15th Emperor

The Ruler of the Gohma, the 15th Emperor, is an extremely powerful entity. His third eye, high in his forehead, goes out in the shape of one of the great spheres. It changes size at will, and monitors all it sees, and returns to him to relay the information. He lives in a floating, upside down pyramid at the center of the great Gohma spheres. With all the power at his disposal, he would be unstoppable if it weren't for the little fact that inheriting the power of the Emperor enfeebles the mind of the recipient. Basically, inherent in the power is a kind of Alzheimer's. Most of the Gohma are unaware of this, however, and just think their leaders are eccentric. Shaddam did not know of it.

Blood and death plays a vital role in inheritance amongst the Gohma. The preceding Emperor has to die in order for a new one to come into power. And that new one HAS to be a specific Gohma. Like with inheritance amongst royal families, the only way to be in line for the throne is to get rid of all the people who have a blood-claim stronger than yours. Whereas for humans it's really a matter of choice, for the Gohma it is a biological neccessity. The sphere goes to the next one, and if they have made themselves scarce and are NOT dead... well, that is a problem.

Not that the Emperor isn't intelligent! He is. But he is more of a playful, heartless creature. Or at least the 15th Emperor was. It wasn't until he learned that Shaddam had the power to kill him did he get serious. And then he began rooting for Shaddam's enemy.
