for making sure that no single faction member’s actions jeopardize the others. Therefore, the
Prefect must have some public relations savvy, as it is to him that the Prince inevitably turns
when a Carthian is suspected of some wrongdoing. While the Prefect carries considerable
sway among his confederates, he is not their leader in either name or truth. Most prefer the
relationship that way.
Myrmidon
The majority of incarnations of the Carthian experiment involve Kindred getting together
and democratically parceling out both feeding rights and potential dispute resolutions. As
such, the need quickly arises for an entirely “neutral party” to help maintain order. A Carthian
known as a Myrmidon fi lls this role. Although the Myrmidon works very closely with the
Prefect, he is not the Prefect’s “right-hand man,” despite appearances to the contrary. Rather,
he is the one who often acts as intermediary between two quarreling Carthians or between
a Carthian and a non-Carthian of no political importance. Given the Prefect’s duties to the
cause, the Myrmidon often ends up enforcing the Prefect’s duties, simply by virtue of the fact
that nobody else could do it without cry of foul.
