These sound like some sort of broo elite, however I think there is also large *underclass* of chaotics living in (and in the sewers *under*) the streets of Glamour. Chaotics throughout the Empire gravitate there, because as David suggests, Glamour is probably the only place in the Empire where chaotics are not persecuted. Nevertheless, most chaotics can only survive in Glamour by begging, thieving and other criminal activities, because few people are willing to employ them.
Reaching Moon's "Rough Guide to Glamour" notes that broos and their spawn operate the public conveniences in the city; this is one of the few legitimate jobs they can get, because such positions are in the gift the Teelo Norri sisters who look after their welfare. There's an evocative Simon Bray pic of one such broo lav attendant carrying a mop in the book.
