Why do you think it's necessary to work "for someone"? Then, you can assume we work for King Moenin [...] or we are secret agents of Cherkhawla [...] The most sensible theory i think is that we work for the bursar of the Complete Order Department. At least, he does pay us every dozen days for some reason. Choose any drivel you like: it will not be any worse than a guess that we work for the Order of the Sevenfoil, but at least will not sound so banal.

Sir Max, Night Face of the Chief of Secret Investigations, Death on the King's Service et al, rebutting the hypothesis of a criminal mage caught due to naivete. (Labyrinths of Echo, "The Secret of Oakleaf Club")

Yes, i serve the law. Why not? But i don't forget for a minute that this law was made by bores!

Sir Max, Night Face of the Chief of Secret Investigations et al, in the recruitment interview on his admission into the King's secret society dedicated to keeping in check the Order of the Sevenfoil. (Labyrinths of Echo, "A Talkative Dead Man")

And then today... Today I learned that while I'm keeping the peace, somebody else is killing the future. Somebody who took the same oaths I did, who salutes the same set of flags I do.

— UNS Leutenant Haley Sorlie, Schlock Mercenary
