High Table (John Wick)

The High Table is an organization that features in John Wick.

History

The High Table was an internationally based organization consisted of crime lords that oversaw the criminal underworld.

Santino and Gianna D'Antonio's father held a seat within the Table, and named Gianna his successor before his death. Santino, craving the power for himself, orders John Wick to kill Gianna as per conditions of fulfilling the marker he made with John. After Gianna's death, Santino immediately took her place within the High Table and ordered his right-hand woman Ares and many of his men to kill John to avenge his sister. However, John fought through and killed many of them before escaping, leaving Ares and a few others left. As a result, Santino placed a bounty of $7 million on Wick to cover his ties with Gianna's murder. However, John fights and kills several contract killers pursuing him. Santino holds a celebration at an art exhibit for his ascension to the High Table, where after a long gunfight chase across the museum, he proceeds to the Continental seeking sanctuary. However, John kills him inside there, despite Winston's words of warning.

As a consequence of killing Santino on Continental grounds, the High Table doubled the $7 million bounty on John and now offers it globally, in tandem with John's membership to the Continental being revoked. The High Table proceeds to dispatch an Adjudicator to adjudge those who helped John in killing Santino and escaping their judgment; Winston, who refused to kill Wick during the incident, the Bowery King who provided him with the Kimber 1911 gun and passage to Santino's location, and the Ruska Roma, for smuggling Wick out of New York. Winston and the Bowery King were given seven days to step down and cease operations, with the exception of the Ruska Roma, as the Director willingly served her punishment.
