Some notable hacker monarchs
Some examples for notable Hacker Monarchs, from my Jewish/Secular Israeli and Western (Near East/Europe/North Americas) bias, are:
Aristotle (believed to have been a band of philosophers with a central poster boy figure)
( Jesus may have been a hacker monarch, but I have not studied his teachings closely, and I have some natural aversion towards Christianity as an Israeli Jew. )
Alexandre Dumas (pere)
Richard Stallman / Larry Wall / Linus Torvalds and other Usenet / FOSS hackers with Eric S. Raymond writing the Magnus Opus CatB.
The fictional Jean-Luc Picard
The fictional Buffy Summers being the poster girl of "Web 1.0".
Joel Spolsky / Eric S. Raymond / Paul Graham (programmer) / Lawrence Lessig / Shlomi Fish and other software developers and bloggers / web writers of the ~2000-2014 web 2.0/"open content" revolution.
In Summerschool at the NSA, I believed Summer Glau and Xkcd will succeed me. While other "messiahs" / hacker-monarchs in the past tried to convince everyone else to consider themselves as such, it was only possible after the web became prevalent.
Following the Summer Glau "termination", it was believed that there now can be many simultaneous hacker monarchs, and that people can try to become ones while not dethroning (or sic transit gloria mundi) the previous hacker monarchs. “We don’t die. We multiply.”
