The Jinyiwei (aka Puño Gris)[1] are the Emperor's secret police, put in place by Emperor Osvaldo to keep La Familia in power[2]. They were based on Nuevo Chile after it was cut off from the rest of the Second Spanish Empire[3] until the Continuum of Makers took it over[4]. They are described by Taneel as "the secret police even the secret police don't know about"[5]. Orla O'Malley is a member of the Jinyiwei serving on the Machito.
