He appears on a screen in direct communication with the Commander to give him missions by the Council and comment on the overall progress of the campaign.
When the Council fell and the aliens conquered Earth in XCOM 2. The Council Spokesman was the only to remain loyal to XCOM and humanity. He gained the aliens' trust and found out where the Commander was being kept.
After the Commander was rescued, the Council Spokesman resumed a similar role to what he had before. He became a mission provider from behind enemy lines.
