Dorthiya Tessell
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Dorthiya Tessell is the Arch-Maintenancer of the Knight World Dominion's Sacristan.[1b]
History
While it contains the rival Houses Stryder and Rau, the Sacristans are apolitical and serve both equally. The Knight World is also ruled by a single High Monarch and the Houses' high ranking Nobles each have a vote, when a successor is chosen. Their votes are equal in number, but Dominion's Arch-Maintenancer get to vote as well. As each House will vote for a candidate that favors them, it is often the Arch-Maintenancer's swing vote that will decide the next High Monarch. This ability has allowed Dominion's Sacristans to prevent civil war from breaking out on the Knight World on numerous occasions.[1a]
