	- '''[[Ollery]]''' - Her commanding officer, whom she calls "Chief." She runs his supply chain, procures his contraband pamphlets, and flings her arms about him after near-death; he calls her "boy," sends her on errands he knows she will botch, and privately acknowledges owing her a bonus.

	- '''[[Masty]]''' - Her closest bond in the series. He is "the best damn man," "her old comrade," "family."

In the second book their distance is implied by her refusal to enter the Pandaemonium while the Heretics are present - ch 23, ch 30, ch 51, ch 16.		* '''[[Masty]]''' - Her closest bond in the series.

In the second book they share tin cups and the greeting "Not dead yet," and she is the only person who can keep him sane - ch 3, ch 13, ch 30, ch 8, ch 24.		* '''[[Yasnic\|Maric Jack]]''' - She gives him his name, strips him into a uniform, and thereafter teases, torments, protects, and fights beside him.

	- '''[[Lovern]]''' - In the second book, Banders saves the best grins for him, would "save" him if everyone were lined up for sacrifice, and suppresses the feeling because her infiltrator role means the two faces must never meet.
