The Adjudicator
The cold, unyielding voice of the High Table's absolute justice.
The Adjudicator is an agent of the High Table sent to punish John Wick and those who assist him. She is portrayed by Asia Kate Dillon in *John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum*. The Adjudicator meets with New York Continental manager Winston Scott and the Bowery King, notifying them that they both have seven days to resign from their positions as a consequence of helping John. She enlists Zero, a Japanese assassin, and orders him to stab the Director through both of her hands as penance for aiding John. Later, she confronts the Bowery King, who refuses to abdicate his position, leading to Zero's students slaughtering his men and Zero slashing the Bowery King seven times with a wakizashi. When Winston refuses to abdicate and John refuses to kill him, the Adjudicator revokes the Continental's neutral status and sends both Zero and an army of heavily armed High Table enforcers to kill John and Winston. On the roof of the Continental, she agrees to a parley with Winston, who offers allegiance to the High Table.
