Adder's Adjutant is one of five bureaucratic positions unique to Clan Star Adder. Four were created by the Clan's founder Absalom Truscott at the Clan's inception: Adder's Adjutant, Naval Adjutant, Intelligence Adjutant, and Logistics Adjutant. Another, Defense Adjutant, was created by Khan Tomas Banacek in the 29th Century. Khan Truscott embraced the intricacies of running the Clan military and created the positions to give the warriors assigned to them a taste of the skills needed to command. Officers are routinely moved between them and are elected from a small group of frontline Cluster and Galaxy commanders. Often, the Khan finds a protégé among the group and unofficially encourages their ascension through the upper echelon of the Clan. The Adder's Adjutant is the only position among the five that reports directly to the Khan.[1]
The Adder's Adjutant is responsible for dealing with the day-to-day administation of the Clan's civilian population. The Star Adders, like the rest of the Clans, give the lower castes almost no direct say in the goings on of the Clan, but Khan Truscott recognized the important roles they play and gave them a mouthpiece with the Khan's ear.[1]
