In any case, without context, it seems like the most likely explanation is that it's a rhetorical reference to the Ilwrath military in general. It seems unlikely that an "excruciator" (literal meaning something like a torturer) would be a special rank of officer involved in an attack, and in any case the attack is full-scale and probably involves all levels of the military.
