A Herald speaks on behalf of the Prince. Considered as the "mouthpiece" for a Prince, the Herald must ensure that all vampires hear the decrees of their liege. When the Herald speaks, their words are considered to be equivalent to the Prince speaking; while this might cause problems, most Heralds do not double cross the Prince. This position is usually absent in smaller cities[1].
A representative of the Consilium to its cabals or to foreign Consilii. There are as many Heralds in a Consilium as necessary although this title usually goes to only those who are trustworthy and capable of putting the needs of the Consilium above their own.
