The Imperial Matchmaker was a position dedicated to taking care of the process of matching two people for the purpose of marriage in the Imperial Court [1] to the advantage of Imperial goals. [2] Imperial Matchmakers were perfectionists, masters of the field of marital negotiation. Only those who mastered both etiquette and politics, as well as an understanding of noble bloodlines, were considered for the post. Matchmakers were among the most impressive manipulators of the courts in existence. [3]
