The Council was composed of several of the eldest and most politically experienced members of Krypton's elite Houses and their dictations were respected by virtually all of Kryptonian society. During the war with Black Zero, the Ruling Council began making preparations in accordance to Rao's prophecy. To preserve their race, they used technology created by Jor-El and planned to take the blood of Krypton's strongest so clones could be created on another planet should Krypton be destroyed. Jor-El opposed these plans because he knew that Earth's Yellow sun would give the Kryptonians unimaginable power and the humans would not stand a chance against them if they were exposed to Red or Silver K or if they were to turn evil so Jor-El stopped the experiment before being summoned before the Council.

The Council agreed that Jor-El had committed an act of treason and sentenced him to death. Major Zod crashed the tribunal and pleaded that Jor-El's life be spared. The Council agreed, but only if Jor-El finished the experiment himself and included both his and Zod's blood samples in the Orb. At some point, Jor-El became a member of the Council himself, and was given a victory ring.
Rao's Prophecy
Rao's prophecy was a legendary Kryptonian prophecy written on the ancient Scrolls of Rao. The prophecy foretold a new beginning for the planet Krypton, stating that one Kryptonian would arise from the ashes of Krypton and start a new Kryptonian paradise. According to Zor-El and his disciple Augo, Rao's prophecy foretold the creation of Brainiac, Zod's defiance, and the corruption of the Ruling Council. Zor-El devoutly believed in Rao's prophecy, believing that it was his destiny to fulfill the prophecy. He fulfilled the prophecy through his own actions, using Brainiac to ignite Krypton's core.
Over the years, many Kryptonians attempted to fulfill Rao's prophecy and create a new Kryptonian paradise on Earth. Even Jor-El tried to convince Clark to re-populate Earth with "Kara of Krypton", a Kryptonian vessel designed to lure Clark into training. It is unknown if Jor-El genuinely desired to re-populate Earth, or if he merely had "Kara" attempt to seduce Clark as a ploy to begin his training and unite the Stones of Power. The symbol of Rao is a gold Kryptonian charm. Zod gave a symbol of Rao to Lois Lane while visiting her at Metropolis General Hospital. However, Clark returned it to Zod.
