The Empire is largely a (racist) meritocracy, only the most powerful are granted high ranks. And Angral is given a seat on the DC when Malgus isn't. Factoring in a decade of growth on Angral's makes this indefinitely true

@IdrisianGraecus This is partly explained by his codex entry, though:

As Malgus grew in prominence, fighting at the Battle of Alderaan and later during the Sacking of Coruscant, his travels and alliances with aliens--including a relationship with his Twi'lek slave-- marked him as an unorthodox figure. Caring nothing for the power plays common to Sith, Darth Malgus has spent the last few years strengthening his ties to alien groups. He has often claimed that the Empire's ancient prejudices against aliens and constant infighting are weaknesses; to be victorious, Malgus says, the Empire must change.


Malgus probably was offered a seat on the DC, but didn't care about building a power base to maintain one or even being involved in the political elements, considering how much he's shown to despise politics.

In Deceived itself, Malgus deferred to Angral. You can't make assumptions when we know that canonically Angral got the seat, and was likely offered it first. Adraas (or whatever the hell his name was) threatened Malgus with Angral finding out (and Malgus seems fearless, but then again, that could be bravado and all).

All viewpoints point to Angral being at least near Malgus, and Ten Years of growth makes it so that Angral is indubitably > Deceived! Malgus

In Deceived itself, Malgus deferred to Angral.

Because it was Angral's plan:


A militaristic and maniacal Sith warlord famous for his brutal tactics, Darth Angral led the Imperial fleet that sacked Coruscant during the last war. Angral personally executed the Supreme Chancellor and was preparing to force an unconditional surrender when the Emperor unexpectedly signed a peace treaty with the Republic.

Darth Angral was furious to see his victory dissolve into a protracted and unresolved cold war. Although his success on Coruscant opened a path to the Empire's fabled Dark Council, Angral abandoned Sith politics to pursue a private agenda. He spent years after the war consolidating a significant power base.

You can't make assumptions when we know that canonically Angral got the seat, and was likely offered it first. Adraas (or whatever the hell his name was) threatened Malgus with Angral finding out (and Malgus seems fearless, but then again, that could be bravado and all).

Not saying he was offered the seat, just that he had no interest in it or any of the political infighting within the Sith Empire or Dark Council

I guess. I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
