The Chancellor of the King's Council, commonly known as the King's Chancellor or simply Chancellor, is the head of government of the Five Kingdoms of Telamon. As such, the Chancellor presides over the Cabinet, a sub-committee of the King's Council, which is the de jure supreme executive authority in Telamon (but in reality has little power). The Chancellor technically serves at the pleasure of the Monarch, but, in practice, whoever commands the confidence of the Popular Assembly is appointed Chancellor. The Chancellor is assisted by the Vice-Chancellor.
