The closest to a gubernamental link the Brotherhood seems to have is Ironwood and I get the impression he got initiated into the secret of the Maidens only when they needed Atlas technology to keep Amber alive. The Brotherhood is made of the different headmasters, which includes Ironwood (who also happens to have control of Atlas's millitary resources).
