Adjutants

Adjutant

The show-appointed handlers attached to each warlord team, whose presence betrays their warlord's whereabouts.

Story so far

Three adjutants figure at The Reaver Castle: Tart, the antlered adjutant for the Reaver team, who arrived visibly with Baroness Victory and Drick; Fopsy, adjutant for The Dream, who arrived invisibly and was spotted only through Donut's Sunglasses; and the implication that where an adjutant goes, their warlord may not be far.

That inference is what turned the rescue into a suspected trap. With both Warlord Fang's and Epitome Tagg's adjutants on site, Carl concluded both hiding warlords might be present too and called Plan B.

Role
