The Grail is a fictional secret society from the comic book Preacher.
The Grail are privy to the secret that Jesus Christ did not in fact die on the cross in Jerusalem but escaped to France where he and Mary Magdalene raised children and lived for many years until he was struck down in by an offal cart.
The Grail has protected the holy lineage of Christ for 2,000 years allowing his descendants to only procreate with each other.
They have over the centuries come to manipulate the governments of the world, mainly through intimidation. It is known that the personal bodyguards, friends and close employees of many if not all world leaders are actually leading double lives as agents of The Grail and are prepared to manipulate (and if necessary kill) their charges should they step out of line. These leaders are aware of th eexistence of The Grail and the constant threat to themselves and their loved ones stops them from stepping out of line. The Grail are also responsible for many influential celebrities and members of counter culture. Thus, though they probably number less than 1,000 individuals they are able to direct the course of global events.
The ultimate goal of the Grail is to orchestrate the apocalypse. The plan was to lead the governments of the world to nuclear war which would be then miraculously stopped by their Messiah: The direct descendant of Christ.
Template:Spoilers The awaited messiah arrived as a retarded and malformed child, the son of a brother and sister who were the inbred descendants of Jesus. The Grail had relied on the holy seed to keep the lineage pure but as Herr Starr put it: "Son of God or not, if you fuck your own sister nothing good can come of it."
Having witnessed the promised "messiah," Herr Starr, Sacred Executioner for the grail began to plot his own conspiracy to eliminate the boy and replace him with a messiah of his own choosing, one that could be manipulated. To this end he chose Jesse Custer. This mistake would bring not only Custer, Tulip O'Hare and Cassidy against The Grail but also The Saint of Killers causing a series of events that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the grail.
