Feature: Military Rank
You have a military rank from your career as a Member of the Watch. Soldiers loyal to your former military organization still recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are of a lower rank. You can invoke your rank to exert influence over other Watch members and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use. You can also better gain pricing due to your time and rank within Suroodin's districts.
Suggested Characteristics
Watch agents are a diverse lot. Consider the Warden you serve and the type of work you do in developing or selecting characteristics.
