If they allow for things like Behemoths to get the ok to be released into the general wilds then I'm sure there's other creations that are out there that's just as dangerous. Just because most Ancients didn't need to know how to fight doesn't mean there aren't any who would. After all Pandeamonium's whole deal is the containment and study of the most unruly of creations. Emet Selch seemed to hint at that even someone who holds the seat of Altima who is the advocate of the arts should be able to handle any problems.

Even Hythlodaeus who has a cushy desk job knows how to fight. He I want to say is the one that tells us they only have their hoods up when they're somewhere they know they won't need to rely much on their peripheral vision. The seat of Azem is practically filled by someone who is capable of running around as an unsundered WoL. I.E someone who is there to help the little guy with whatever problems they might have. That being a volcano about to erupt, punching something in the face that's been terrorizing the town, or finding some little girl's totally not creepy assed dolls.
