Grand Provost Marshal
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Grand Provost Marshal is the commander of the Adeptus Arbites, the Imperium's galaxy-spanning law enforcement apparatus.[1]
A permanent member of the High Lords of Terra, the Grand Provost Marshal represents the Emperor's Law to the rest of the High Lords and is a key source of legal advice. However, they are concerned primarily with political matters on Terra and leaves most Arbites operations to their subordinates.[1]
