The Black Watch was an elite unit of the Chateaufaux militia. It was constituted through the promotion of the most corrupt of the extant members, members who were little better than thugs. The head of the town's militia, Captain Domini Tisiphanes, had been secretly replaced subsequent to the Great Upheaval by an impostor who was in fact a devil. The head of the town, Mayor Henri Melano, had likewise been replaced by a devil. Once in place, the pair had set about corrupting the local population. The Black Watch seized, beat, and murdered citizens in the streets on the thinnest of legal pretexts. Those citizens who were incarcerated were never seen again. Fortunately, the reign of madness and terror instituted by the devils did not last long and the roles of captain of the militia and mayor were quickly placed back in human hands. A state-wide gendarmerie has since superseded the role of the Chateaufaux militia, which is presumed to have been dissolved. The Black Watch itself was either dissolved with it or was dissolved years earlier with the ousting of the imposters.
