==History and Overview==
TBA
==Command==
The CJA follows a 3 chains command line which follows Director, Commander and Vice-Commander in that order. However, there is also the director's advisory council which in theory may have more power than the commanders and even the director itself.
===Director===
The CJA's current director is Gabriel Durand, twin brother of the Dawnguard's commander Lisa Durand and son of the director of SHIELD, Nicholas Durand. As the director of the Knightguard he carries responsibility over the organizations direction, having close links with nation leaders, as well as having final say over any decision made by the commander. 
===Commander===
Christopher Reiss, the one responsible for the CJA's split to begin with. As commander he oversees day to day operations of the CJA, prioritizing certain targets as well as making covert plans.
===Vice Commander===
Isabella Reiss and the wife of Christopher. The most skilled special class investigator in the Knightguard. While she possesses the title of Vice Commander, her and her husband effectively operate as Co-Commanders.
==Investigators and Ranking==
The CJA operates similar to a military or law enforcement agency, with a strict system of rank designating an investigator's abilities and authority. Rank determines an investigators' level of responsibility, access to high-risk missions and high-rated targets, salary rate, and numerous other aspects of their career. The ranks are divided into two separate categories, designating whether an investigator is considered a senior investigator or a junior still considered in training. While senior investigators may be partnered together as necessary, junior investigators cannot be partnered with other inexperienced investigators.
When in squads, the authority as squad leader is held by the one with the highest rank while the position of vice-squad leader goes to the member with the second highest.
===Senior Investigators===
*Special Class Investigator: The highest possible rank, achieved by the smallest percentage of investigators. They are considered the strongest of all investigators, and typically command operations as well as oversee the daily running of their assigned wards.
*Associate Special Class Investigator: The second highest rank, achieved by a small percentage of investigators. They possess the authority to command operations or oversee individual wards as necessary.
*First Class Investigator: The lowest rank to be considered a senior investigator, with most investigators achieving this rank later in their career. It is typical for an investigator to retire at this rank, and their responsibilities are typically training a junior partner. Very few investigators move beyond this rank, and reaching it before their thirties is considered the mark of an exceptional investigator.
===Junior Investigators===
*Rank 1 Investigator: The highest rank for a junior investigator, having gained experience but not yet at the peak of their career. On average, Rank 1 investigators are around twenty-seven years old when they are promoted.
*Rank 2 Investigator: This is the rank at which almost all CJA investigators begin their career, after graduating from the SHIELD training academy.
