The Revolutionary Council is a shifting title that has been held by thirteen different Councils over the course of the Revolution, each with drastically different ideals. Once an old Council is vanquished, they are given a different name, but The Revolutionary Council continues.
The current incarnation of the the Revolutionary Council is headed by Chairman Korran Goss. He, along with six other Councilors, have executive authority over Galt. While their decrees are sometimes followed piecemeal by outer cities, in Isarn their power is absolute. While political authority was not enough to protect past councils from the eventual ire of the populace, the current Council has successfully directed public opinion, staying in power for longer than any of their predecessors.
