To be the king/queen/emperor or whatever, you still got to have order, even if it is by abusing your powers. No, a tyrant can't be chaotic.

not true at all, to be ruler you need only have the power to force others to do as you say..chaotic evil very much can enslave, the very ideology of "the strong rule, the weak die" is chaos.. ogres are ruled by the largest and meanest, as are Giants from BFG.. there are plenty of dictators and royals that have simply been born into power and rule with complete chaos and abandon.. they are kept in power not because they are personally ordered but because they have lackeys that migate some of the chaos and keep them in power.

tyrants in ancient times used to enjoy such delights as the iron bull, an instrument designed to kill via bioling victims alive within itself, making "music" from their screams - the tyrant that first issued this device had its own creator burned within for simple pleasure.. that's just the start.

"might is right" is chaos in its most primitive, brutal form.. the ruler of an empire does not need to be remotely lawful or ordered, they just have to have the army in their power - if the army keeps them in power they can do what they want, as Joffery said:

"the King can do as he wants!" (as long as his supporters enable his chaos)
