The High Table

The High Table is a group of the most powerful and influential members within the criminal underworld, often overseeing and controlling operations and enforcing rules. Think of it as a governing body that maintains order and makes critical decisions for their organization, similar to a board of directors in a legitimate company. Their authority comes from experience, reputation, and the respect they command within the community. In stories like "John Wick," the High Table represents an elite leadership that other members must answer to, ensuring stability and enforcing discipline within the organized crime world.
