The Knight Commander of the Brotherhood (KCB) was the leader of the Society of Envoys and the principle individual tasked with the education and retention of new members. Reporting directly to the Headmaster, the Knight Commander had an essential role in keeping Envoys on task and making sure new members were welcomed properly. He also worked with the various Clans and the Dark Council to ensure the successful preparation of new members. The Knight Commander helped to put the Brotherhood’s membership numbers in perspective through statistical analysis, finding problem areas and working to correct them.
