Who is the current Emperor?

In the lore, who is the current leader of the Empire, what are his political goals, and what troubles does he face in leading the nation?

If the Wiki doesn't mention it... I guess there's noone tangible.

I also take it, as there's not a definite date or year mentioned to be used in FM's, there could be multiple "current" Emperors.

As the missions hint, it looks like a feudal theocratic society, run by the Builder Priests.

The Builder church, according to the wiki, does hold a lot of political power, but ultimately the emperor is still in charge, at least in theory. Plenty of stories featuring blackmail and borgia to be had, eh?

I see TDM as a medieval feudalism, with a king (maybe) and barons, but subordinate to the church and the Pope, holding the governing power.
