Knight-Commander

Knight-Commander is the title granted to the leading Templar of every Circle of Magi in Thedas, usually as a counterpart to the First Enchanter. They are essentially the ones in charge of a branch of Templars in an area. There maybe more than one Knight-Commander in a nation, exemplified the likes of Tavish, Harrith and Greagoir.

A Knight-Commander has the authority to do the following:


 * Order the execution of a mage who has been found guilty of practicing forbidden blood magic.
 * Invoke the Right of Annulment upon a Circle, but only with permission from either a Grand Cleric or the Divine.

Unlike the First Enchanters, the Knight-Commanders do not have a single Templar superior who leads their Order. Instead, they appear to defer to the authority of the Seekers of Truth, who are in turn concurrently headed by Lord Seeker Lambert. But if they did have a top leader of their own, then he or she would probably be referred to as the Knight-General.
