What does "Praefectus Castrorum" mean in English?

[The Chairman]

As I recall, it means Commander of the Camps. In a roman legion, it was the third highest rank behind the tribune and the legate.

This is probably close to correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praefectus_castrorum

Yeah... I had to do a double-take the first time I ran an ITF way back when... I was like "Castrating who now??!"

And there are too many of them for the number of Cimeroran Traitors we encounter. But when you make it a mob-rank designation, rather than a role title, you're going to get things like that -- one of the shortcuts that the original devs took with Cimerora, along with kicking Roman naming conventions to the curb, although I expect that the formality of referring to others by their proper names fell out of general use after Cimerora was drawn off into the sea of time and isolated -- "N. Fabius Q. F. M. N. Furia Gnatus Maximus" (Numerius Fabius Maximus, son of Quintus, grandson of Marcus, born of Furia) would be too unwieldy to wave around in conversation, even when formally introducing the player to a new individual. I just toss it into the same pile of things that gnaw at me about the game but aren't really important enough to fix, like the problem with the buoys in the harbors.
