What follows is a nonexaustive list of some of the more important figures of the Dominion:
The Emperor
Known as Zilab-az before his ascension and subsequent loss of individual name, the current emperor of Zabéara has sat on the throne since the year 2349. Before becoming Emperor, he served as a retainer of the previous Emperor, his cousin. Like all emperors, he is descended from the prophet and saint Uzewel. Well renounced as a wrestler before his ascension to the throne, the current emperor now restricts his activities to those assigned to his office, which is largely limited to resolving constitutional crises when disputes erupt between different organs of the state. The office of the Emperor is personally served by the Black Priesthood.
The White Patriarch
Patriarch Hatuzuli-pzu is the son of a former high ranking military officer who was executed for heresy. As punishment for his father's sins, Hatuzuli-pzu was exiled to a monastery, forbidden from entering the Holy City for 20 years. Despite this setback, Hatuzuli-pzu entered the White Priesthood, specializing in the art of industrial management. As the White Patriarch, he is lord over the White Ministries of the Dominion, which include the Ministry of Edifice Creation & Replication, the Ministry of Edifice Preservation, and the Ministry of internal commodity exchange.
The Red Patriarch
Patriarch Tazaranos-pzu is the son of a former high ranking judge, and furthermore traces his ancestor through his mother to Saint Olgaz. Renowned from an early age for a machine-like ability to memorize doctrine and scripture, Tazaranos-pzu quickly rose through the ranks of the Red Priesthood to become one of the youngest Red Patriarchs ever. As Red Patriarch, he is responsible for the Ministry of Holy Places, the Ministry of Holy Justice, the Ministry of Heresy cleansing, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Converted Aliens, Ministry of the Holy Army, and the Ministry of Orthodox Research.
The Blue Patriarch
Unlike most high ranking priests, Patriarch Zorokin-pzu was born to lowly parents who spent their life savings to enroll while a young-ling in a monastery of the Blue Priesthood. Known for his conniving and grim nature, Zorokin-pzu was once expelled, then later exonerated due to lack of evidence for the poisoning of a rival priest in his youth. Regardless of the truth of the charges and various dark rumours, it does seem that Zorokin-pzu's rivals and superiors had a tendency to die, vanish, or take early retirement before his rise to the highest office of the Blue Priesthood. As Blue Patriarch, Zorokin-pzu is responsible for the Ministry of the Holy Space Navy, the Dominion Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Unconverted Aliens.
