adviser

During that deployment, as an adviser, I met with Iraqi counterparts weekly, sometimes more.

One "adviser" arranges everything nicely in the interests of his country, and then what does the "corrupt" Chinese official do?

He himself went as friend and adviser to the bereaved girl, a position which a certain letter had secured for him.

Woman-like, she threw the blame of her lover's action entirely upon the adviser.

He did not know what had become of her, and the facts he had to lay before his adviser were very few.

You might perhaps have chosen a better man than Del Ferice for your adviser.
