Okay so maybe I started off a whole lot more difficult than I should have. Lesson learned. This should be fun, not a homework assignment. Consider Ep. I a failed pilot of sorts 😛

Rules are simple
1. Do not comment your answer in the comments section
2. PM me your answer/guess. Please keep it to one entry 😉
3. There will be a 24 hour period (from posting time) and entries will close
4. If multiple people give me the same answer, I'll simple assign them a number from 1 to however many, roll a die, and the winner will receive their prize and be acknowledged in the next issue.
5. This is open to anyone from any eNation.

Prize
Due to nobody winning last episode, and generous donation from Rodney Mckay, this prize for this episode will be 4 Gold

Question
I ruled as "the leader" for 23 years, though the last two as a puppet. I put my jackboot on the throat of Africa, only to be strung up by them in a city square so that all may see my demise.
Who am I?
