Order of Proctor Neman — Organization

Description

A rigidly hierarchical enforcement order within Traken’s Supreme Creator caste, operating as the judicial arm under the Keeper Nominate’s authority. Its members, including Proctor Neman, enforce decrees and execute summary judgments through direct command of Sanctum access and institutional control mechanisms. The order is revealed to be subtly corrupted by Melkur’s influence, exploiting Traken’s bureaucratic systems to consolidate power while nominally serving the Consulate’s stability. Its authority manifests through sealed sanctums, coercive summonses, and institutional resistance to external interference, positioning it as both a defender of order and an unwitting vehicle for systemic subversion.

Doctor explores desperate options with Adric’s plan

Their institutional identity—built on obedience—becomes a liability as their authority dissolves against an enemy they cannot see or challenge directly.
