In English, your Swedish ombud would be a proctor. but since the Scandanavian
countries changed the ombud role over time (etymology according to Wikipedia),
does this matter?
I think we're back to ombudsentity, though Grand Inquisitor has a nice ring to
it.

1. Ombud Formation
Please either call this "ombudsman" or come up with a different word.
The word "ombud" in Swedish (where "Ombudsman" comes from) does
definitely not have the same neutral meaning as "ombudsman" has. In
fact, "ombud" is absolutely not neutral but a proxy that acts on behalf
of someone else.
I.e. "ombud" and "ombudsman" are two different words, and you can not
"just" remove the ending "man" that part from meaning "male" also means
"human".
