The Master Hilarion, in the teachings of Theosophy is one of the "Masters of the Ancient Wisdom" and in the Ascended Master Teachings is one of the Ascended Masters (also collectively called the Great White Brotherhood). He is considered to be the Chohan (Lord) of the Fifth Ray (see Seven Rays).〔Leadbeater, C.W. ''The Masters and the Path'' Adyar, Madras, India: 1925 Theosophical Publishing House. Master Hilarion outlined on pages 238-239〕〔Luk, A.D.K.. ''Law of Life - Book II''. Pueblo, Colorado: A.D.K.

Some have believed that he was the Christian saint Hilarion.〔Prophet, Mark L. and Elizabeth Clare ''Lords of the Seven Rays'' Livingston, Montana, U.S.A.:1986 - Summit University Press - "Hilarion - Master of the Fifth Ray" pages 169 - 210〕 This is possible, since although the years Iamblichus, also known as Iamblichus Chalcidensis, (c. 245 - c. 325) was embodied overlap the lifetime of St. Hilarion (291 - 371), various traditions such as Hindu and Tibetan Buddhism hold that it is possible for the spiritually advanced to have more than one incarnation happening at the same time.〔The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume VII. New York: Robert Appleton Company. 1910〕 In October 1884 Helena Blavatsky made reference to Hilarion (using the spelling: "Hillarion"): :"''...an "Eastern adept, who has since gone for his final initiation," who had passed, en route from Egypt to Thibet, through Bombay and visited us in his physical body. Why should this "Adept" be the Mahatma in question? Are there then no other Adepts than Mahatma Koot Hoomi? Every Theosophist at headquarters knows that I meant a Greek gentleman, whom I have known since 1860''." On 20 February 1881 Kuthumi, in one of his letters to Sinnett, referred to him as :"''one of ours having passed through Bombay on his way from Cyprus to Tibet''". His travel to his "final initiation" is referred to in an entry in Henry Olcott's diary, dated 19 February 1881, written in Bombay: :"Hillarion is here en route for Tibet and has been looking over, in, and through the situation. Finds B– something morally awful. Views on India, Bombay, the TS in Bombay, Ceylon (––), England and Europe, Christianity and other subjects highly interesting."
