A young priest of the Magisterium in The Amber Spyglass, assigned to a particular mission for which he has undergone the rare rite of pre-emptive absolution - carrying out penance in advance so that the sin he is being sent out into the worlds to commit may be committed without guilt. A quiet, fanatical young man whose particular faith in his calling leaves him very little room for hesitation.

A Magisterium alethiometrist whose slow and plodding reading of the alethiometer contrasts pointedly with Lyra's instinctive facility.

A senior figure in the Magisterium - polished, well-connected, and conspicuously well-informed about matters the rest of the Church's leadership has barely begun to grasp. Lord Boreal moves through the upper circles of Geneva and Oxford with the careful, well-practised confidence of a man whose private interests have rather wider reach than his official position implies.

The gaunt, fanatical President of the Consistorial Court of Discipline, a Scotsman who exercises brutal self-discipline. He authorises both Father Gomez's assassination mission and the bomb powered by intercision that targets Lyra.

The Secretary General of La Maison Juste in Geneva, a powerful and calculating man who orchestrates a conspiracy against Lyra and seeks to control the Karamakan rose oil. His daemon is a snowy owl.

The Magisterial nuncio in Aleppo who commands the guard and imprisons Ionides.

A bright young secretary from the Constantinople secretariat whom Delamare brings on his campaign. His daemon is a sparrow.

A stocky military officer with a Franz Joseph beard who serves Delamare by destroying the openings between worlds using tonnerre double explosives.

An Oakley Street agent embedded in the Magisterium's archives in Geneva who witnesses Brande's death.

An English geographer who catalogued openings between worlds across the globe for Delamare, documenting seventeen verified locations in the course of work whose particular sensitivity the upper Magisterium would rather not be widely known.
