And it sounds like its even more complicated for succubae. Also, ive read stories like this before. Generally done in high magic stories. Basically the story goes that a lot of fantasy creatures are the product of drunken wizards messing about and sometimes you get one shot creatures, sometimes they escape and breed true. I cant remember where I read it, might have been a webcomic where someone says, "Are you trying to tell me the wizard who made OWLBEARS a thing was sober?!"
Yes, but rank doesn't usually cross nationalities. A US private doesn't have to salute a North Korean major. Maxima is within her rights to tell Tom that Dabbler isn't in his chain of command; in fact, that seems to be a pretty important point of order.
