Shrieve captain

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Revision as of 05:51, 2 December 2013 by Xensyria (talk | contribs) (keys & literacy)

The Shrieve captain was the commander of the Shrieves guarding the crown jewels of Ribos, housed in the relic-room of the city of Shur.

Along with two Shrieves, he performed ceremonies twice a day: locking the relic-room at night, and opening it the next morning, when he recited:

"We give thanks for the dawn of a new day, and the retreat of the night, and the powers of darkness."

The captain kept the keys to the relic-room, and had an eagle-topped staff that was used to light and extinguish the light-domes of the relic-room during the ceremonies.

He allowed Garron to keep his money with the crown jewels after Garron suggested that he would make a "donation" of 100 or 1000 Opeks, and appeared to be literate, signing his name on the deposit. (TV: The Ribos Operation)
