The Emperor's Fingers
The saying goes "If you can't beat them join them"; this is the methodology by which the Emperor's Fingers formed for the most part. Whether they be assasins, engineers, beast tamers, a golem of fantastic power, or a legion of some of the finest soldiers all call themselves by this lauded title.
Requirements
An organization must prove itself to be so drastically powerful that it even if relatively small can destroy great armies.
Appointment
The emperor dismisses the head of one of the organizations that make up the emperor's fingers and replace them with the head of the new organization. This is usually done with an ornate ceremony with some mark of rank presented.
Duties
To serve directly beneath the emperor, you answer to no one else unless ordered to by the emperor.
Responsibilities
Usually military action of some measure though each group has its own responsibilities. The forge is constantly seeking to improve and better their technology and spread it throughout the rest of the empire. The Tribe has the goal of keeping the tarrasque and other dangerous monstrosities contained or controlled. The Nightdaughters act as the emperor's spies, assassins, and guards.
Benefits
Generally they are granted more political power, money, and advanced weaponry then other branches of the military. But only just a bit as they don't really need it.
Accoutrements & Equipment
When attending gatherings held by the emperor they are expected to bring an empty weapon holster of some kind and to wear the symbol of Inley somewhere on your person.

You can pretty much only be removed if you fail so spectacularly that you are all but extinct or useless. Or if someone who does your job better than you is found.
