Okay, so am I high or crazy, or blind, here?

 

I see a lot of people sporting titles like 'Operative' or 'Hunstman' or whatever on their Soldiers, which I dig, but I can't seem to find any information on what each specific title is or what makes it different from the others.  I vaguely remember there being some resource with that info, but danged if I can find it now.

 

So question is

Operative

Huntsman

Poobah

Head Cheese

etc

Stuff I Made Up

 

Is there any lore rhyme or reason to some of these in terms of duties or privileges, and is there any place that lists such?  Thanks!

If you check the info on the character type, you'll usually see what the title means. Arbiters are Judge/Jury/Executioners for the Rogue Isles. Operatives are field agents of Arachnos and can be any mob type.

People mostly do it for flavor for their Arachnos archetypes. They grab titles from existing NPCs to use for characters that are technically rank and file. Most of the titles are poorly defined if at all, so generally don't read too much into it. It's just better to be 'Arbiter Cross' than 'Bob, the Arachnos guy'.

I actually teamed with a "Bob from Arachnos" not long ago. Nice guy.

This is ultimately the answer I was casting around for, thank you.  I've seen the Arbiters, the Operatives and others, but I've also seen Strike-Captains, Captains, etc.  Was wondering if the community had set up some sort of unofficial classification.  Thank you!  I think unless anybody else has anything to add tangentially, this resolves my dilemma well enough.
