So, I'm curious if I could get some guidance on the relationship/hierarchy of RW Apprentices and the Legion.
It's clear that actual Red Wizards rank above every member of any legion. But what's the generally understood relationship between Apprentices and the legion, especially officers in the legion. It hasn't come up yet in any really important way, but Cain generally thinks about it like this -
* apprentices are not full-fledged Reds and therefore cannot give him orders unless they are relaying an order from a Red
* apprentices deserve and get respect (especially because they one day may become a RW), but they don't get the fear, subservience, and obedience that most others give them. Though Cain is willing to do favors and be helpful to them
Does that sound about right?
Also, to get a bit more extreme, what if a (stupid) apprentice ever attacked Cain? Is Cain supposed to stand there and take it, or can he defend himself? What if he ever killed or subdued an apprentice? Is it automatic death/enslavement or is it subject to judgement or treated more like the death of a slave (i.e. as theft from the master)?
I understand every situation is unique and hurting an apprentice would be very bad and subject to the whim of the apprentice's master, but like I said, some guidance would be appreciated. And I assume there would be some incidents in Thay's past that would offer some hints.
Thanks :)
