They make the final decisions for issues that are brought to the Vetus Orphanus if there is a tie. The Dux Orphanus assign mentors for the Nova Orphanus. There are only two of them and there are always one male and one female. The Dux Orphanus are often older Orphans.
VETUS ORPHANUS--*
These Orphans are considered the Elders. Often referred to as "The Council" they help make important decisions, even though the Dux Orphanus may overrule them. The decisions are always put to a vote. If there is a tie, then the issue goes to the Dux Orphanus. There are six males and six females in this group. Vetus Orphanus are often responsible.

The Nova Orphanus are new Orphans. They range in ages, but are not considered Orphanus until they have spent two years as a Nova. They range in ages and personalities. They are mentored by the Nova Orphanus. All Nova Orphanus are welcomed through a ceremony when they first arrive at Oblitus.
SOLUS ORPHANUS--*
The Solus Orphanus are Loner Orphans. They decide to venture off on their own and not be included in the Oblitus society. Some may venture back and some may not. They are accepted by many Orphans and are usually peaceful.
EXSUL ORPHANUS--*
The Exsul Orphanus are exiled Orphans. They can only be exiled by a vote from the Vetus Orphanus. Only serious offenses will warrant an exile.

The Exsul Orphanus will become a Nova Orphanus for two years if they are accepted by the Dux Orphanus again.
