The '''Master of the Administratum''' is the title of the head of the [[Administratum]]. The holder of the rank also holds a position on the [[High Lords of Terra]]. Among the High Lords this rank is the most powerful. The Master of the Administratum is also one of the the key directors of the [[Departmento Munitorum]].{{Fn|4}} Accordingly, the holder of this rank is probably the single most politically powerful and influential man in the galaxy. He is known as the ''primus inter pares'', the first among equals on the [[Senatorum Imperialis]].{{Fn|66a}}
The title, however, is purely nominal. As a High Lord, he has no time to devote to the Administratum, and no duties beyond the occasional ceremonial appearance.{{Fn|1}}
After [[Taros]] was declared [[Ex Imperius Rebellis]], the Master of the Administratum signed a document that declared [[Planetary Governor]] [[Aulis]] a traitor and listed over 100 crimes of which he was guilty that were punishable by death.{{fn|3}}
After the rebirth of [[Roboute Guilliman]] following the formation of the [[Great Rift]] the Master of the Administratum, [[Irthu Haemotalion]], lost much of his power and influence to the [[Primarch]].{{Fn|6a6b}} Haemotalion eventually led a coup known as the [[Hexarchy]].{{Fn|9}}
