So from Sky Terror we now know the full name of the Sun Emperor in Pachatupa, and even though he's only been quoted in one flavor text so far he's probably an important character so the odds are good that he'll get a card in Rivals of Ixalan. Other than him being a Human with RGW in his cost, though, what might he be like?
A. a quote doesn't necessarily mean this character is alive. this could be a famous line from a long dead king. although modern wotc doesn't really like to use their flavor text in that manner.
B. lets talk about angrath too. (red/black pirate captain planeswalker who will 100% appear in RIX)it's implied that angrath isn't from ixalan so they could be anything. i'm really hoping it's not another human walker though.
EDIT: he's a minotaur. which is exactly what i was hoping for. anyways now we should probably just talk about the sun emperor. he is definitely still alive as was mentioned in the story.

I don't know. The vampire queen also shows up in flavor text and I don't expect her to become a card. For her its the geographical separation, but for the sun emperor it might be a similar issue where the leader of the people might not be as important to the dynamic story as his agents e. g. the leader of the forces he deploys to deal with the race to the lost city of McGuffin-ton.
The focus of the Sun Empire is Dinosaurs not their human baggage. Maybe he'll show up though, but anything Dino-related can go on him. I'd like him to be some kind of reverse Priest of Titania but rather than letting only Dinosaurs tap for mana you get to tap any creature for mana that can only be spent on Dinosaurs (spells and their abilities) - maybe even something that doesn't require smaller creatures like Overlaid Terrain.
A good ramp legendary - if it doesn't need to be tribal, it could also boost a pseudo-tribe like creatures with cmc 6+.

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
