Deputy Grand Master (DGM)—The Deputy Grand Master has responsibilities and authority only second to the Grand Master. Operating under the auspices of the Brotherhood’s leader, the Deputy Grand Master often finds himself assisting through a variety of roles in nearly every aspect of the Dark Brotherhood. He assists the Grand Master in establishing policy and hierarchy, providing for the future of the organization. The Deputy Grand Master is important for the oversight of both the Dark Council and Clans alike, adding perspective to that of the Grand Master. Beyond his executive responsibilities to the Grand Master, however, the Deputy Grand Master has been given several important tasks on his own, such as the development and administration of Vendetta events. The Deputy Grand Master is often next in line for the Iron Throne, but his first line of duty is as a friend and advisor to the Grand Master.

Duties

Fictional Role

The role of the Deputy Grand Master is perhaps the least well defined. He is the Shadow Hand (or Sith Apprentice) of the Grand Master who is also the Dark Lord of the Sith.

The Deputy Grand Master derives his authority from the Grand Master. His the Grand Master's emissary and speaks with the full authority of his Master, however he does not formally carry any public status. From time to time the Grand Master may formally bestow his authority as Military Executor or Grand Moff upon the Deputy Grand Master.
