Graycloaks
Although one of the most religiously tolerant cities on Golarion, Absalom still sees interfaith conflict that sometimes spills out onto its streets. Temples and cultural icons dominate the Ascendant Court, so the Graycloaks most often investigate property crimes like vandalism and theft. They’re second only to the Learned Guard in their dedication to acquiring all the information they can before taking action, arranging elaborate sting operations to catch many criminals at once.
The Graycloaks have a relatively flat organizational structure. All assignments are handled by the captain, Runewulf the Unbeliever, or his immediate lieutenants. Graycloaks wear light-gray wool cloaks over their standard Absalom watch uniforms, often eschewing insignias and epaulets to blend into the crowd. Membership in the Graycloaks requires denying the divine authority of all deities so as to hold the laws of Absalom above the mandate of any religion. Most watch members are highly irreligious. A rare few harbor religious faith in secret, which they conceal to protect their jobs.
The Graycloaks’ public atheism ensures their impartial reputation in conflicts between believers. However, they’re sometimes suspected of corruption by believers who assume they’re easily bribed by worldly temptations. Graycloaks tend to get along well with the Learned Guard and Starwatch, but other guards view them as strange and unapproachable.
