Palace Guard Captain

The palace in Salike is used more as an embassy than a royal home. This is where visiting dignataries stay when visiting the city and as such it is neutral ground. Anyone visiting the palace immediately falls under the jurisdiction and protection of the Palace Guard. No one may take weapons into the Palace and no personal guards are allowed within the Palace walls.
The Guard are a completely neutral force, they adhere to a code and follow only the orders of their Captain. The Captain is responsible for all palace security and assigning duties to the members of the guard. They are answerable to the rulers of salike in event of dereliction of duty, but only follow the orders of the code. The capatain thus holds a unique position within Salike, as having complete autonomy over their job.
The Capatain is one of the few people in Salike that the leaders of the Institute show any kind of deference. The institute is not without it's share of enemies and is just as dependent upon the Palace gurards for protection as anyone else visiting the Palace.
The curent Captain is Captain Jacinth, She has held her position for over 40 years and is highly respected by the citizens of Salike. No one has ever lost their life whilst under her protection, at least from nefarious means: even Captain Jacinth is unable to save everyone from their own stupidity.
