BRG pitches a thought.
I wonder if they use the title "Sire" similar to the way we use the title "Lord".
In our parliment, we have a number of politically appointed Lords( usually ex ministers or shadow ministers) and a number of hereditary Lords. But senior judges also are given the title of "Lord" eg- Lord Justice Wolfe. In the Royal Navy the head officer has the title 'First Sea Lord'. And the top religious leaders in the country- Archbishops, Cardinals, Rabbis ect, all have the same status as Lord's, and are given seats in the Upper House.
So perhaps the term Sire is given to anybody in such a high position in Colonial society, including but not exclucivly the Council of 12.
