Justine Barbier
Nothing enters or leaves the Graylock Compound without Justine Barbier's knowledge.
As commander of the Graycoats, the guard force that secures the compound in The Mass, Barbier has made the sole approach to the settlement as close to impenetrable as terrain and vigilance can achieve. The Graylock Compound sits atop bluffs overlooking a massive waterflow that naturally sweeps away approaching undead, and the only way in is a bridge spanning that waterway. Two pillbox guard posts overlook the crossing. Barbier's garrison mans them continuously, and Barbier herself personally oversees the gatehouse where every arrival and departure is logged.
The personal attention is the key detail. Other compounds rely on guard rotations and checkpoint procedures. Barbier stations herself at the point of contact, making undetected entry virtually impossible through the simple expedient of having the commander's own eyes on the gate. The arrangement speaks to either extraordinary dedication or extraordinary distrust, and in The Mass, the distinction is academic.

Personal history
Justine Barbier commands the Graycoats guard force at the Graylock Compound in The Mass, a settlement whose natural defenses she has reinforced with personal vigilance. The compound sits on bluffs above a massive waterflow, and the sole approach crosses a bridge overlooked by two pillbox guard posts manned by Barbier's garrison.
Barbier's approach to security is defined by her personal presence at the gatehouse. Rather than delegating checkpoint duties, she oversees arrivals and departures herself, making undetected entry nearly impossible. The practice has made the Graylock Compound one of the most secure settlements in The Mass, though it also concentrates a significant amount of authority in a single individual stationed at a single chokepoint.
