Editing Chapter of the Forlorn Hope (section)

===Officers===
Officers are pulled from the 1st Company whose members are known as Aspirants. It is from this pool that the Chapter can be sure that the members assuming the role of leaders are free of The Mark and most skilled among their brethren. When an Aspirant seeks to attain the position of an Officer they must challenge their commanding officer to a Duel of Command. This duel takes place before a battle or campaign where the aspiring Aspirant proves their right to command by strength and skill. Should they prove to be the victor the commanding officer will shadow the Aspirant for the duration of the engagement, allowing him to command his brothers. If found to be worthy the commanding officer will present a token to the Aspirant. This token is then taken to the Company Chief where they will be tested beyond the limits mentally and physically, further establishing by what right they seek the title of Officer. Past this stage they are granted the Rank of Lieutenant and given command of a Division. During their time as a Division Commander they will be graded by The First as to their skill and merit. If worthy, The First presents they with a token whereby they are granted the opportunity to apprentice under a Company Master as a Master Lieutenant. Upon the passing of the Company Master, the Master Lieutenant will assume command. If at any point the Aspirant should fail, they must report to the Deathwatch to serve another 71 years to further hone their skills.
