Kithriarch

Kithriarch was a title in Time Lord society given to the head of each of the families of the Great Houses (NA: Lungbarrow). The Kithriarch was not the same as the Housekeeper, who was responsible for the well-being of the House itself. The Kithriarch was responsible for the social well-being of each family member.

The position of Kithriarch was retained through regenerations. On the Kithriarch's final death, he would name his successor.


 * The following is purely speculation.

Although the only known Kithriarch (and his chosen successor) were male, there is nothing to indicate a woman could not hold this title. However, it is strongly implied that only a woman could be a Housekeeper, and as the roles of Housekeeper and Kithriarch go hand-in-hand, Kithriarch most likely was a role filled only by men.
