A chief butler is the direct superior to standard butlers. Chief butlers are promoted butlers, "commanding" a group varying between 5 and 30 maids and assigning them work in a set of rooms. Chief butlers are either promoted by the Game Masters, or their employers/owners, and are also given the task to protect their subordinates.
For this purpose, they are required by law to be issued a sidearm, a handbag, ammunition for the sidearm, as well as a purse, to be considered a chief butler, again either by the GMs, or their employers/owners.
Chief butlers are always male(/otoko), but have a female(/futanari) counterpart, the head maid.

Although this is rarer, chief butlers can also be directly employed by other inhabitants of the Mazes, typically to serve as the leader of already previously employed butlers. They are often paid a higher wage than standard butlers, but aside from the task of protecting and assigning work to their subordinates, chief butlers usually do the same tasks and jobs as standard ones.

Two types of chief butlers can be distinguished:

  • Chief butlers not working for anyone in particular in the Mazes are given work by the Game Masters themselves, and are paid a default wage of 120 P$/day. Typically, a chief butler is promoted after a few years of work as a normal butler, or as the GMs see fit.
  • Chief butlers employed or owned by someone else, for whom they will work exclusively. Traditionally, on top of their subordinate supervision duties, a chief butler will have a closer relationship to their employers/owners and are better trusted than standard butlers to clean, for example, the employer/owner's room, or watching their belongings or personal effects. Chief butlers are in this sense, closer to being personal bodyguards and confidants.

A chief butler is considered part of the Maze Personnel and is usually respected as such. Despite this, it remains one of the lowest ranking jobs in the Mazes. They are naturally less common than their subordinates and are more rarely seen.

As it takes a certain amount of time for a non-privately employed/owned butler to reach the status of chief butler, they are most of the time already employed/owned butlers who have been chosen or promoted by their employers for the job. Reasons for the promotion are variable, ranging from simple trust, to experience in the job, or even expertise in other, non-butlerwork related skills (typically marksmanship, due to their assigned weapon).

Chief butlers are also noted for having a particular special ability. Being both an experienced servant and a capable leader of other butlers, the chief butler may, if provoked in combat, give up a turn to summon 2 subordinates with random weapons to aid him and dispatch whatever menace he may face. This ability is also available if that chief butler is the contestant's ally, and may defend the team as required. At the end of the fight, the butlers are dismissed and will not follow their superior.

NOTE: This ability can only be used once per fight. It is subjected to a fixed FT of 5; it can thus fail. Attempting to summon works like a normal attack and consumes the chief butler's turn.
