The Executive Committee Director is much like the President or Prime Minister of the Xenosaga universe. This person chairs the Executive Committee and is the most powerful person (politically) in the entire Universe.

The Executive Committee Director runs the government from Fifth Jerusalem, the Federation's capital planet.
