    All I could come up with is......

    Cephaliarch is not a common word in English. It could be a combination of cephalic, which means relating to the head, and arch, which means chief or leader. So cephaliarch could mean head of a group or organization.

    So a leader of a multi part organization that spirals out from the center and changes colors on a whim?
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Assuming that it's just a made up word but maybe based on Latin/Greek:

    "Cephali" is a literal head (body part) from L. cephal- / A.Gk. kephale; it can also denote something which is figuratively or literally first or superior: the head waiter, head of the class, a heading; it can be also used in different forms such as "encephal-" to mean "brain."

    "Arch" as a prefix or suffix is used to denote possession, ownership, leadership, or being a ruler/having power over something or someone: archbishop, archmage, exarch, hierarch, archimandrite

    One possible very free translation might be "Ruler of Knowledge" which would fit Hermaeus Mora's title as the "Abyssal Cephaliarch" quite nicely.

    If you're into cephalopods and you're on Xbox NA check out Dominus Rux's Fogbreak Lighthouse, it's the cephaliarch of houses.
