Constable is an obsolete creature type job for a person who maintains the peace and enforces law usually within smaller towns or communities.
History
Constable debuted as a creature type in Homelands on the card An-Havva Constable which depicts a member of the Constables of An-Havva. The type was later dropped in the Grand Creature Type Update, and it was given errata to be a Human without any specific job.[1] It has never been reprinted with its new type line.
