The face of clockwork men was blank, and they were incapable of speech. People of Industry believed that clockwork men had a cog wheel in place of their heart. They emitted loud ticking. | The face of clockwork men was blank, and they were incapable of speech. People of Industry believed that clockwork men had a cog wheel in place of their heart.

Clockwork men were typically deployed in conjunction with a local time freeze. Their main task was embedding subliminal messages into people deviating from the Figurehead's plan in order to correct their behaviour. A small proportion of Industry's population, including Prince [[Zanith]], were immune to this conditioning. Clockwork men also "cut out from time" individuals with too significant violations, as well as the surplus individuals not necessary for the success of the plan. Individuals who could serve the Figurehead in a different capacity were taken to the [[Clock Tower (Time Works)|Clock Tower]], with the rest of Industry believing them to be cut out from time like the others. | Clockwork men were typically deployed in conjunction with a local time freeze.

The stochastic capabilities of clockwork men enabled them to predict probable futures. In the rare cases they encountered non-time-frozen individuals, they could deliver a painful shock to them if they detected even a small probability of misbehaviour. | The stochastic capabilities of clockwork men enabled them to predict probable futures.
