What it is
In the comics, a standing group — Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Professor X, Namor, Black Bolt, Doctor Strange — that hid the Infinity Gems, exiled the Hulk and made every incursion decision in secret. The MCU has so far only shown one from another universe, and killed all of them in a single scene.

From the comics
They are the reason the multiverse ends
Formed after the Kree–Skrull war to stop the next catastrophe by deciding things privately. Hickman's run puts them in front of the incursions and watches good men agree, one issue at a time, to destroy inhabited Earths — the road that ends at Secret Wars.
