Anchorman
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Anchormen were a type of male witch involved in working with the Peyote Dream runners, providing a constant link to the world.
Their training allowed them to become a bridge between the normal, every day world, and the more abstract noosphere around them, allowing them to be a constant receiver for cultural signals.
The original anchormen died out in 1900, but remote of later eras used them to stay in line, culturally, and the broken remote would treat their pronouncements as divine writ. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
