There are all kinds of organizations that may or may not exist, that have existed in the passage you use. The Knights Templar come to mind immediately. Add to that the Knights of Malta, the Teutonic Knights, the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, and you got the beginning of an interesting conspiracy. What about the Assassins, throw in some Freemasons with their connection to various government officials and agencies in the past, what about J Edgar Hoover? That individual I can easily see being part of an anti-supernatural agenda, and what about scientists.
Science, considering how it acts around magic, could easily be used as a rallying cry for rationality versus magic. Maybe Tesla was this organizations weapons designer and greatest martyr. In fact from this organization's point of view the actions of Kemmler were an attack by the magical community versus the non-magical community. From this organization's point of view Kemmler might be how they view all wizards to be. Also may be the wizards and other supernaturals have corrupted the various governments, controlling the human politicians to further the supernatural creatures goals.
There is all kinds of ways this organization could play out, how do you see it? Racial purity, ideological purity, scientific/rational purity all these or one of these could easily make a starting point for this group.
