I am not so sure the master is a "who" - but more of a "what."
This is implied by the use of chair. A chair is a position to be filled by a person - a role.
I think the answer is relatively simple. The people we are dealing with are the holders of secret wisdom asserting they are the descendants from a superior species from above. Rather than seeing their role as nurturing or as becoming one with the inhabitants of the world - they have come to embrace the idea that they have a divine right to rule over humanity and treat it as their creation. They believe that the average person owes them for bestowing the gift of civilization and knowledge upon them (true or imagined).
It's important to note that this is simply one way for a person or lineage to look at the same origin story. In a sense, there is the elitism of Ragyo Kiryuin, and the elitism of Satsuki Kiryuin.
"Gentlemen, I ask you; what is clothing?"
-
"Clothing is sin! The original sin!"
"Yes, Clothing is sin. After eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge, Adam, ashamed of his nakedness used a fig leaf to cover it. From the moment humans obtained free will on Earth, they have been destined to cover their bodies in the clothing called sin!
…
We know mankind's sin and make clothing for clothing's sake! So I ask again, what is clothing!?"
Yellow Dragon Empress: "Clothing is the world, the will that binds and covers all; the heavens, the Earth, and human kind."
Translation: "destiny is greater than your plans for humanity, mommy dearest."
S: "Fear is Freedom
Control is Liberty
Contradiction is Truth
That is the reality of this world.
Listen well, you pigs in human clothing, and submit to that reality."
Translation: "freedom is often terrifying. Liberty requires control (of the self). Truth is rarely admitted, and rarely straightforward.
The animal of the human is controlled by fear toward the traps of comfort. The sooner you realize your instincts are played against you, the sooner you can become freed from that system of control."
These are not merely cartoons.

Note the difference between light. One, the deceiver, is prismatic. The other is pure.

"For years I have waited for this day, pretending to obey you.
Fear is freedom
Subjugation is liberation
Contradiction is truth
THOSE are the facts of this world, and you will surrender to them, you pig who fawns over clothing!"
They wrote out the plan, the players, everything right here. Well… Kind of. It's not a 1:1, but all of the key components are present.
