Shiro Mephistopheles is the current ruler of the micronation known as Zenrax, having held the post of Emperor since his election in December 2014, and confirmed for a second five-year term in 2019.. Also the reigning ruler of Stormhold, he has extensive experience in the community under past aliases. Aside from this, he has served as the Master of the Order of the Rose since its founding in the summer of 2003. He is the current, 37th, Chair of the Grand Unified Micronational, since January 1st, 2023, having held other roles in the organization prior to the election.

Outside of the GUM, he represents Zenrax as a Prince-Elector in the Holy Roman Empire, having acted as Vice Chancellor, and, currently, as its Aulic Judge. He also represents Zenrax in other, minor, organizations to maintain its online presence in the community outside of its internal circles.

The Emperor, in his own personal capacity, holds roles in other micronations, including as President of the Privy Council of Vishwamitra, where he regularly advises their monarch on matters of leadership and state. Emperor Shiro has also formerly held roles with varying responsibilities in micronations such as Dracul, Abelden, Austenasia, and others. Notably, he served as the principal advisor and, for a brief term, a co-leader in Aphelia before it joined Zenrax in 2022. He also holds honorary citizenship in Wyvern due to diplomatic services in the past.
