Rumors say that the individuals at the headquarters of the Black Order are only puppets controlled by the real generals who are in Central, in the Vatican. They welcome every new exorcist after they are examined by Hevlaska. The Great Generals are the direct superiors to the Generals.

They order him to "fight!" as it his "his duty as a chosen one".

Noah's ark Arc
Komui Lee informs Reever that the great Marshalls are not informed that the Ark has been retrieved by the science section and tells him not to inform them. Komui is apparently late for a meeting with them and they require to know the reason for this before Hevlaska announces the apparition of a new critical point breaker. They seem rather enthusiastic about it.
