what does consul wear
Folks, have you ever vicariously scrolled hundreds of pages just cause you're too alecpilled and need to know what his closet will be like when he finally gets promoted? I know you haven't obviously I'm the no 1 Alec stan. here today to deliver what I think is me cracking the code on what it mean when the consul wears "consul robe"
After scrolling the likes of the mortal instruments, the infernal devices, the last hours, the dark artifices, I have noticed that there are two types of robes the consul would wear
The Council Member Robe
Consul Josiah Wayland
Consul Jia Penhallow
Young Alec Lightwood
In more less-important to semi-formal occasions, the Consul opts for a long black robe that also functions as a cloak, with silver runes decorated on the sleeve and the hem, standard wear for every Council member. I'm assuming it's made of not heavy material, as it's reported to flow according to the wearer movement, and shadowhunter tend to move a lot
The Consul Ceremonial Red Robe
Consul Charlotte Brandwell
Consul - The Shadowhunters Wiki
Shadowhunter Rhyme
It seems the Consul has a special ceremonial robe, preserved for special occasions that require their presence such as the Ascension ritual. The robe is red, billowing around the wearer's body, stamped with silver and gold runes, and the Consul is said to have their own staff. Aside from them, there have been no mention of other shadowhunter with high authority wearing red robes with a combination of both silver and gold runes, so we can assume this is something the Consul is granted. Can't wait to see our Consul in his powerful robe!
