Handler

The Hander or Liason is arguably one of the most important positions within the government structure of the Ashed Confederacy. While not beholden to any one branch, the handler works with nearly every level of the government structures and works as a go between for the Ethics council and City council.
== Duties ==
=== City Council ===
The Handler organizes the City council meeting times to not interfere with guild business. Temporary task forces and department creation is directly overseen by this position. When the city decides on an action, they provide experts to see how the action is to be carried out, but the funds and command can only be accessed by the Handler.
* When not on duty the Handler is expected to walk the city learning all of its woes and inner workings from the ground level.
=== Ethics Council ===
The Ethics council defers directly to the handler when internal integrity or standards are in question. The handler is the de facto head of the Ethics council, however has them appoint leaders from within their own ranks.
* The Handler is effectively quality control on the Ethics council
=== The 14th Council ===
In the rare event that an immortal is to arrive at a city state and/or call a council meeting, it is the Handler's responsibility to verify that it is indeed the 14th Council through a brief physical examination.
The Handler is responsible for keeping the small apartment building above the council chambers clean and in good order should the 14th ever come to visit. In addition the Handler's job is to know nearly everything about the city to give a detailed and honest status report should the immortal ever check in.
* This is the primary reason for the position
* Some leaked papers from one handler contained a list of inns and restaurants in the outer districts marked "recommendations"
== Selection process ==
The Handler is directly selected by the 14th council upon the expiration of the previous one. This is rare as they are typically well taken care of and heavily guarded when not incognito.
The selection process and parameters are mostly unknown as the 14th completes this process personally as to avoid manufactured candidates. Many of them have a personality that makes them uniquely suited to the city they are in.
* A common trait many handlers seem to have is a noted lack of ambition or greed
* They tend to have a detached personality and a craving for knowledge and personal secrets.
* This personality type has been called an "observer"
