Claus Consortium
Claus Consortium is the governing body of all Santas and their families in the Nicholas Hall-Noel and Santa Command Central-Route One Noel Headquarters.
Two Santas guide this. One is Santa Rankin-Bass and the other is Santa Disney, both commonly called Jolly Old St. Nicholas. Santa Rankin-Bass is Santa from the Rankin-Bass Universe. Santa Disney is the Santa of all Disney Christmas Films and Shows.
When the time to retire approaches, Scott realizes he knows little to nothing about his predecessors. The elves seemed oddly casual about the last Santa dying. Betty later talks with Simon about the missing Santa coat, and she says it was made from the coat the original St. Nick wore, the first indication of an origin story to the title. It's revealed that the entire Santa Claus world came from the original St. Nick causing such a swelling of hope that it spawned the magic that created the elves, with prior Santas also magical beings born of the same magic and intended to serve each era a little differently. Scott was actually the first human Santa, selected because his predecessor believed a human Santa was needed to help maintain the spirit of Christmas and Scott had met the previous Santa when he was a child. Bernard outlines that Scott's recruitment was planned ahead of time and allows him to meet all of the previous Santa incarnations.
In conjunction with the above, Carol realizes that she may actually be the FIRST Mrs. Claus. The character was possibly a fanciful marketing gimmick, but she never had an actual predecessor at the North Pole.
A lot of elements and issues around Scott becoming Santa that were implied in the original film trilogy are revisited here. Episode 5 especially "corrects" some previous thoughts. It isn't fully a Retcon, as the details of the magic and legacy of Santa were never explored that much previously:
It's revealed that Scott is actually the first human Santa. The Santas before him were all magical beings, just like the elves. So before Scott, there was no human recruited to become Santa.
It's also revealed that the previous Santa falling from his house leading to Scott taking the mantle as shown in the first movie wasn't a coincidence as Scott (and the audience) thought. The previous Santa planned the accident. Also, Scott was handpicked to be the first human Santa thanks to an exchange between him and Santa when he was still a boy which Scott forgot about. The previous films played Scott becoming Santa as a happy incident that made Scott a better person. This also explains why the elves weren't really shocked or moaning for the old Santa after Scott came as the new Santa in the first movie - they were aware of his arrival.
This also means that the clauses in Santa's contract weren't even a thing before Scott took on the mantle. All the clauses were made especially for Scott in his role as first human Santa, to help him fulfill the role. Especially the Mrs. Clause is revealed to have been made to make Santa have human offspring with magical powers. And the reason for all of this is because while Elves are immortal and unchanging, and the magical Santas are all of their time, a human Santa Claus would be able to change with the times and truly give people what they needed to keep the Christmas magic alive.
