The Seekers for Truth are Seanchan who investigate treason and other wrong-doing. They act as spies among the Seanchan and their enemies, and are akin to a secret police force. They are so'jhin and the personal property of the Empress. Seekers wear a tattoo of the Imperial Raven and Tower on the back of each shoulder, though they are less willing to shown them off than the Deathwatch Guards with their own tattoos. Seekers also carry identification plaques for when the need arises. Anyone must obey the Seekers of Truth, even one of the Blood.
