Steward is a period term for someone who is in charge of something.  As cook 
is a period term for someone who prepares food (feastocrat).

I, for one, do not like the proliferation of '-ocrat' titles.  Some of them 
just get plain silly.  Like nasty-crat for the person who cleans the privys. 
  Then there is the land-ocrat, equi-crat, trollocrat, thisocrat and 
thatocrat.

If there are period titles for jobs, lets use them.  If there aren't period 
titles, don't just stick -ocrat after the end of the function.
