Damocles, though, has pretty much reached the top of his career arc. Once the Tyrant has taken you into the palace and deigned to feed you, there’s not a whole lot of room for further advancement. Everything else is pretty much determined by birth, or coup d’etat. Damocles doesn’t have the birth, and if a coup d’etat came Damocles would probably get snuffed first thing for being a loudmouth intellectual.
