Legal constrained against brain scanning, data
mining is their only way of discovering Knights hiding among the
normal wizard populace.
    Primary analysis units focus on analyzing
data collected from the entire population. They look for any
anomalies such as displays of heightened intelligence or athletic
ability. Their job is to find what is exceptional and ascertain if
it is beyond the parameters of what a normal wizard could do. The
Hunters also employ a secondary analysis unit that focuses
exclusively on schools. They scour all school records for any
anomalies consistent with a Knight. Once flagged by one of these
units a suspect will be further investigated by intelligence
agents. These agents make call whether or not to bring in one of
the Hunting units.
    Aside of analysis the Hunters also provide
rapid response teams to be dispatched in case of a sudden attack by
Knights. There are dozens of Knight Hunter bases in all five wizard
cities. One of these bases will be publicly known, the others
secret.
    Only three units of Knight Hunters spend
their time actively engaging Knights. When a potential Knight is
discovered one of these units will be dispatched to eliminate the
target. Their mandate allows only for one result. The Knight must
die. Occasionally a false positive will occur and a wizard will
prove not to have been a Knight. False positives are never publicly
acknowledged.
    Though trained the Knight Hunters are
skilled only to the degree of a Pre-Ocean regular soldier.
Consequently their tactics for dealing with Knights rely on brute
force application of power. They overwhelm a target with saturation
fire from as many directions as possible. Hunters prefer to ambush
a potential Knight in order to minimize response.
    Despite dealing with Knights on a regular
basis there has been erosion in the skill of the Knight Hunters
over the years. Hiding their skills atrophies a Knight's power
leading to easier Hunts. They have not faced a true Knight, let a
alone a Harrower, in five hundred years.
