Dawn & Reign of X
During the events of House of X, Moira MacTaggert (mutant with ability to be reborn with knowledge of her previous lives) propelled Professor X and Magneto to create the island of Krakoa into the sovereign homeland for mutants. They designed the Quiet Council and Moira kept herself as hidden partner. She used her memories of how mutant nations failed in other timelines to not repeat the same mistakes.[18]
Unlike previous mutant nations of Genosha and Utopia, Krakoa invested heavily in developing and exporting medicine to the humans. Professor X and Magneto invited White Queen to join the council, along with her fellow Hellfire Club member Black King to facilitate Krakoa's economic activity. As per deal to join, White Queen also reserved the right to recruit a council member. White Queen requested Kitty Pryde for the position of Red Queen. After accepting her offer, Kate took initially undetermined seat in the council, where she oversaw the Marauders’ efforts to rescue mutants who cannot freely travel to Krakoa.[19]
Apocalypse also took his place among the council after promising to obey Krakoan law when Krakoa offered citizenship and amnesty to all of the world’s mutants.[20]
The Quiet Council assembled for the first time after Krakoa’s recognition by United Nations to govern the mutant nation; establish and interpret its laws; and determine its official policies on a broad range of topics. The council established the three laws that govern the nation: do not harm humans, respect the sacred land of Krakoa, and make more mutants. After being judged by the council, any mutant guilty of breaking those laws is to be sent to the Pit of Exile and held in a stasis deep within the island. Sabretooth was found guilty of killing humans and was made an example by the council after being thrown into the Pit.[21]
The council also sanctioned several groups like S.W.O.R.D.; the intelligence-gathering team X-Force; the mutant investigations team X-Factor; and the Hellions, a team of potentially dangerous and problem-causing mutants overseen by Mister Sinister.[22]
The council also voted not to resurrect many individuals who were not considered separate individuals due to being clones. This decision was overturned when the Five (mutants involved in Krakoa’s resurrection process) petitioned after unsanctioned resurrection of Wolverine's clone Gabby Kinney.[23]
At the end of X of Swords event, Marvel Girl left the council to reform the X-Men, needing to act without council's politics. Apocalypse left both Krakoa and the council to join his family in the Amenth but it also brought Arakko and its mutants to Earth. The council voted to approve Magneto’s plans to terraform Mars into the mutant majority planet to give them a permanent home, while also declaring it the capital of the Solar System.[24]
As a result, the precognitive mutant Destiny took over Apocalypse's seat on the council while Colossus took over Marvel Girl's seat.[25]
After Mystique resurrected her wife Destiny against Moira’s wishes, Professor X and Magneto revealed their relationship with Moira to White Queen, who felt betrayed. Mystique subsequently attacked and depowered Moira so she went on the run and started working against Krakoa. Although Moira’s role in Krakoa’s founding was kept hidden but the rest of the council learned about her involvement from White Queen.[18]
Destiny of X
Magneto retired from the council to Arakko. After voting, Hope Summers took over Magneto’s seat on the council so that she could represent the interests of the Five. Black Priestess, who was outvoted by Hope created a giant monster. The council successfully managed to kill Black Priestess, defeating the monster.[26]
White Queen informed the council about Doctor Statis, Mister Sinister's clone claiming to be the real Sinister, causing Mister Sinister to flee only to be captured briefly by Eternals. While Destiny informed them about upcoming conflict between the Avengers, X-Men and Eternals.
During the events of A.X.E.: Judgment Day, the secret of mutant resurrection went public and as expected the Eternals launched an attack on Krakoa. Eternals were eventually retreated from battle by Progenitor, who addressed that people of Earth will be judged. Red Queen and Exodus were judged positively while other council members were not judged or received receive negative judgment. As this event led to the creation of a destructive Celestial called the Progenitor, members of the council fought alongside the Avengers, X-Men, Eternals and even with anti-mutant organisation Orchis.
