Elites

Elites are experienced Vindicator combatants who are trusted with special tasks. They do not hold rank over other Vindicators, but are recognized as experienced teachers and arbiters of peace.
Please note that Elites are a new rank that was only established after the Vindicator Mini Event.
Elite spots are competitive, but not subject to activity checks. 
== Overview ==
Elites are older, experienced Vindicators who have been with the faction for a long time, and are generally trusted and recognized as reliable members of the faction. They are usually promoted from the rank of Soldier, but may also have been Supporters. All elites excel at a specific task, whether it be combat, tracking, explosives or any other useful field.  Elites are a new rank, established to bring a sort of a “captain” character into the growing fold of the Vindicator army.
Elites do not hold rank over other Vindicators, and don’t have authority over them. They may be selected to lead specific missions, but they don’t hold power in daily life, and any attempts to wield power are likely to be met with disdain from the other Vindicators.
The main task of the Elites is to act as trainers and mentors for the Cadets. A new recruit is usually “paired” with a more experienced Vindicator for briefing, and often this task befalls the Elites. They offer practical lessons in useful skills to the Soldiers and Supports as well. 
Elites are guides, helpers and arbiters of peace. Their experience allows them to aid, comfort and support their fellow Vindicators.  On missions, they are usually entrusted leadership duties, or special tasks, such as mentoring and keeping Cadets safe.
Elites are also tasked with the general safety of the Vindicators. They keep tabs on members comings and goings, guard the perimeters of Vindicator controlled areas, and make it their business to know everyone who belongs to their faction. If someone is acting suspiciously, Elites are expected to report the issue to the Paladin.
Due to their experience, the Elites may be specifically consulted on matters that concern their expertise, and their opinions are generally held in high regard, even if they don’t have any more decision power than the others.
