His Imperial Holiness

His Imperial Holiness was a construct used by the Satraps of the Holy Bureaucracy to maintain order within the Hectariat. They portrayed His Imperial Holiness to be a nameless god, manifested on the mortal plane, who ruled through the Holy Bureaucracy, and his chief ministers, the Satraps. The only religion sanctioned in the Hectariat was that of His Imperial Holiness. His Imperial Holiness never appeared to the people. Instead, he appeared in holograms, or made edicts through his ministers.

In reality, His Imperial Holiness did not exist. The holograms were all forgeries, the edicts were written by the Satraps themselves. The entire concept was a sham, devised by the Satraps to ensure their power.
