As the head of the clerks and couriers in the Civic Center, Harncourt Augustus is effectively in charge of the day-to-day operations of the city. He takes this job very seriously, and since his employment efficiency has increased ten-fold. A mountain of a man, The General was, once, an actual general in the Prince's Royal Army, leading by example at the head of his own tank battalion.
When the city has a crisis, such as the Great Fire of 1077, or in times of conflict, such as the subsequent Scrabbler's Assault of 1078, The General is at the head of the effort, his presence a beacon of hope for the city.
Most people don't know his real name, and just refer to him by his title, up to and including the Governess and most of the other nobility of the city.
