A procurator is an official who has the power to manage the affairs or property of another person. This role may involve acting as a representative or agent in legal matters, handling financial transactions, or administering estates.

Procurator
Procurator, was an office initially created by Peter the Great, the first Emperor of the Russian Empire, in an effort to bring the Russian Orthodox Church more directly under his control. The Russian word prokuror also has the meaning of prosecutor. Chief Procurator was the official title of the head of the Holy Synod, effectively the lay head of the Russian Orthodox Church, and a member of the Tsar's cabinet. Konstantin Pobedonostsev, a former tutor of both Alexander III and Nicholas II, was one of the most powerful men to hold this post. General Procurator and Ober-Procurator were major supervisory positions in the Russian Governing Senate, with their meaning changing over time. Eventually "Ober-Procurator" became the title of the Chief of a department of the Senate.
