Vizier/Legends

A Vizier was a title given to personages employed in service to a ruler – usually of noble lineage. A Vizier acted as a high-ranking political advisor or a respected member of the clergy. A Vizier was often left in charge of a region in the event that the chosen ruler was unable to perform their functions. They were most commonly found in star systems run by a theocracy, but this was not true of all governing bodies. Additionally, on Alderaan a vizier served as the equivalent to a Prime Minister.
