Other Benefits

If a citizen of The Empire has been found guilty of non-treasonous felony crimes then they request clemency for those crimes by becoming a Mercy Executioner. The citizen's sentence is commuted or waived at the Judges discretion. The price for this is that if a family member or known close companion at the time of the sentence is ever found guilty of a non-treasonous felony then their sentence will be death and the new Mercy Executioner will ordered to fullfill the Death Warrant
