamijou Touma, who would reach out his hand even without a reason - something illustrated in the volume itself, in which Kamachi felt he focused more on what makes them unusual, having used examples in Volume 6 to give a baseline for their strength.
 * Kamachi also mentioned, after talking about healer Good Old Mary and her differences compared to Heaven Canceller, that since the cabal was a gathering of Transcendents who carry tremendous destructive power but whose bodies weren't necessarily sturdy enough to withstand that power, that he thought they would have more accidents than a regular magic cabal, and considering Mary's subsequent value to the group.

Good Old Mary
{{Scroll box|

Personality
Mary tends to refer to herself in the third-person as 'mama' (ママ様).

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Good Old Mary is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own. She has been described as possessing alchemical skill and note compilation techniques that can produce seeming miracles on the same level as her namesake, and she has described herself as being able to create a small universe in a clear box, and make use of any and all recipes.

The versatility of Mary's alchemy allows her to act as an all-round, capable of attacking, defending, healing, supporting and more, with minimal preparations. However, her tools are vulnerable in close-quarters combat. (Ranking) Outside of her alchemy, Mary is also a good cook. Like some other Transcendents, she uses 'common tone creation' to translate and synthesize her speech into unfamiliar languages.

Alchemy
Mary's alchemical method to create a small universe inside a clear vessel allows her to turn the area in her immediate proximity, within a radius of several meters from her body, into her own territory (her kitchen, so to speak) and induce a variety of phenomena within it. The kitchen-type tools attached to her toolbelt are spiritual items which act as the materials for her spells, with her method as a magician using spiritual items to produce magic having the image of a cook using cooking utensils to make meals. She can activate her magic without any preparations like chanting a spell or setting up her spiritual items, (Ranking) such while standing still and not touching her tools.

For offensive attacks, Mary can generate multiple loud explosions, capable of bending the metal double doors on the back of a shipping container and blowing one off, as well as incapacitating the individuals within without damaging the nearby equipment. Some of her other specific attacks include lava erupting from the ground (地面から噴き出す溶岩), a large dump-shaped mass (ダンプ形状の大質量) and a giant iron ball used in demolition work (解体工事等で使う巨大鉄球). (Ranking) For defense, she can produce barriers in the form of an invisible wall. (Ranking) Using steam/vapor, she can render herself invisible. (?) (Ranking)

The tools on her belt include a fancy Swiss multi-tool, a portable pot with a collapsible handle, a small burner usable as a stove, and a sandwich toaster, in addition to a knife with a seal mascot on it.

Resurrection Recipe
Among Mary's repertoire is a Resurrection Recipe (復活の調合法), apparently linked to an alchemical formula lost in the 1st or 3rd century. It repairs a dead human body to a clean, uninjured state at the moment of cardiac arrest. Although it completely heals the body, it has a great cost, it cannot directly bring back the soul, the patient will still require CPR, and it does not return lost blood. It has been described as a purely medical phenomenon that may look like a miracle but only affects the physical body.

If a target has lost too much blood then they won't be able to be revived - their heart will not beat, the mind will not restart and they will not breathe on their own, leaving just an intact hunk of flesh which will slowly begin to rot. Depending on the amount of blood lost, a blood transplant or the injection of a suitable substitute to stabilize blood pressure, and keeping the target ready for resuscitation with any necessary measures, might allow for a target that would otherwise be impossible to be revived to be saved.

There is a limit to how many times the technique can be used to revive a person and if it is repeatedly used, a rejection reaction can occur, reducing its effectiveness. In the case of Kamijou Touma (so far revived three times), his Imagine Breaker needed to be severed each time to prevent it from intervering with the resurrection, increasing the blood loss.

Transcendence
Like many other Transcendents in the Bridge Builders Cabal, Mary can release a seal in order to draw on power transcending that of regular humans, with an incantation involving the declaration of "Risk 4" (リスク4) and "departing human territory" (人域離脱). In the case of Mary, this power is in the form of spatially-sealed giant experimental equipment (実験器具), sealed in space/sealed perfect universe with, and the nature of her seal is the First/One Seal (一なる封印).(Axiom-related?)

During the battle at the consulate, Mary summoned the Jōryū-ki (Toribikosu), a three-necked distillation flask, larger than a domed stadium, with the legs alone the size of a steel tower. With the insides of the flask pulsing as though alive, it spits out death and destruction from within as an attack (possibly toxic gas or a mass of cosmic energy).

Aside from the Tribikos, she also has the Kanryū Sōchi (Kerotakisu) and Hoon nabe (Banmari). }}

Etymology
Trismegistus, specifically ("Thrice-Great") - syncretized from the Greek  (H) and the Egyptian  (T), is a legendary figure whose attributed works form the basis of Hermeticism.

The initials before Trismegistus are derived from the first letters of either the syncretized deities behind Hermes Trismegistus (the default above) or the deities he is currently invoking.

Appearance
Trismegistus is a black-haired man, described as looking like a gloomy young butler. He wears an old-fashioned black coat with a brown lining, a light blue tailcoat,   a white inner shirt, a brown cravat, dark grey trousers, white gloves,  black shoes and triangular brimmed hat. He also has a black cane, less than a 1m long, hiding a sword.

Personality
Trismegistus is calm, meticulous, polite and humble on the surface, acting as a butler to Alice Anotherbible, calling her his 'beloved' master (afraid of her anger as a tyrant in his heart) and himself merely a servant. However, he is also ruthless against any obstacles or threats, and if he determines something to be a dangerous element, he will immediately move to eliminate it without holding back. He follows what he believes to be "common sense" and that the Transcendents should deal salvation evenhandedly.

Trismegistus has a tendency to include "commmon sense says" or similar variations in his speech.

Background
The legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus ("Hermes Thrice-Great"), a syncretization of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, was the attributed author of works such as the Hermetica, which form the basis of Hermeticism.(Ref) Besides the influence of Hermeticism (and thus Trismegistus) on the Golden Dawn (a.k.a. the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn),(Ref) aspects tied to Trismegistus are also present in Thelema and Magick, with Hermes and Thoth are equated in Aleister Crowley's occult dictionary Liber 777,  as well as Thoth's name being used for the Thoth Tarot and the Egyptian god of writing also being associated with the Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass.

As for the Transcendent Trismegistus, his exact background before and after joining the Bridge Builders Cabal is currently unknown.

Post-Handcuffs Arc
When Aradia was guiding Anna around their base, she prioritized introduction to Alice, saying that Trismegistus could wait. After the events surrounding the crash of the Overhunting, as well as the battle in the Vanishing Tunnel, Alice was brought back from Academy City by Anna. Greeting Alice upon her return, H. T. Trismegistus and the others in the group were shocked and dismayed to find that Alice's newfound interest in Kamijou Touma had swayed her from using her magic to benefit their plans.

Trismegistus and Old Good Mary accompanied Alice when she went to greet Kamijou Touma as he and others were making their New Year's Day shrine visits in School District 12. During the encounter, he dissuaded Shokuhou Misaki from peering inside Alice's mind.

On January 2nd, Trismegistus greeted Alice when she brought Touma's group to the consulate, cleaning mud from her clothes and beginning to prepare some games to amuse her for when she showed the guests around her new secret base. After briefly facing Alice's wrath when Touma inadvertently told her about the Killers, Trismegistus explained how they were planning to execute Anna Sprengel for her betrayal.

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Trismegistus is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on his own.

Trismegistus is capable of producing various items from thin air in a manner resembling that of a stage magician, as well as making them disappear again. Whether this involves storage compartments hidden within his cloak is unknown. Items he has produced include cleaning tools and a long, narrow adult-sized coffin with slits for stabbing swords into.

Trismegistus wields a Shikomizue (仕込み杖), disguised as an ordinary black walking cane less than 1m long. When using the sword, Trismegistus simply rapidly unsheathes it from its scabbard and slashes, in the manner of or. Trismegistus doesn't need to hit his target with the blade, as it produces a projectile slash when unsheathed, with cleaves through obstacles in its path, with a range of at least 10m. The slashing attack (斬撃) is extremely fast and difficult to avoid. In addition, the attack's direction is not always straight and can be changed. Glass and similar materials can also be used to diffusely reflect the attack. With his seal released, Trismegistus can add other phenomena, such as fire, water, light, crystals etc, to his slashing attacks, allowing him to produce blasts, bombs, water jets and more in addition to cutting.

Seal Release
Like many other Transcendents in the Bridge Builders Cabal, Trismegistus can release a seal in order to draw on power transcending that of regular humans, with an incantation involving the declaration of "Risk 4" (リスク4) and "departing human territory" (人域離脱). In the case of Trismegistus, this power is in the form of 'one thrice greater' (三倍も偉大なる者) and the nature of his seal is an uncountable/countless seal (数なき封印).

By invoking the names and imbuing the powers of two existing gods into his right and left hands, Trismegistus forms a from his hands (the invoked gods) and his main body (himself) to temporarily evolve his own power into that of a new, false creator god (偽装創作神). When doing this, his initials change to reflect the deities whose power he is channelling, such as Hermes (H), Thoth (T), Zeus (Z), Indra (I), Odin (O) and Mercurius (M). Depending on the combinations of these gods, the characteristics of his magic (e.g. fire, light, crystals etc) change.

Trivia

 * Items which Trismegistus has produced from his pockets or out of mid-air besides the coffin, include a leather notebook, a heavy load of movie pamphlets and TRPG rulebooks, a handkerchief, detergent, a dryer, an iron, and a leather jacket.

Etymology
(meaning "mother" in ancient Egyptian) is a mother goddess and primal deity associated with the primordial waters of Nu, often said to have been the husband of the solar creator god and mother of the lunar god. She was a patron deity of, Egypt's capital city and site of the , where the three were worshipped as the.

Appearance
Mut Thebes looks to be a skinny girl of about 15, with long wavy blonde hair and brown skin, wearing thin belts and pure gold ornaments.

Personality
Matching the symbolism of a mother protecting her children or a queen protecting her people, Mut Thebes will apparently do whatever it takes to protect her decided territory, currently the Bridge Builders Cabal.

Background
Mut Thebes's exact background before and after joining the Bridge Builders Cabal is currently unknown.

Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
On January 2nd, Mut Thebes was present when Alice brought Kamijou Touma's group to the cabal's newly established consulate in School District 12, as Trismegistus told the boy of their intent to execute Anna Sprengel for her betrayal.

Abilities
As a Transcendent of the Bridge Builders Cabal, Mut Thebes is said to be powerful enough to rival the regular magic side on her own. Besides her roots in Egyptian Mythology, she apparently specializes in punishment and execution, and has been called an expert in executing Transcendents.

One tool for executing Transcendents, which she was lent for dealing with Anna Sprengel, is the Shrink Drink (矮小液体)(verify any kana), a spiritual item derived from Alice in Wonderland. It takes the form of 150cm long spears, probably javelins given their length and likely reach, with glass spearheads containing a fluorescent pink liquid and the words "Drink Me" engraved on the shafts. In the story, the drink physically shrank the imbiber, and the Shrink Drink is intended to similarly diminish a Transcendent by weakening them and taking away their power, in a similar manner to the Fairy spell used on Othinus. Given its nature, Alice Anotherbible likely had a hand in its creation.
