Alderman? Are they related to endermen?
For others (and also myself):
Role: Legislative members of city or town governments, often similar to a city councilor.
Origin: Derived from the Old English ealdorman ("elder man"), historically referring to high-ranking officials or magistrates.
Usage: Commonly used in US cities (e.g., Chicago, with 50 aldermen) and historically in Britain.
