Behold, envision a figure of unparalleled greatness, a majestic legend whose name echoes through the ag- Ok I’m doing too much. So, Imagine the king is an absolute legend of a hero, and people think he’s ruling over the land but he’s been dead for 50 years and no one knows, and people create a Mythos about him, saying things he never actually did to want to look cool and say they saw him

    The canon keeps it pretty ambiguous whether or not he’s actually alive IIRC. Several of the alien races refer to him as a “corpse emperor”, and obviously human sources in-world are unreliable. Either way, since he hasn’t actually been seen for 10,000 years, the effect is the same as OP describes.
