Biodata
| Feature | Information |
|---|---|
| Name | Commander (百总) |
| Affiliation | River Bureau; River Office |
| Occupation/Role | Senior military office overseeing forces and, in the Combat Department, the waters under its jurisdiction |
| Status | Active; appointments are highly contested and vacancies are rare |
| First Appearance | Chapter 52 |
Office and Authority
- Commander posts in the River Bureau are normally fixed for years; newcomers generally can only compete when an incumbent retires or a vacancy opens. Such vacancies become contests between Clear River City’s major factions. 106
- A Combat Department Commander possesses substantial authority and influence. Within the waters under their control, they are described as functioning like local rulers despite being constrained by the River Bureau’s Thousand-Commanders. 106
- Commanders are eligible to obtain military merit above Grade D and may exchange merit at the River Office for higher cultivation methods, including the Force Refinement and True Force Transformation Method. 107
- A Commander may recruit and transfer personnel, but formal military registration, tokens, and transfer orders determine whether that authority can be exercised in practice. Hong Ming was unable to mobilize his former Fourth Team before his promotion and transfer were formally implemented. 114
Appointment and Selection
- In the recorded emergency selection, only Squad Leaders who had previously secured a selection slot could enter the Commander candidacy. 106
- The candidacy theoretically included eighteen martial artists: twelve from the Combat Department and three each from the Ship Affairs and General Affairs Departments. 106
- Candidates first underwent screening by receiving one move from a Vice Thousand-Commander without being driven beyond a marked white line. Those who passed advanced to martial contests. 109
- Weapons were permitted during the selection, favoring Main Combat Battalion candidates trained in saber techniques. 108
- The victor could temporarily serve as a Commander; Hong Ming ultimately won the selection by defeating Jiang Xuan. 106 113

- Huang Yucheng’s death — Vice Thousand-Commander Huang Yucheng was later ambushed and killed, prompting a citywide investigation of Clear River City’s Transformation Force martial artists. 120
