Given General Vex's line of "show them your mind" and the Emperor's annoyed question to Vex on why he was disturbing him, makes it come of that the "Emperor" might be some mind based entity and that Zane has just become an "avatar" for the being to speak through. It also made me wonder if the people frozen by the Emperor's ice might not actually have had their minds be joined with the Emperor.

plus, the scene seemed to hint at Vex being possibly the true "brain" behind the Blizzard Samurai, given his "suggestions" for what the Emperor should do. I think what he might have said was "might'.
