Master of the Legion 5

The Master of the Legion 5 is the leader of the Legion 5. It is their duty to oversee the team, command missions, and initiate members. If the Master of the Legion 5 chooses to resign, they may choose to appoint a new master.

The Master of the Legion 5 is either appointed by the outgoing Master or elected by the members of the Legion 5. A new Master is chosen if the current Master either resigns or dies. To be eligible for the role of Master, the candidate must be in the Legion 5 and hold the rank of Master In Training. A Master either serves for the entirety of their life, or until they resign.

The current and Master of the Legion 5 is Thomas Konju. He became Master under the title of Leader of the Alliance on September 8, 1986 and assumed the title of Master on the date of the formation of the Legion 5, June 23, 2005.

Origin
On June 24, 1957, Thomas Konju won his first duel with Erkhon Stardom. After the duel, Konju pursued a career in comedy which failed in 1968. Konju would fight Stardom again that year and then go on to fight in the Vietnam War. On September 7, 1986, the Second Battle of Ashland took place in which 10 year old orphan Michael Soclin, Jr. helped Konju defeat 4 EET (Elite Eviltie Troopers). Konju took Soclin in and the next day, after arriving at Konju's Towers, they formed the Konju-Soclin Alliance, where they allied to defeat Evilties and other threats.

In the alliance, it was stated that there would be a Leader of the Alliance, who presided over the alliance. The Leader also had the power to assign missions to others in the alliance and to add new people to the alliance. The alliance worked for 13 years until 1999, when Soclin died. The title was voided. Soclin was revived as the Elf King in January of 2000.

5 years later, after the Battle of New York, the Legion 5 was officially formed on June 23, 2005. Later in the day Konju compiled the Legion 5 Official Handbook which transitioned the role of Leader of the Alliance from the now voided Konju-Soclin Alliance to the Legion 5 under the name of Master of the Legion 5.

Powers and Roles
The Master of the Legion 5 is the most powerful on the team and therefore has powers they can use and roles they must fulfil.

Leader of the Team
The main role of the Master of the Legion 5 is to lead the team, even if it is in secret such as Thomas Konju during 2010 - 2012. The Master must train incoming team members and mentor them. The Master can also command members on missions.

Owner of the Base
The headquarters of the Legion 5 is owned by the Master of the Legion 5 and they must care for the property. The Master can also buy training equipment for the whole team.

Ambassador and Representative
The Master represents the team and therefore controls affairs outside of the Legion 5. An example is Thomas Konju's decision to partner the Legion 5 with the military.

Initiator and Appointer
The Master of the Legion 5 can initiate people into the Legion 5. This is typically done in the training room of the base and observed by the other members of the Legion 5. However, private initiations may be done in any room of the base, such as Jack's initiation which was only witnessed by himself and Konju. The Master can also chose to upgrade someone's rank from member to Master In Training if they are eligible.

Eligibility
There are two qualifications for being Master of the Legion 5.
 * Be a part of the Legion 5
 * Have the rank of Master In Training

Appointment
If the Master resigns, or in their dying moments they can choose to appoint a new Master as opposed to the traditional election. The appointment is effective as soon as the previous Master officially leaves the position of Master.

Election
If the outgoing Master either is unable to or chooses not to appoint a new Master then an election is held. To be a candidate for Master they must follow both qualifications listed above. The candidates announce their names and then are added to a ballot. Then every other member votes. Whoever gets the most votes wins and automatically becomes Master.

Leaving the Title
A Master either leaves the title of Master by death or resignation. When the Master dies, they get a special funeral paid by the new Master. If the Master resigns but chooses to stay in the team they once again become a Master In Training and are once again trained by the new Master, regardless of their former title or not. Unless the Master dies, the Master cannot leave the title until a new Master is chosen.
