Accolyte and MiB. I think you have gotten into this too much. Accolyte, you forgot one MAJOR thing. Hierus is not a canon rank. As I have said before and tried to point out, Primus is the highest rank in the army, not Valus. And yes, I have proof for this. Just take a look at the Taken King Grimoire Cards about the Cabal, more specifically, Ghost Fragment: Cabal 3 and Mau'ual's, Tlu'urn's and Ta'aun's grimoire. You'll understand then. And MiB, no offense, but Accolyte got it together better. This is the real chain of command:


 * 1. Emperor. Gives vague orders to the commanders of the Legions, the Primuses/Primi/Primusi(?).
 * 2. Primus. Specifies orders to the secondary commanders of the Legion, the Valus. Very rarely leads the force directly.
 * 3. Valus. Issues commands to the regiment under their command. Lsads directly if necessary.
 * 4. Bracus. Field commanders of smaller forces than the Valuses/Vali(?). Leads directly from the front almost always, unlike their superiors.

Yes, I excluded Hierus because that's a rank exclusive for the Burning Legion, and not Canon (yet). By the way, Primus means chief, supreme, head, first and primary in latin. So now it makes even more sense, doesn't it?
