An Adjutant is a neutral third-party consultant and referee for Ninth Floor Faction Wars teams.[1]

Description

Each Faction has an adjutant, who in turn has open communications with other teams' adjutants. Their participation is generally symbolic; they are typically flashy, famous characters like Odette who are there to give a running commentary to viewers during their daily, on-air recaps.[1][2]

Adjutants have access to the expanded ruleset and limited ability to call out rule violations, although their behavior is heavily policed by the System AI.[3] While they are physically on the battlegrounds and can accompany the Warlords into battle, Zev believes that all adjutants are constantly under an invulnerability spell.[1][2]

Adjutants must pass a referee exam to be eligible.[3]
