So, there came a time when Lesser had to choose few new "employees"...

Indecent luxury and incredibly big salary were only the two first reasons why plenty of volunteers came, hoping to be chosen. However EVEN Lesser cannot take everyone to serve him, so the competition was really hard.

Lucky guy, that passes Lesser's "tests" gets a "property glyph" (the eye-looking logo that appears on servant pec).

Yes, for Lesser:
employee = servant = minion = complete obedience
