Master of the Administratum

The Master of the Administratum is the High Lord of Terra who serves as the top official of the Adeptus Administratum, the governing bureaucracy of the Imperium of Man. The individual who ascends to this rank is always one of the nine permanent members of the Senatorum Imperialis. The Master of the Administratum is also the titular head of the Departmento Munitorum which handles all of the logistics of the Astra Militarum, though in practice he or she must also share influence over that bureaucracy with the Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Guard and other high-ranking Imperial military officers.
At least in name, the Master of the Administratum is perhaps the most powerful man or woman in the galaxy, as he or she controls the portion of the Imperial government that is most crucial in the day-to-day functioning of an interstellar state -- its bureaucracy. In truth, the Master of the Administratum handles none of the day-to-day affairs of bureaucratic governance; the role is primarily concerned with ceremony, public relations and the constant political infighting which generally consumed the High Lords of Terra before the return of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman as ruling Lord Commander of the Imperium in 999.M41.
