The word for today is…

consigliere (noun):

: a person who serves as an adviser or counselor to the leader of a criminal organization

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consigliere?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : The word consigliere comes from Italian and has been a part of English since the 17th century; it was originally used of someone who served on a council in Italy. Currently, it most commonly refers to advisers to the Mafia—a use that first appeared in English in a document from a 1963 session of the U.S. Senate. It is also used more generally for someone who is likened in some way to such an adviser.
