Regent

From SuspireWiki

A vampire who is given either land or influence to manage as if she were a Prince. Naturally, she answers to the Prince, and generally there are rules to his or her regency set down by the Prince, but a Regent is fully able to do what she wishes with her granted territory or items.

(n., formal)

The lord of any domain who receives his authority, territory and/or title directly from the Prince (q.v.), even if he is not strictly the Prince’s vassal. In cities with especially strict feudal codes, the Prince may only appoint Regents directly below his own station in the feudal hierarchy; he may not appoint Regents as vassals of other lords. In practice, the overlords directly subordinate to the Prince, whether appointed by him, a predecessor or some other body (such as the Primogen) is also called a Regent. “You may be my landlord, Haunt, but I am a Regent now, and you will be careful how you speak to me.”
