The Manciple was in charge of buying food and supplies for a law office. Despite his lack of education does not stop him knowing the law and economic policies through and through. His ethics are called into question when it is brought to the reader’s attention that money from every transaction somehow ends up in the Manciple’s account. He wears a blue coat, with a thick white belt and a red and gold hat. His nice clothing infers that he has money.

The Pardoner has been described to have long blonde hair and a clean, hairless face. He sells indulgences in the name of the Church, however the money never seems to get there. These indulgences make the buyer believe that their sins have been forgiven. As another way to generate money, the Pardoner claims to have pieces of objects which at one time belonged to saints, and even pieces of them. He is not someone to be trusted.

A Reeve manages his employer’s farm or estate, and this specific one is also a carpenter. He can estimate the yields of his master's crops and livestock based only on the rainfall from year to year. However, much like the Manciple, the Reeve is skilled in financially outsmarting his masters. He steals from his lord's property and later loans money to the lord from these ill-gotten funds, much like a pyramid scheme. He has a sickly appearance, wears a blue cloak and rides a beautiful gray horse. These are both signs that he is economically sound.

A Summoner is someone who is hired by the Church to call people before the ecclesiastical court for their spiritual crimes. These crimes might include adultery or heresy. These crimes could warrant excommunication. The Summoner is not physically attractive. His face is covered in puss filled, oozing sores that no ointment can heal. His narrow eyes are covered by coarse eyebrows. On top of that, the Summoner enjoys consuming smelly vegetables such as onions, garlic, and leeks.
