The Conduit to the Senior Partners was a high ranking position within the Wolfram & Hart hierarchy originally occupied by Mesektet, but later by an unidentified dark entity that for a time appeared in the form of a black panther, but later, when Charles Gunn approached it in an attempt to save Winifred Burkle from being taken over by Illyria, it appeared as Charles himself. It was at this meeting that the conduit confirmed that the physical form of the Conduit was determined by the viewer.
