The Council of Nine is the ruling body over the world of Imaginationland. It was featured in the Season Eleven story arc "Imaginationland, Episode II and "Imaginationland, Episode III".

Background

The Council of Nine references the Greek Gods' own Council of Twelve. Instead of Greek gods, this organization is made up of characters from modern fictitious literature and films. The Council headquarters is located at Castle Sunshine.

Butters Stotch is called upon by the council to be the "key" and save the worlds imaginations from the "terrorists". Being a reluctant a hero, Butters tries to run away from his duties. Aslan the Lion gives him a boost of confidence and teaches him how to conjure up the defenses to defeat the terrorists with his imagination.

The Council appear as a figurine set in Butters' closet. Only Gandalf the Grey is missing from the set.

Trivia

  • It's ironic that both Aslan and Jesus are members of the council. According to C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan is actually a form of Jesus Christ.
