Editing Government in MedHammer 40,000 (section)

==Triumviratus Homines Posterite==
Not officially a member of the government, but just as, if not more, important than the government of mankind. The Triumvirate For the Future of Man safeguards the health and well-being of the Emperor of Mankind and works toward his eventual recovery. The maintenance of the Astronomicon and the continuous work of the Human Webway Gate also fall under the Triumvirate's jurisdiction. However, both are fleeting in importance to compared to their primary concern. 

The Triumvirate’s duty above all else is to aid the Emperor in his recovery and ensure that there are no threats that would impede such a task. When the Triumvirate makes a decision in unison, it overrides all other authority in the Imperium including the Emperor (until he recovers).

The Triumvirate consists of three heads, each of whom represent a different aspect of the Emperor's health and well-being. These men have no additional titles, their name and membership in the Most exclusive position in the Galaxy is sufficient.
;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
:Oversees protection of The Emperor from spiritual and supernatural threats.

In theory each member of the Triumvirate has '''absolute''' authority over their particular dimension of the Emperor's well-being. In practice, the overlap between these domains results in numerous conflicts, resulting in members 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. This room is warded off by both Magnus and the Emperor to prevent any and all interference and knowledge of its location.
*Additionally, when entering the Triumvirate, powerful and secret technology is used, so that all those who enter the sanctorum have no recollection what they have learned or of the events that have taken place within.
*After the Triumvirate adjourns, all members retain no knowledge of what transpired within the sanctorum. Instead, each emerge from the room with a single document, which details the decision that has been made.

===Observation Roles===
On occasion, the Council has brought in one or more individuals to sit in on Triumvirate meetings as observers. Their role is always advisory, and, apart from their consultation, they have no influence in the decision making process. In fact, they are '''not even allowed to be present''' during the decision making process.
;[[Medhammer_40,000_Primarchs#Konrad_Curze|Konrad Curze]]
:The most frequent visitor to the Triumvirate council and practically its fourth member. The Night Lord is regularly called upon by the Triumvirate both for his visions of the future, as well as for his capacity as The Emperor's Executioner. 
;The Emperor of Mankind
*Needless to say the Emperor's own opinion about both his capabilities, as well as his knowledge is always 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.
;Sanguinius
*As warmaster and the visible Head of State, Sanguinius has also been consulted due to his boots-on-the-ground knowledge of the Imperium's current affairs. The Triumvirate is also well aware of his Red Thirst, taking great cautions to ensure any decision regarding Sanguinius and, by extension, the Blood Angels, is done without the knowledge of Sanguinius.
;Eldrad
*Eldrad is the Imperium's preferred representative of the Aeldari, and, as such, will occasionally be 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.
;Fabricator General
:As head of all Forgeworlds and an idicator of the Imperium's scientific capabilities, The Fabricator general has occasionally stood before the Triumvirate on matters of vulnerabilities as well as possible technological issues.
;The Aurelian
*Magnus and Fulgrim's deified Brother occasionally makes an appearance, given his rather unique perspective on the current on-goings of the Warp.
*The Aurelian also is often aware of spiritual sicknesses and vulnerabilities in the Imperium that most would not notice until it is too late.
*It was through The Aurelian, for instance that The Triumvirate learned about Corax's fall to Malal, as well as rumblings about the Black Crusade.
*Because they can regularly consult with The Aurelian, the Council has never felt any need to speak with the Spiritual Lieges themselves. Sidestepping the entire church
;Lady Malys
<!---The Custodians worked with the Dark Eldar before in vanillahammer, now that they are significantly less grimdark, there is more opportunities for cooperation--->
*Archon of Commoragh is seen as an asset when the Council needs of the Eldar's knowledge or capabilities without worrying about the actual eldar.
*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.
;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.
;Demon Primarchs
*On rare occasion, the Triumvirate has dealt with the Demonic Primarchs, usually offering their aid in swerving the great game to the Imperium's advantage.
*This development has only occured starting in M39, after consultation with their father and the Aurelian.
*The most common of these consulted are Corvus Corax, the least common is Alpharius.
*When said demons visit they do so usually with The Aurelian and several C'Tan era technologies present.
