 Procurator 1. One that manages anothers affairs : AGENT

            2. An officer of the Roman empire entrusted with management of the
financial affairs of a province and often having administrative powers as
agent of the emperor.
            3. One that obtains or gets something (as supplies) esp. regularly
or in an official capacity. >>

Again, tho the word is good linguistically, it sounds rather too much like
"procurer", which has unpleasant connections in many minds. . ..
