Deputy Commander?
Oh, a mascot within the legion—a Red Equipment Holder.
The moment Gu Xi heard Si Tan's introduction, he understood Si Tan's situation.
Generally speaking, the power in major human legions was held by their commanders. They were also the true commanders recognized and appointed by the Strength Council.

Any Red Equipment Holder willing to oversee a major legion could receive a Deputy Commander position.
Of course, the military had its own final principle: a Deputy Commander was a Deputy Commander, but military rank still had to be determined by level and achievements.
