Evidence seems to suggest he just acts as a 'figurehead' and let's  Xestris. handle running it. I mean what's the point of bothering at all and not just remaining at his post in the tower? He wouldn't have been introduced at the Gathering? (Doylist answer.) Well if nothing else, we have reason to believe that people can't live in the tower indefinately without becoming some kind of abomination like Wendis. Having a headquarters to enter and exit the tower from makes things a whole lot more convienient too. Someone like the Anak might not want to live in a country ruled by someone else, and possibly only took over just so no one could tell him what to do. He may have already ruled Philon before he started tower walking as well.
