[edit] Under Elayne Trakand

Elayne Trakand's guard is made of almost all woman, because she believes she can trust women more. The head of the Guard is currently Birgitte Silverbow, Elayne's Warder

[edit] Ranks

The ranks of the officers of the Queen's Guards are identified by their golden knots of rank on one or both shoulders of their garments and armour. The hierarchy is as follows:

Captain-General - Four golden knots

Held by:

• Aranvor Naldwinn
• Gareth Bryne
• Birgitte Silverbow

Captain- Three golden knots

Held by:

• Doilan Mellar
• Captain Kindlin
• Charlz Guybon

Lieutenant- Two golden knots

Held by:

• Doilan Mellar (promoted to Captain)
• Charlz Guybon (promoted to Captain)
• Caseille Raskovni

Also referred to as 'Guardsman-Lieutenant'

Under-Lieutenant- One golden knot

Held by:

• Martyn Tallanvor
• Tzigan Sokorin
• Rasoria Domanche

Note: With Martyn Tallanvor, he is observed as having one knot of rank and the title of 'Guardsman-Lieutenant'. These two facts seem to conflict with the evidence in the rest of the series.
