• ex officio head of 24 councilors

24:5.3Within a lo­cal cre­ation the As­signed Sen­tinels serve in ro­ta­tion, be­ing trans­ferred from sys­tem to sys­tem. They are usu­ally changed ev­ery mil­len­nium of lo­cal uni­verse time. They are among the high­est rank­ing per­son­al­i­ties sta­tioned on a sys­tem cap­i­tal, but they never par­tic­i­pate in de­lib­er­a­tions con­cerned with sys­tem af­fairs. In the lo­cal sys­tems they serve as the ex of­fi­cio heads of the four and twenty ad­min­is­tra­tors hail­ing from the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds, but oth­er­wise, as­cend­ing mor­tals have lit­tle con­tact with them. The sen­tinels are al­most ex­clu­sively con­cerned in keep­ing the As­so­ciate In­spec­tor of their uni­verse fully in­formed on all mat­ters re­lat­ing to the wel­fare and state of the sys­tems of their as­sign­ment.

54:5.109. On Je­ru­sem the per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tive of Or­von­ton coun­seled Ga­briel to fos­ter full op­por­tu­nity for ev­ery liv­ing crea­ture to ma­ture a de­lib­er­ate choice in those mat­ters in­volved in the Lu­cifer Dec­la­ra­tion of Lib­erty. The is­sues of re­bel­lion hav­ing been raised, the Par­a­dise emer­gency ad­viser of Ga­briel por­trayed that, if such full and free op­por­tu­nity were not given all Nor­la­ti­adek crea­tures, then would the Par­a­dise quar­an­tine against all such pos­si­ble half­hearted or doubt-stricken crea­tures be ex­tended in self-pro­tec­tion against the en­tire con­stel­la­tion. To keep open the Par­a­dise doors of as­cen­sion to the be­ings of Nor­la­ti­adek, it was nec­es­sary to pro­vide for the full de­vel­op­ment of re­bel­lion and to in­sure the com­plete de­ter­mi­na­tion of at­ti­tude on the part of all be­ings in any way con­cerned there­with.
