Well recent incumbent made me think of Gilthalion "hobbitus emeritus" but that doesn't help with the rest of the clue, and SpM's clues tend to work properly so unless (once again) I am failing to make an the necessary connections - I am on the wrong track.

OK, OK - you want a hint.

"Recent incumbent" is the straight clue - the answer should not be difficult to find...

The rest is cryptic, but fairly straightforward as cryptic clues go.
