Council of Elders (Steel Plague)

The Council of Elders is the governing body of the Steel Plague.
==Background==
Formed in the late 2070s by Brotherhood founder Roger Maxson, the Council of Elders is the supreme authority on all high-level decisions made by the Steel Plague. The council consists of four elders and one high elder. The high elder at the time, Roger Maxson, would break any stalemates of the other elders. Following the deaths of Head Paladin Rhombus and High Elder John Maxson (Roger's grandson), the Council of Elders would become more unified in their beliefs and decisions. It has been years since the current elder, Jeremy Maxson, has needed to break stalemates between the four elders. In practice Jeremy has become more of a figurehead within the Steel Plague, with few opportunities to make actual decisions.
A growing rumour within the Steel Plague's ranks is that one elder maintains power over the others. Through blackmail and coercion, they have been able to make the other council members follow their lead. While these rumours have not been confirmed and are often denied, it would explain the Steel Plague's sudden shift away from indecision and bickering.
