The Consensus is the ruling body of the City. Formed at the end of the Faction Wars, the Consensus is an alliance of the City's factions with the Vanguard. Only certain factions are allowed in the Consensus; the former faction Concordat were ejected when they attempted a coup against the Speaker. Others are permitted in by the Consensus's approval.[1] The Consensus allows factions to pursue their agendas through legal, civil channels. The Speaker acts as the head of the Consensus, with each faction and Vanguard order having one representative.[2]

Following the Red War and the death of the Speaker, Commander Zavala became the acting head of the Consensus while its members worked to create a system to elect a new Speaker to become the leader of the Consensus.[3]
