It was a title that attracted the ire and hatred of many, as they held great power and tremendous influence.

Their responsibilities included overseeing city-wide financial record-keepers, managing tax collectors, investing city funds and the distribution of salaries and regular pay. In addition, they made sure the Flaming Fist did note take more than its share of the taxes they collected.
