Paladins are a caste in the Brotherhood of Steel.
Overview
Paladins are the protectors of the Brotherhood and their primary, elite fighting force. Each is a highly trained combat veteran with high tech equipment at their disposal. They are responsible for maintaining security, from enemies both within and outside of the organization.[1] The ranks of the paladins are reinforced through promoting veteran knights of exceptional combat aptitude. It's generally impossible to become a paladin any other way.[2][3]
Head paladin
The head paladin is the overall commander of the paladins, responsible for implementing the elder's combat plans, enforcing Brotherhood laws and discipline on top of overseeing the overall training regime. They are a veteran, a talented soldier and are required to periodically convene with other caste heads and the elders.

The Eastern chapter of the Brotherhood in the Midwest has renamed the position of star paladin as paladin lord, but otherwise, it is identical in practice (one step below the general). The East Coast chapter has no equivalent rank, the closest being the position of sentinel, held solely by Sarah Lyons, head of the elite Lyons' Pride task force.
Veteran paladin
While not a part of East Coast chapter, a roughly equivalent rank in Lyons' organization is star paladin, seen above.
