Recruit
I've noticed that I never once saw a special unit after the first few months in the game. Then I checked around and while all the villagers had their 'attitude' where it was supposed to be, the 'power' of the village notable was always at 100 for every single village, no matter how many quests I did there before. I did a quick quest, then monitored it by waiting in the village, and it just started dropping by increments of 1 until it hit 100.
