The consigliere would then frame the issues to the rappresentante in the way he believed most effective and efficient. The consigliere was also expected to step in to assume temporary leadership of a Family if the rappresentante could no longer serve. Consigliere is an extremely powerful position, because he serves as a receptacle of information. He could manipulate a group of people within the Family, for good or bad. One of the serious functions of a consigliere was to protect the interests of the soldiers, and towards this end he was responsible for maintaining a Family's war chest."

He did a lot of research into real people and events, but the way he assigns ranks and talks about other organizational details from the early 1900s seems like guesswork stated as fact. There is one part where he says two guys were inducted into the Detroit mafia in summer 1907 and another guy was promoted as captain over them, but if you check the citation there's no evidence given. Not trying to call the guy out, but I have a hard time taking some of that info about the early 1900s as fact, so hard to say whether there were any patterns that played out in the hierarchy. If he does have obscure sources that say who the boss, consigliere, and captains were that early on, well I'd genuinely love to see them because that'd be an amazing find. The Sicilian info you read could come from Calderone. He talks about the consiglio very closely to what you described.

That Mike Polizzi, son-in-law of John Priziola, would take over Joe Zerilli’s job as Detroit LCN Family Boss ‘with a seat on the Commission’, that Zerilli would become a consigliere of power.
