He's essentially a former abstract that personified everything in existence through creation that has provided itself with a human form and sentience as we understand it. He wants to explore life through becoming it and has adapted a role for himself gathering a following that he has committed himself to overseeing. AND TAKE THAT BACK!

But while he retains god-like power, through his self-appointed role,him slowly becoming the mask, and his powers over creativity, he prizes his humanity and his quest for power is just another aspect of it. He allows his people to be the architects of his empire and see the value of their work despite that he could easily recreate it alone. He's focused on retaining most of his control and their loyalty because while he seeks power, they are also all his trophies so they are not expendable in his eyes which is also why he sends robots and droids instead of lifeforms. But he also wants the people to govern themselves which is why he created the U.P.P. to do most of the official leadership duties while the common population only knows his name because the U.P.P. allegedly uses it as a tool to control them.

He's merely overseeing his empire from afar while he already has his self-sufficient system running... if he's even real.
