The Noteworthy Nine

The Noteworthy Nine are a group of senators in the Council of Averages series who live in the White's End home together in Washington, D.C.

History
Miles Kasher, upon being elected to the United States Senate in 1982, bought a disused hotel in Washington, D.C. known as "White's End."

Miles lived at White's End alone for nearly thirty years, with his wife and kids occasionally coming over to stay, until 2010 when Gen. John Wolfsohn won a seat in the Senate, and Miles allowed him to move in temporarily. This ended up turning into a permanent arrangement.

In 2012, new senators Sgt. Elsie Danielle Dixon and Leonard Harper joined the group. In 2014, Nic Hale joined, although as of the series he only lives at White's End part-time. Leighton Vaile and Lia Dykstra joined the group in 2016, followed by Mick Mills and Shabana Tirmizi in 2018.

Meg
The group own a Turkish Angora cat named Meg, who was adopted from a shelter by Leighton and Nic. The entire group love Meg and diligently care for her. They often squabble about which one of them Meg likes best, with Leighton and Nic claiming they are Meg's "parents," Miles noting that she sleeps in his room, and so on.

Alisa Melton
Alisa is Nic's girlfriend, and the rest of the group seem to like (or at least, tolerate) her. Leighton, Elsie, Lia and Shabana invite Alisa out on a girl's night with them, and the five seem to have a lot of fun.

Frank Dorsey
The group have varying opinions on Frank, ranging from Miles thinking he's a manipulative cheater to Lia thinking he's handsome and charming. They all act courteous towards him, as he is their coworker, regardless of their individual feelings.

P. Francis Rogers
The group detest Rogers and stand him up any chance they can. Some of them have unique personal grudges against Rogers in addition to the blanket hatred of him that they share. Their feelings towards him are mutual, as he wishes for them all to be removed from Congress, despite the fact that some of them are in his party.
