Is there any kind of ranking system that takes rank into account for both the Watch and the Spellguard? Most of the privates my Agent works with treat him like a superior officer (following his orders, calling him 'sir', etc.). Because Agents tend to be less common than a standard private, do they rank above them in the grand scheme of things? What about a Watch Sergeant?
In an ideal situation in which there were no orders from higher figures in the Spellguard and the Watch and an Agent and a Sergeant were at odds about what to do, would either hold rank over the other or would they only really be able to command their respective privates and associates?
How would the second tier in the Spellguard (Operative/Emissary) fit into this?
Is there any kind of convenient 1-1 comparison of rank?
