Influence of the book Nine Unknown Men from Wikipedia:

The concept of the "Nine Unknown Men" was further popularized by Louis
Pauwels and Jacques Bergier in their 1960 book The Morning of the Magicians.
They claimed that the Nine Unknown were real and had been founded by the
Indian Emperor Ashoka. They also claimed that Pope Silvester II had met them
and that nineteenth century French colonial administrator and writer Louis
Jacolliot insisted on their existence.
The Nine Unknown were also the final dedicatees mentioned in the dedication of
the first edition of Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible in 1969.
"Nine Unknown Men" are referenced in some Indian novels, beginning with The
Mahabharata Secret, a 2013 novel written by Christopher C. Doyle, then in the
2015 novel Finders, Keepers.
The number nine is important in Heroes; Coliete and Pakaski have credited the
story of Ashoka and the Nine Unknown Men as one of the many influences for the
series and as a clue to the mystery surrounding the number.
