Harpy

Both an official and unofficial position. A Harpy is a member of the “Kindred elite” whose word is respected by other Kindred (essentially information brokers and gossip starters).

Those who attain their influence and position unofficially are often more respected than those are appointed by Prince or Primogen. Unofficial Harpy probably calls things as he truly sees them, whereas an appointed Harpy is usually believed (accurately or not) to be a propagandist for the Prince.
