If Pathfinder had a brand-specific term for "Gamemaster", what would it be?

cross-posted from: https://aussie.zone/post/1840902

A lot of RPGs use a specific term for their game to refer to the gamemaster of that game. D&D obviously has the Dungeon Master; the Storytelling system (used by Vampire: The Masquerade) has the Storyteller; Call of Cthulhu has the Keeper.
If Pathfinder was going to have its own unique term rather than using the generic Gamemaster, what should it be?

Path Master / Path Maker are probably the most spot on here, though it is missing some spice .. how about Journey Master, just to phonetically spite wotc lol JM
Venture-Captain seems like the obvious one.
- I'm not actually familiar with Golarion lore. Is that the name of the head honcho of the Pathfinder organisation?
  
  The head of the Pathfinder Society is a group of 10 individuals called the Decimverate. Below them are the heads of local lodges called Venture-Captains who call Pathfinders to go adventuring.
In the time since I first asked this question on the now-defunct pathfinder.social instance, another fun example has come up: Draw Steel!'s "Director".
Trailblazer?
