However in the aftermath of the Great War in 4E 175, the Head was abolished when Caius Varian was forced to abandoned the title. However the title of Head is vacant until the reign of Marcella Varian who restored the title of Head in 4E 201.

After the death of Marlena Varian II, the title of Head was again vacant and the Council was *de facto* heads for the second time for 35 years, and Pelagius Varian II reinstalled the title as Head and the next four Emperors in the next 180 years. In 5E 658, Emperor Tulicus II died and the title was yet vacant and the Heads was reinstalled as *de facto* heads for the third time for less than two years. The Council lost the Headship to Attrebus Varian in 5E 660 and the next 64 or 65 years, the Varians reigned as Heads. In 5E 725 the Orsinium Conquest of Cyrodiil brought down the Fourth Empire and Orcish Warlord Shamar gro-Rogdul usurped the Ruby Throne, staining Titus Varian III, the last Varian Emperor. After Titus III's death, the Council reinhabited the title for the next 272-273 years, and was elected by various of race representative as heads.

The councilman was banished from the Elder Council and the Eight Council, and the rebellious councilors who rivaled with Romana II, replaced with the loyal ones. The title of head was reinstated, after Romana the Councils named her head.
