What was the Roman Emperor's role at the Coloseeum?

When a Roman emperor attended games held at the Colosseum, he was the final judge as to whether a gladiator's life should be spared or not. As the emperor, he could basically change the script of the games by adding or subtracting scheduled events. In a certain sense he was the "master of ceremonies" at the games.
