Open Lord of Waterdeep

The Open Lord of Waterdeep is the sole member of the Lords of Waterdeep whose identity is publicly known. There is only one Open Lord at any one time, but when the previous one dies or steps down, he or she is replaced by a new one. The Open Lord is mostly a figurehead ruler - political power within the City of Splendours rests with the Masked Lords, of which the Open Lord is a member. The Open Lord is, however, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the city. Additionoally, the political position of Waterdeep means that the Open Lord is also considered the leader of the Lords' Alliance.
The current Open Lord is Laeral Silverhand, who recently deposed Dagult Neverember from the position. Laeral, also known as the Lady Mage of Waterdeep, is a powerful spellcaster and one of the famed Seven Sisters, a family of powerful political players and adventurers said to be blessed by the goddess Mystra herself.
