| [[Seneschal]] (SCL)—Outside of the positions of [[Grand Master]] and [[Deputy Grand Master]], [[Seneschal]] is the most overwhelming position in the Brotherhood. The primary caretaker and developer of all Brotherhood technology, this position has a list of duties that is long and a set of projects that never ends. The primary purpose of this position is to ensure that the main Brotherhood website is up and running. The [[Seneschal]] works to add new features to the site and actively strives to document and improve the code that is already used. Outside of this, the [[Seneschal]] is often called upon to assist in building websites for smaller units and for special events like [[Vendettas]]. This Councillor helps the [[Grand Master]] in the administration of access to the Brotherhood server and works to keep the files there safe and free from corruption. The [[Seneschal]] also works to maintain the Brotherhood’s communication channels. He is charged with improving and updating the Brotherhood's IRC system and the Brotherhood message forum. The position of [[Seneschal]] can be intense and many times members will not understand the amount of effort that goes into his tasks. The position is rewarding, however, as the holder can single-handedly change the Brotherhood for the better.
