Emperor Palpatine
Emperor Palpatine is the central villain of the Star Wars film franchise—a power-hungry politician who manipulates his way to absolute rule, then reveals himself as a Sith Lord.
His name has become shorthand for any scheming, malevolent authority figure who hides tyrannical ambitions behind a veneer of legitimacy: My boss is basically Emperor Palpatine with a corner office.
