A Project Associate is a formidable class. The Associate has the right to command whomever they come in contact with except for their superior higher rank the Project Priest. They also command around the Project's Pawns. Associates can be of the age 10 and onward and they are one of the key figures in the Dixmor Project and play a large role in their mission to take over the world. Should Giuseppe Travonni come into fight with an associate, the higher Project ranks will defend the latter. Associates have a lot of rights and can own up to ten factories or industries, all the while working on the Project's payroll. Their pay can be up from $400,000 to $800,000 once they have proven themselves worthy, but they all start with the lowest of $20,000 pay.
