What about the other Vissers?

Gedds seem like the booby prize for yeerks.  I'm betting the council would want the best they could find.  Why they'd take taxxons is beyond me.

It doesn't really surprise me that we didn't see too many other vissers.  With about 50 of them for the entire empire, they're roughly like a 4 star general.  Maybe higher.  Put one on each planet, plus some for fleet commands, maybe  multiples whereever there was intense fighting...  I'm actually kinda surprised visser 2 popped up.  I would have liked to see a few more, or at least see something more about the council, though.

     ^Agreed about  the Council. I think I read somewhere that the Council was around even before the Empire was declared, and before the Yeerks even left the home world. But I could be mistaken.

Seerow mentioned that the council told him they had nothing to do with the original attack on the andalites parked on the planet.  I'm guessing after the yeerks escaped they formed a new council.

     Thanks, Donut. Because of your comment I decided to take another look at the Hork-Bajir Chronicles--reminded, once more, why it's probably my favourite book-- and searched for mention of the Council. I then stumbled across this line from Alloran:

     <Butchered, Prince Seerow,> Alloran said. <Shall I show you the holos of the aftermath? These were the gentlest pictures. I have others. Would you like to see what they did to the bodies of my warriors?>

     I really don't want to imagine what Alloran meant by that.

     Edit: And this:

     There was talk of creating new ranks. Everyone said that if we were going to become a conquering army, we would need a hierarchy. The ancient Council of Thirteen would remain all-important. But beneath that would come something called "vissers" and "sub-vissers."
