And we have a winner!!! Except (and I see after posting that you edited your answer and removed this reference) . . .

Pooh-Bah is not the Lord High Executioner. That is Ko-Ko. Pooh-Bah is "First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral, Master of the Buckhounds, Groom of the Back Stairs, Archbishop of Titipu, and Lord Mayor, both acting and elect, all rolled into one" -- in other words, "Lord High Everything Else." (Nobody does this kind of stuff better than Gilbert & Sullivan.)

But I do indeed defer to you, KappaKittyCat.
