Equilibrium

Equilibrium was the Illusive Man's simple response to what his goals were with the Triad. This vague word usage elluded to this simple mission statement of his has given rise to many speculations, which he simply dismissed without explanation. It was widely assumed among his organization that he referred to equilibrium as its simplest definition: balance. Even if this assumption was correct, his idea of balance was never explicitly known, and was often a topic of debate, given the Triad's history under his command.
