The ilKhan is the Khan of Khans within the Clan political structure. This Khan is the supreme leader of the Clans' actions.

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 crisis, acting with the power of the Grand Council. The ilKhan enjoys wide-ranging but not absolute power, as he answers to the Grand Council. The ilKhan may not interfere with matters that are internal to a specific Clan. When the Martial code is in effect, however, the ilKhan may operate virtually unhindered.

Election

Do you swear upon the words of the Great Kerensky that you
will follow the ordained trail through the black firmament of
space, the trail that will ultimately lead us back to Terra to
restore all that was good and pure in the Star League?
Aff. I swear my blood future upon it.

--From the ilKhan oath-taking ceremony
