The "eight executors [were] adjudicators tasked with commanding those beneath them, implementing the Brotherhood's laws, ordering the administration of their judgments, and answering directly to Miserix's lieutenant, the high executor Teridax." Similarly, a prætor was a "[magistrate] who resided in vast universal regions, serving as representatives of the Brotherhood's interests, while mediating disputes between various Makuta and their respective regions, and reporting to their local executors." Source: Brotherhood of Makuta. I'd like to point out that this seems to be a creation of the C.I.R.C.L.E., rather than being canon BIONICLE information. Further, what an executor would actually implement is quite vague: The Makuta were basically just placed in different Domes to ensure that the Matoran did not start another disturbance like the Matoran Civil War.
