| [[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 [[Vendetta|Vendettas]]. This Councilor 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.

| The [[Seneschal]] is the chamberlain of the [[Dark Hall]]. The [[Seneschal]] oversees the security forces located directly on [[Antei]] to ensure the safety of the [[Dark Hall]], the [[Dark Council]] and the [[Star Chamber]]. The [[Seneschal]] also holds the public status of [[starwars:Moff|Moff]] of the [[Antei System]]. Though the [[Seneschal]] is technically inferior to the [[Grand Master]] as [[starwars:Grand moff|Grand Moff]], the [[Seneschal]] handles most of the day-to-day running of the sector.
| | First and foremost, the Seneschal is the head of the Brotherhood's Research and Development departments. This encompasses everything from biotic, technological, and even alchemical advancements for the benefit of the Brotherhood. This often has the Senechal working with Regent on creating new material possessions for the Brotherhood's armory and inventory systems. Similarly, the advancements in Biotechnology have the Senechal working with the Headmaster to oversee medical administration and support service for the Brotherhood's medwards and infirmaries. |

| See: [[Organizational Chart]]
| | The Seneschal is also charged with overseeing all elements of the cyber-security for the Brotherhood: everything from encrypted transmission and system administration of databases to the securing of credit accounts and other counter-slicing measures to protect the Brotherhood’s interests. |
