Patriarch
The head of a noble house in the city of Umbar is always a woman, and is known as the house's matriarch. Meanwhile, the house's Patriarch has little political authority that is not derived from his wife.
However, most houses do have specific roles they traditionally bestow upon their patriarchs.
For example: the patriarch of House Vátrodotho serves as Sun Captain of the Copper Guard; the patriarch of House Mílaukë serves as personal protector or "Sunguard" to the Radiant; and the patriarch of House Khúsoë serves as gravekeeper of the Catacombs.
