The Expedition Leader is a noble that is appointed when you start you game. It is not possible to choose a new expedition leader while the current one remains alive. Your first expedition leader is semi-randomly chosen from the starting dwarves. Giving one dwarf social skills will greatly increase the chance that this dwarf is chosen as the leader.
The expedition leader is responsible for meeting with the dwarven outpost liaison to create import and export agreements. In the process, he uses the following skills:
Be warned that if your Expedition Leader is set to perform any other tasks, he may be too busy to meet with the Outpost Liaison. Enabling another task in the middle of a meeting will interrupt your Expedition Leader! If the caravan leaves the map without the Outpost Liason, he has a tendency to go berserk.
Toady One has also stated that the Expedition Leader will listen to the complaints of other dwarves, making them happier. You can think of him as something like your fortress psychiatrist in this manner. In doing this he uses the skills:
When the population of a fort reaches 50, the expedition leader becomes the Mayor.
