K.O.M.E.T.

K.O.M.E.T. is the acronym for the Kasteban Office of Magical Enforcement Team, which is a group of seven individuals reporting directly to the Ipsissiumus of Kasteban who enforce the law on those who use magic to threaten the laws and peace of the city and realm.
They are dedicated to pursuing and apprehending, and if necessary battling magic users and other magical threats which abuse their powers by grossly breaking the law.
The office was founded in Kasteban as a private public service venture, as that city was plagued by larcenous magic users who organized to pull off bigger job and protect themselves  from other powerful wizards. 
There are seven agents in the team at any one time, the agents in the team at the time of The Balls of Menthonen, the first book they appear in are; K4: Idgarth "Cranky" Crankletim; K8: Burt Wankler; K11: Leslee Lavala; K17: Amphligore Dengalio; K27: Dino the Invisible Magic Ninja; K28: Mixie Masher; and K29: Dirk Stausage. The events of that book necessitate some new hiring.
As can be seen, agents are assigned consecutive numbers as they are hired. A recruit can be expected to serve about a year on average. Some go for days, some for years. It is a dangerous job, many of those who leave do so because of death or grevious injury. Those who last for a number of years gain considerable prestige in the city of Kasteban.
K.O.M.E.T., to their chagrin have served as the template to Delternas' magic enforcement team D.A.M.E.T.
