What does the dungeon master do? The wiki doesn’t reveal anything about their role.

If you're so sure that you're gonna end up killing all of dwarven civilization, why not make a statue depicting 2147483647 dead dwarves, all of which are burning? Name it something good, like Deaddead the Dead Dead Dead-Dead of Dying. Just put it in the main hall or something, as a grim reminder that they're all gonna die.

Historically they were in charge of training animals, but that responsibility has become distributed among all citizens. They still have the token that lists the animal management responsibility, but no fortmode relevance.
Recently the dungeon master gained the "espionage" responsibility. This also isn't relevant to fortress mode currently, but hints to Villains arc improvements.
Right now, it's just flavor and the mild mood buff from holding a position.

In my game the only thing the Dungeon Master has done is demand a office and a dining room.
