Editing Government in MedHammer 40,000 (section)

==Triumviratus Homines Posterite==
The Triumvirate For the Future of Man acts as the de facto collective head of government for the Imperium. The Triumvirate’s responsibilities also include aiding the Emperor of Mankind in his recovery, safeguarding his health and well-being, and ensuring that there are no threats to him. The maintenance of the Astronomicon and the continuous work of the Human Webway Gate also fall under the Triumvirate's direct jurisdiction.

The Triumvirate consists of three heads, known as Triumvirs. Each one is concerned with an aspect of the Emperor's health and well-being:
;[[Constantine Valdor]]
:Oversees The Emperor's security from physical threats and dangers.
;[[Fulgrim]]
:Oversees the Emperor's recovery, and ensures that he is protected from medical and mental threats.
;[[Magnus the Red]]
:Oversees protection of The Emperor from spiritual and supernatural threats.

In theory, each Triumvir has authority over their particular dimension of the Emperor's well-being. In practice, the overlaps between these domains results in conflict, resulting in triumvirs bickering with each other until cooler heads (most often Fulgrim) can find a compromise.

===Meeting of The Triumvirate===
When the Triumvirate meets, they do so in a secret room in the Imperial Palace called the Sanctorum. This room is warded off by both Magnus and the Emperor to prevent its discovery and any interference.
*After the Triumvirate adjourns, each emerges from the room with a document, which details the decision that has been made.

===Relations of the Triumvirate===
One or more individuals may be brought in to sit on Triumvirate meetings as advisors. Their role is merely for observation and consultation; they have no final say in the decision making process. In fact, they are '''not even allowed to be present''' during the final part of the decision-making process.

;The Emperor of Mankind
*Needless to say the Emperor's own opinion about both his capabilities, as well as his knowledge is welcome.
*Per his own agreement, the Emperor understands that his current role is an advisory one, and, out of courtesy, will leave when the Triumvirate makes its decision.

;Vulkan
*Often called on technical matters.
*Vulkan is seen as a more "neutral" choice, given the inherent biases of Ferrus Manus and The Fabricator General.
*When a particular project needs to be created without the rest of the Imperium or galaxy knowing about it, Vulkan is called.

;Lord Inquisitor
*The Head of [[MedHammer_40,000_Inquisition|The Inquisition]] will on occasion be consulted for knowledge about a particular threat
*The Lord Inquisitor will also be tasked with spcific actions on behalf of the Triumvirate, when receiving such a task they are performed with the Utmost Secrecy.
;Legate to the Katholian Curia
*The [[MedHammer_40,000:_Religion#Katholeans|Katholians]] have a network of spies often greater than that of the Inquisition. Occasionally the Legate is called for sensitive work, usually regarding issues of potential corruption in the Inquisition.
*The Katholian Legate is to The Lord Inquisitor what Vect is to Eldrad.
;[[Medhammer_40,000_Primarchs#Rogal_Dorn | Rogal Dorn]]
:Rogal's architectural insight can occasionally be called upon for highly secret projects.

;Eldrad
*Eldrad was the Imperium's preferred representative of the Aeldari and was occasionally consulted. Following Eldrad's death at The Fall of Craftworld Biel-Tan, the Triumvirate's last reliable connection to the Aeldari world was severed. None among the Drukhari, Ynnari, or minor factions are trusted enough to enter the Triumvirate. While other Aeldari (usually the Drukhari, and Craftworld Remnants) are occasionally contacted, they are kept at arms length.

;Lady Malys
<blockquote>
The Custodians worked with the Dark Eldar before in vanillahammer, now that they are significantly less grimdark, there is more opportunities for cooperation
</blockquote>
*The Archon of Commoragh is seen as an asset when the Council needs the Eldar's knowledge or capabilities.
*Though fees are often exorbitant and suspicious, Vect's "Everything is for sale" mentality has been invaluable at times.
*Malys and Commoragh are also used when the Imperium needs to act in Webspace against or unbenowest to the rest of the Eldar.
