The '''ilKhan''' is the "Khan of Khans" within the [[Clans|Clan]] political structure.  This [[Khan]] serves as the supreme leader of the Clans.  
  
When the Clans face a time of crisis or all need to coordinate their efforts towards a common objective, each Clan forms a ''[[kurultai]]'' and the Khans from each Clan then form a Grand Kurultai.  The Grand Kurultai then internally elects a Khan to become the ilKhan who serves as an arbiter between Clans during the time of his or her mandate, acting with the power of the [[Grand Council]]. The ilKhan enjoys wide-ranging but not absolute power, as he or she is accountable to the Grand Council. When the Martial code is in effect, however, the ilKhan may operate virtually unhindered.

In theory the ilKhan may not interfere with matters that are internal to a specific Clan or privilege their former Clan over others. In practice some ilKhans have failed in this regard, most notably former [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobra]] Khan [[Tobias Khatib]], who with increasing brazenness favored his former Clan at the expense of the others before his deposition, and [[Lincoln Osis]], who even after his election as ilKhan apparently remained Khan of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] as well and acted as such, attempting to use the other Clans to bolster the failing Jaguars before their annihilation. [[Brett Andrews]] similarly retained his position as Khan of [[Clan Steel Viper]], and had his motives and legitimacy called into question as well.
