Recognising the importance of the Church in the Empire, the Patriarch of Constantinople is invited to attend council.

The composition of the new council, coupled with a Consul of the eunuch faction, has balanced the power of all factions. The even balancing of interests has placed the Eunuch and Senatorial factions in balance with each other, and the Barbarians and Bishops have influence falling only slightly behind.
The Imperial Faction is now in power, although the Senatorial faction still wield the majority of imperial offices.

OoC: Oh yes, sorry. I was thinking of the Saracen instead of the Sclavene.
The Barbarian and Senatorial factions are the most powerful, followed by the other two.

Anthemius, the poor Regent, has been found hidden in a cupboard of the Imperial Palace in Constantinople rocking back and forth in the foetal position... It seems the stresses of the job have taken their toll.
Pulcheria Augusta, the Imperial Sister and nominal regent has quickly sent the man to his Family's estate in the provinces, her respect for him too great to allow him to be disgraced so.
Pulcheria has assumed the regency, reiterating her vow of virginity and prepares for a reshuffle of the Council as follows:
Office in Order of Influence: Holder (Old faction -> new faction)
Great Offices:
Augustus: Theodosius II Augustus (in minority)
Regent: Pulcheria Augusta (None -> Church)
Praefectus Praetorio per Oriens: Zemarchus former Magister Officiorum (None -> Senatorial)
Magister Officiorum: Aelius Ianuaius former Praefectus Praetorio per Illyricum (Senatorial N/C)
Camerarius: Eusebius (Eunuch N/C)
Praefectus Praetorio per Illyricum: Aufidius Fortunatus former Comes Sacrarum Largitionum (Senatorial N/C)
Comes Sacrarum Largitionum: Septimius Drusus first Office (Senatorial N/C)
Comes Rerum Privatarum: Hostilius Priscus (Senatorial N/C)
Other Council Members:
Rex Pannonicae: Aldehoc Rex formerly Lethuc Rex (Barbarian N/C)
Comes Illyricum: Godehoc formerly Lethuc Rex (Barbarian N/C)
Orator Senatus: Falminius Antonius (Senatorial N/C)
Magistratus Extra Orientem: Flavius Saracenus (Eunuch N/C)
Episcopus Constantinopolitana: Atticus (Church N/C)
Military Members:
Magister Militum Praesentalis: Bruttius Tertius (Senatorial N/C)
Praefectus Classis: Ioannes Iulianus (Senatorial N/C)
Magister Militum per Oriens: Alienus Battus (Senatorial N/C)
Magister Militum per Illyricum: Marcellinus Sclavenicus (Barbarian N/C)
Non-Council Offices:
Magistratus Cursi Publicum: Eutropius office created (None -> Eunuch)
The Officium per Cursi Publicum does not hold a council post, not being an office of high honour, but they do meet privately with the Emperor/Regent of matters of intelligence.

Net changes in factions made simple:
Senatorial:
-Gains PPpO, most important official office
-Loses control of Agentes in Rebus
Church:
-Gains Regent
Barbarian:
-Gains additional member
Eunuch:
-Gains out of council influence
Make of this what you will.

OoC: In case you haven't any objections, I'd probably keep it as Imperial Faction, but bump the Church into poll position, since they have the regent. The fact that all factions are involved in the reshuffle, and seems to show no undue influence to me, doesn't sound at all like the despotism of a faction.
