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.
After Nicholas Kerensky's death, the powers inherent to the position of ilKhan began to wane heavily, and by 2947 appeared to lapse completely until the Outbound Light arrived in Clan space in 3048.
