Category:Black Watch Militiaman

Black Watch Militiamen served as an elite unit of the Chateaufaux militia. In theory they were to assure public safety in Chateaufaux. Their leader was believed to be Captain Domini Tisiphanes. But he was secretly murdered and replaced subsequent to the Great Upheaval by an impostor who was in fact a devil. The head of the town, Mayor Henri Melano, was likewise replaced by a devil. Once in place, the pair set about corrupting the local population. The Blackwatch was created. It was constituted through the promotion of the most corrupt of the extant members who were little better than thugs. Black Watch militiamen seized, beat, and murdered citizens in the streets on the thinnest of legal pretexts. Those citizens who were incarcerated were never seen again. Fortunately, the reign of madness and terror instituted by the devils did not last long and the roles of captain of the militia and mayor were quickly placed back in human hands. A state-wide gendarmerie has since superseded the role of the Chateaufaux militia which is presumed to have been dissolved. The Black Watch itself was either dissolved with it or was dissolved years earlier with the oustering of the imposters.
