Steris likes Innate because she finds his motives and political record orderly, despite their different political positions. She encourages him to take Wax’s warning seriously.

Wax is assigned to protect the governor, despite discovering Innate’s corruption and questioning the value of defending him. He intends to see Innate face the courts rather than a mob.

As lord high constable, Aradel arrests Innate for corruption, exploitation of the city’s resources, and perjury. He publicly rejects the governor’s authority and calls for lawful civic action.
