[[File:Enlightened_Motto_Logo.png|thumb|180x180px|left|{{Enlightened Colour|'''The {{Enlightened}}''' seek to harness the power of [[Exotic Matter|{{Enlightened Colour|Exotic Matter}}]] to evolve mankind to a higher level.}}]]

The '''{{Enlightened}}''' ('''{{Enlightened|ENL|logo=no}}''', colloquially known as '''''{{Enlightened Colour|frogs}}''''') is one of the two factions in ''[[Ingress]]'', represented {{green}} within the [[Scanner]]. The {{Enlightened}} view [[XM]] as a gift. Destiny. A way for Humanity to reach a new state of being through its mind-enhancing properties. They desire to {{green|EVOLVE}} humanity.

==Overview==
Contrary to the beliefs of the {{Resistance}}, the {{Enlightened}} believe that the [[Shaper|Shapers]] have existed since the beginning of mankind and are the reason for mankind's progress from the Stone age into the modern era. The {{Enlightened}} seek to progress mankind along its evolutionary path through art, music, science, and education. They favour '''''progress''''' and believe that the [[Exotic Matter]] ({{XM}}) could shape the future of humanity and allow it to reach its full potential.<sup><ref name=":0">[https://www.youtube.com/user/ingress/videos Ingress Video]: "[https://youtu.be/lN790amuld0 Welcome to Ingress]" (05.

In their mind [[Exotic Matter]] ({{XM}}) is the path to epiphany, elevation and enlightenment.<sup><ref name=":1">[https://www.youtube.com/user/ingress/videos Ingress Video]: "[https://youtu.be/RJ52YyG4BJQ Ingress Prime - Out Now]" (05.

Due to the difference in perspective over the  [[Shaper|Shapers]] and their motives, and the appropriate utilisation of [[Exotic Matter]] ({{XM}}), the {{Enlightened}} and the {{Resistance}} exist in a perpetual state of conflict on Earth.

==History==
[[File:Enlightened_Logo.png|frameless|293x293px|right]]

Founded by [[Roland Jarvis]], a sculptor and former member of the [[Niantic Project]]. [[Roland Jarvis|Jarvis]] was part of the team that created a hacked version of the [[Scanner]] to make neutral {{XM}} (white colour) turn into {{Enlightened}} {{XM}} ({{green}} colour).<ref name= "Niantic Project Wiki">[https://niantic.schlarp.com/investigation:characters:roland_jarvis Investigation/Characters/Roland Jarvis — Niantic Project Wiki]</ref>

==Team Ownership==
All [[Portal|Portals]], {{Link|s}}, and {{Control Field}} that are under {{Enlightened}} control will appear with glowing {{green}} {{XM}} in the [[Scanner]]. Upgrading [[Portal|Portals]], regardless of who owns it, benefits the entire team and makes the opposing faction have to use more gear.
