In general, this has benefited the knightly houses, for the Sacristans act as something of a counterpoint to the natural arrogance and warlike tendencies of the Knights, and have often been able to arbitrate between different houses to ensure they do not wipe one another out in bitter feuds. However, this political might is also an important tool for the Adeptus Mechanicus, which the Tech-Priests use to try and bend the Knight worlds to their will. More often than not, however, the Knights’ ingrained sense of honour and duty often drives them to follow a course of action that the Adeptus Mechanicus would far rather they ignore.{{Fn|1}}
Some legends claim that sacristans invented Knight tournaments. The goal being for Knight pilots to enjoy the pleasure of violent dominance without destroying their machine lords and attain glory without actually murdering each other.{{Fn|3e}}
