The Harbringers were the most fanatical and loyal of Katsumi's followers, having been in existence since the beginning of their species' creation. They served the Queen Mother alone and answered to no one. They were unable to be corrupted or turned against Katsumi; she had bound them to eternal servitude in an unsaid ritual. Even the other Elders had no control or authority over their activities. Instead, the Harbringers held absolute authority over their other brethren, only being second to Katsumi.
