Sadiki

As his predecessor before him, Sadiki's role is to take most of the pressure off of the Pharaoh. While the Pharaoh is to be looped in on all important issues and can override any decision made by any official in his court, the vizier handles essentially everything that doesn't require the Pharaoh's intervention. Burial arrangements, managing tax collectors and scribes, recording trade, taking charge of visitors to the palace, keeping track of the treasury, checking the water supply, and all forms of administration fall under their sway. They were also responsible for watching over the Pharaoh and making sure they were well.

As well as offering advice, they are responsible for the day-to-day running of the country, from agriculture to law enforcement. Those in charge of the many necessary departments would report to them, and they would either make the necessary decisions himself or hand them over to the Pharaoh if it was something requiring his attention. By doing this, the Pharaoh was free to make all of the major decisions and fulfil his daily duties without being overwhelmed with the entire country's needs. In the case of particularly young Pharaohs, a vizier would essentially act as regent until they were old enough to take charge. This, naturally, was not necessary for Sadiki.

The primary requirements of this role are to act according to the law, to be fair and unbiased in judgement, and to not allow personal issues to take control and direct them. They are expected to be intelligent, but also to be pure of heart and soul, as their position makes wickedness far more dangerous. Humility, loyalty and dedication to the country are expected of them.

Naturally, the final unspoken requirement was an ability to handle high amounts of stress and pressure, as this is one of the heaviest and busiest roles in Ancient Egypt. The Pharaoh is naturally able to take whatever duties he wishes off of the vizier and onto himself, but many preferred to leave everything to their viziers.
