  Hetaeras
Human beings (most notably, the types that would require a Hetaera's attention) tend to define altogether too much of their sense of self-worth from that particular corporeal activity, especially at the age that most Hetaeras are called in.
What Hetaeras do is to provide balance: their subjects are usually individuals with a particular talent or genius who have not yet been fully integrated into their local societal matrix.
And, of course, Hetaeras of the Sword have the trickiest job of all: they must go out and pull out of the fire those who are at the brink of falling into sin and error.
