In the hierarchy of the Glade, the Second-in-Command was in charge whenever the First-in-Command was not available, and was the leaders right-hand man and helper. There seems to be two instances of characters with the role of Second-in-Command in the Books. Newt was the Second-in-Command below Alby in Group A, and it seems that Sonya had the same role within Group B, second to Harriet. This was an interesting coincidence since Newt and Sonya were siblings.
