The library's note
He rides "a slow, enduring, heavy horse, to which his own aspect corresponds," Waite writes, exhibiting his pentacle without ever actually looking at it. Utility, responsibility, and rectitude fill the compiled reading Waite gives this rank, "all on the normal and external plane," the suit's material concern carried here as plain endurance, a far heavier gait than the wands' Knight keeps at the same rank two suits over.
