Well, High Councilor, even if Motierre was such on the elder council, can only be regent in place of Emperor, in case of said death without any heirs. However, only for as long as they cannot find a replacement...or until someone within nine provinces, assembles an army and takes ove Imperial city, crowning themselves Emperor. I mean that had happened before. For once Titus Mede II ancestor did that and Talos' friend Cuhlecaine, with Talos' help almost got the crown, but was murdered just before that. Weather it was by Talos or not, doesn't matter. Besides, High Councilors are known to be assassinated too, if they interfere with someone else's ambitions. Like High Councilor Ocato, was Assassinated by Thalmor because he was trying to show them all for who they really are. Plus, Ocato was probably the only person alive back then, who could tell the world that Talmor did not end Oblivon Crysis. Perhaps hero of Kvatch could testify too, but he's too busy being a Mad God right now.
