The Flame Brother soldiers are independent contractors, they work directly for Arnau as assigned by his paramilitary-warlock cult. But Arnau himself had become a direct employee of the covenant. We voted on that in the meeting of Spring 1234. Until that point, Arnau was just an associate and prospective hireling of Roberto. My long term vision and hope is for Arnau to eventually take over as the Captain and perhaps recieve an Ex-Officio vote on the council.
