Background[]
The relationship between the titles of First Minister and Administrator in the Vulcan government is unclear, as both have been used to refer to the individuals who are head of government. The ENT novel: The Good That Men Do affirms that T'Pau is the new Vulcan head of government following the reformation, ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru then established T'Pau as First Minister, while ENT novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing later referred to her as Administrator. The Good That Men Do also establishes that T'Pau is head of both the civilian government and Vulcan military, while Beneath the Raptor's Wing later confirmed the High Command as the military branch of the government. Thus T'Pau as head of state of Vulcan appears to hold to two titles; Administrator of the High Command, and First Minister, presumably the leading figure of the Vulcan Council.
