The Mother Confessor is the Confessor chosen by her fellow Confessor's to lead them. She is usually the most powerful of all the Confessors. The current Mother Confessor is Kahlan Amnell.

The Mother Confessor holds the First Chair of the Central Council of the Midlands and her word is final, she is in effect the leader of all the Midlands. She is feared above all others, by the people she represents, because there are many rumors about her terrible power, both political and magical.

If the Mother Confessor is to venture to a land of the Midlands it is a momentous occasion and the ruler of that land is expected to open their doors to her. The Mother Confessor can give orders to a king or queen and expect them to be followed to the letter. She can also remove any ruler she believes corrupt from the throne and will use her touch against any who dare not to comply. She is recognizable as she has longer hair than any woman in the Midlands and wears a beautiful white dress, contrast to her sister Confessors black.
