* [[The Pale Lady]] is the representative of [[The Ferryman]]. A target of frequent assassination attempts, it only made sense to appoint her to an office that came with the bonus of the protection of the Great Serpent's truce. She oversees fair trade and the collection of the Hours' tithe. However, with compassion uncharacteristic to a Long -let alone a long of the Dolomedes- contribute the lion's share of the tribute owed to her to charitable causes, foremost among them maintaining the temples of the [[The Anvil]] and [[The Maker]]. It is for her past and her continued good deeds she is one of the most popular minsters, despite her current master.
* [[The Cuckoo]] is represented by the Skin-Tailor, a massive humanoid insect. In his mortal life, he was a charlatan and social climber that enjoyed leeching off the fame and status of others. The Tailor continues this trend by being at the foreground of the city's fashion and fine dining crowds. He's also a honest, upstanding investor who has aided in the startup of numerous businesses around the First City. Pay no mind to the fact most of those businesses were eventually revealed to be scams. No one can prove he was in any way aware of that fact. No one alive, that is.
* [[The Engine of Cycles]] is represented by the Mark 2 Version of the Humanoid Interaction Module. The Engine is change, improvement and upgrade, and not even it is exempt from its own power. One day, it hopes this will be part of it. For now, this vat-grown cyborg represents the Engine in Shesha. When it came, it was awkward, functioning as a stereotypical robot in social interactions, but its nature built into it by its creator and the thing it would replace was to grow and learn. Now, it smiles, and it thinks, and it schemes and it plots and it speaks with so charming a tongue! Surely something like this would never be an appendage of something hostile
