Legate

The title Legate (pronounced leg-it) is given to the field generals and the high ranking soldiers of the Imperial Legion. Legates sit one level of command below General.

Gaining the rank
Legates are appointed based on experience and proof of prowess. Ranks are given, indiscriminate of gender or race -- although typically the role is filled by an Imperial.

Duties
Legates command foot soldiers, issuing orders and directing them in combat. Legates coordinate raids on Stormcloak forts and bases of operations.

Possible legates
The Dovahkiin may have been given the title, Legate, after achieving so many victories for the Imperial Legion during the Civil War of Skyrim.

Bugs

 * Currently there is a bug in which Legates are still flagged as "important" characters after completing the Civil War questline, which prevents them from being killed
