Faction leaders are often both - ooRP, there is plenty of paperwork. In-game, some faction leaders are PvP aces.
I find your logic inherently flawed. You are saying that the player needs to be active to keep the character alive. The game world should be considered persistent unless changed; that is, if the player does nothing on a particular day, when the player returns to the character next, nothing has changed. For example, Admiral Dale shouldn't be demoted since he's deserted his post - it is the player who is away from the game, not the characters.
