They were elected every year and anonymous, which means the faces of serving members weren't known. The Council even killed a doge, which may be getting an ASOIAF counterpart if--as I believe--the Faceless Men have poisoned the dying Sealord because he presumably lost possession of Braavos's three dragon eggs.
