Godparent (rank)

Godfather or Godmother was the highest rank in Faction Paradox's hierarchy. The title was reserved for the heads of the Faction's several departments, including the Military and Bioresearch Wings. They rarely left the Eleven-Day Empire; one would always perform the duty of Acting Speaker in the Parliament, since the Speaker's Chair was always left vacant for the Grandfather. (PROSE: The Book of the War) Godfather Morlock, head of the Bioresearch Wing, was Acting Speaker when the Sontarans invaded the Eleven-Day Empire; at the same time, Sabbath was head of the Military Wing, and Quelch was in charge of initiations of new members. (AUDIO: The Eleven Day Empire) After Godfather Avatar died in the Civil War, Godparent Pinocchio became head of the Rump Parliament. (PROSE: A Hundred Words from a Civil War)
