Officers
Faction Officers
Faction officer rank carries a shared status screen, which is how Louis's capture is discovered.
Story so far
The officer corps that pushes into the Larracos College of Magic courtyard is entirely changelings, marked with Team Retribution indicators that keep Carl from mistaking them for a breakthrough.
The rank also comes with a mechanic that matters more than the muscle: Carl pulls up the officer status screen to check on Louis, finds him at full health, and drills into two status notifications — Paralyzed and Bound. Without the officer screen, nobody would have known Louis was alive at all.
Role
The rank structure providing both the assault's leadership and its casualty visibility.
Relationships
Louis — His officer status reveals his capture.
Juice Box — Leads the officer contingent.
Status Notifications — Displayed on the officer status screen.
