Bailiff
The title of bailiff carries an unpleasant connotation in many cities. Bailiffs enforce commerce laws, including the collection of municipal taxes . . . which, of course, doesn’t endear them to the populace. Most bailiffs report to the mayor; however, unlike the mayor, they are rarely elected by the people, making it diffi cult to hold them accountable for any abuses.
Alternate Title: Reeve.
Associated Class: Aristocrat or warrior.
