Very true. To be frank, my chief concern is discipline. Having a Templar deciding and issuing disciplinary action to mages is a situation that the Inquisition should be very wary of encouraging if they wish to maintain their alliance with the rebels. As is a Templar being solely responsible for the discipline of fellow Templars. Your own record may be clean, but the Order's history when it comes to handling these matters fairly is...terrible.
The Inquisition must, too, retain its alliance with the Order.

And when you and I disagree, a vote of the other Division Heads? Very well. Enemy prisoners I am content to leave in your hands; I've no wish to claim magisters or Venatori as my own. The rest I suspect are bridges we can cross when we come to them.
Is there more that you would expect of me in this post than what we've discussed?
'Voss' will do. I think we both know how much value I place on the institutions that gave me that title. It has its uses in public diplomacy, but it would be hypocritical of me to require its use in the day-to-day.
