The O [[Senhor Comandante da Patrulha da Noite|Senhor Comandante]] is the é a autoridade final authority and oversees the entire ordere supervisiona toda a ordem. Any man of the Night's Watch can be nominated to be the Lord CommanderQualquer homem da Patrulha da Noite pode ser eleito ao cargo. A Lord Commander serves in office until the day he diesUm Senhor Comandante serve em seu posto até o dia que morre, when a new Lord Commander is elected by the men of the Watchquando um novo Comandante é eleito pelos irmãos. It is strongly suggested that the Lord Commander is usually a rangerÉ fortemente sugerido que, geralmente, o Senhor Comandante é um patrulheiro. This may be gainsaid by a passage in ''[[A Guerra dos Tronos]]'', in which Jon Snow is appointed a steward and not, to his disappointment, a ranger, and assigned as the personal steward of the current Lord Commander. His peers take it for granted that this means Snow is being groomed for leadership. A combination of these two theories may indicate a "fast track," where suitable candidates for Lord Commander may be placed to give them experience in each of the three disciplines, regardless of which they are initially placed. Ultimately though, the position of Lord Commander is filled by an election, so no one, even fast-tracked, can be guaranteed it.
