Centivar
A Centivar is a servant of the scientific entity, The-Natural-Order-of-Things. There are 100 Centivars in total, as opposed to the single Avatar who works for the magical entity, The-Powers-That-Be. Centivars are immortal and are bound for life. Additionally, they are each assigned a number (e.g. Aiko Maki is the 97th Centivar).[1] The 100 Centivars are collectively known as the Centum.
The-Natural-Order-of-Things and The-Powers-That-Be are in conflict with each other, but as part of their compact, they agreed to only work through their respective servant(s). Furthermore, each scientific Centivar must be accompanied by a magic-based Proxy. The Centum eventually stopped doing this because this prevented the magic users from being embraced by The-Powers-That-Be; however, Aiko restarted this practice with Mia DiMaria.[2]
Although the Centum and the Avatar are used instead of abstract intermediaries like the Preordained, they have the same rank.[3]
