Master of the Order (ESW)

The Master of the Order was a rank and title bestowed upon a Jedi Master. The title signified that the Jedi Master was the leader of the Jedi Council. It was slightly different from the Grand Master title, although, the two would often merge under the same Jedi individual.

History
The rank was established upon the inception of the Jedi Order&mdash;then known as the Ashta Matha&mdash;to help organize the meetings of the Jedi Council. The Master would often raised topics of concern and administer polls to avoid disorganized chatter. The Master of the Order was appointed via a vote by the Jedi Council&mdash;conducted by the Grand Master&mdash;it required the unanimous consent of the Council to approve a member to the position.

The title was held by many Jedi, but their names were usually mired in obscurity. Of the few that had been remembered by historians, the most significant could be narrowed down to three: Glanville, Otah and Mason Quarrell.
