Several academics have highlighted the existence of a position within the ONA called an "Outer Representative", who serves as an official spokesperson.{{sfnm|1a1=Monette|1y=2013|1p=93|2a1=Senholt|2y=2013|2p=256}} The first to publicly claim to be the group's "Outer Representative" was Richard Moult, an artist and composer from Shropshire who used the pseudonym of "Christos Beest".{{sfnm|1a1=Monette|1y=2013|1p=93|2a1=Senholt|2y=2013|2p=256}} Moult was followed as "Outer Representative" by "Vilnius Thornian", who held the position from 1996 to 2002,{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=93}} and who has been identified by ONA insiders as [[Michael W. Ford]].{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=113}} Subsequently, the blog of the White Star Acception claimed that group member Chloe Ortega was the ONA's Outer Representative,{{sfn|Sieg|2013|p=272}} while in 2013, an American woman using the name "Jall" appeared claiming the role.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=93}}
More broadly, references have also been made to an "Old Guard" of longstanding and senior group members. Individuals linked to this Old Guard have included Christos Beest, Sinister Moon, Dark Logos, and Pointy Hat,{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=92}} although in 2011 they stated that they would withdraw from the public sphere.{{sfn|Monette|2013|p=93}}
