  This one seems period (I don't really know though).... it also seems to be as 
  appropriate a term as I have EVER seen.  :O)

  Main Entry: au·to·crat 
  Pronunciation: 'o-t&-"krat
  Function: noun
  Etymology: French autocrate, from Greek autokratEs ruling by oneself, 
  absolute, from aut- + -kratEs ruling -- more at -<A HREF="http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=crat">CRAT</A>
  Date: 1803
  1 : a person (as a monarch) ruling with unlimited authority
  2 : one who has undisputed influence or power   

  " I would even like to see "autocrat" replaced by
  "Master/Mistress of the Hall" or something similar.  But even that is
  preferable to the made-up words I see being used.

  End of rant."
