Thireftis

Thireftis: The hunters of the Astynomia (when writing their rank, just like the guards, these felines are just "hunters"). These felines are used to go inside of the walls of the maze to hunt down and subsequently, kill, any survivors they find within. They have a curfew to follow, and cannot journey alone in the maze at night as it is too dangerous to go inside... as in recent years those that have gone in at night have never returned. Hunters also are only allowed to go so far into the maze, on paths clearly marked by the apaxio (scouts). Those that disregard this rule often vanish as well. The job of a hunter is the hardest of the four Astynomia ranks, as they are the ones that are often put in harms way. Though recently, they have been focusing more on ridding the streets of thieves and other riffraff, as the Knossos army is no longer able to do so.
