==Description==
Authority Commanders are high-ranking members of The Central Authority. The rank of "Commander" fits them very well, they have the combat skills of an experienced player and a huge health pool, making them a true challenge. At least '''ONE''' Commander is located within the prison of [[Fort Merit]], in a room staring at some empty shelves. An Authority Commander can also be found in the [[Etris: Siege]] event.

==Moveset==
Their arsenal is composed of either an [[Adretian Axe]] or [[Cavalry Saber]] along with the [[Flamecharm]] Attunement, and some hand-to-hand combat:

===Passives===

*Experienced Fighter - Can block and parry common attacks and mantras.
*Mantra Modification - An Authority Commander's "Flame Repulsion" mantra is modified with either 3 [[Mantra Modifiers|Cloudstones]] or 2 [[Mantra Modifiers|Stratus Stones]].

=== Talents ===

* Eruption Path: Lava Serpent - Your fire abilities proc an eruption under the enemies feet instead of burn.
* Empowered Eruption - Your next Eruption after landing a critical is empowered with increased range and damage.
* Flash Point - Block-breaking an enemy with a fire mantra applies Burning. Posture breaking an opponent will also cause your Eruptions to be Empowered for the next 10s.
* {{cl|advancedtlnf|The Floor is Lava}} - Your Eruptions leave lethal pools of lava beneath them.
* {{cl|raretlnf|Mirage Clone}} - Successfully dodging leaves behind a heat mirage clone that sets enemies that swung at you on fire.
* Azure Flames - Many of your flames turn blue, signifying their increased intensity.
* Riot Breaker - You receive 15% less posture damage and deal 10% more posture damage when under attack by 3 or more enemies.
* Immolation - Fire spells cost 70% less ether while on fire. If you hit someone while on fire, apply fire damage. You take 50% less damage from self-inflicted flames.
* {{cl|advancedtlnf|Phoenix Flames}} - Any time you would burn to death, you instead rise again with 50% of your health restored.
* Corpse Explosion - Bodies that you burn to death immediately explode dealing massive damage. Your flames will also incinerate unconscious targets much faster.
* Controlled Combustion - Your Agitating Spark no longer spreads to your allies.
* {{cl|advancedtlnf|Audacity}} - Once you've brought down your prey, instill fear into all those who would separate you from claiming it.
* {{cl|raretlnf|Impervious Slumber}} - Getting hit while knocked no longer resets your time knocked.

==Tips==

*They can be assassinated, if they happen to not look in your direction/or were not alerted consider doing the following and pile up some damage with powerful mantras.
*At almost any given time they'll try to use their mantras while performing an M1 combo.
*Expect [[Authority_Peacekeeper|Authority Peacekeepers]] and other nearby Authority NPCS to interfere with your fight.
*You'll frequently get into a parry battle with the Commander, so feint to disrupt it.

* This was the only NPC you could pickpocket so far. 
* You cannot talk with them. Previously, attempting to do so would pickpocket them instead.
*They wear the [[Authority Commander]] Outfit, an [[Authority Helm]], and a [[Shrouded Capes|Black Shrouded Cape]].
