The Howl
The Howl is the The Free Jackals sorcery and wizardry unit. Currently headed by Candle under the command of Senior Officer Slate, The Howl has a long history of powerful magic users lending their skills to the many qualities the Jackals bring to the battlefield. Originally started as a way to identify powerful artifacts recovered by the Jackals in their many contracts, the group quickly become a formidable force of battle magic in its own right, and has been instrumental in many of the Jackals' greatest victories.
Structure
The organizational structure is intertwined with that of the The Free Jackals. It is headed by a specific Junior Officer, under whom are gathered a number of other members with varying degrees of leadership in the Howl which corresponds to their position within the Jackals as a whole. For instance, someone may be promoted to the equivalent of Corporal because of their work within the Howl, which still gives them authority in pitched battle that belies their rank, even though their direct subordinates may not be present. That being said, outside of active battle, they exist within their command structure and follow those rules. Members may be also be transferred in and out of units and even back to the greater Jackals as a whole. Membership in the Howl is both a job and a specialization: Members are expected to still perform and practice all regular duties of a Jackal in their day-to-day life (there are no pure paper-pushers, for instance).
