Brutal autocrat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despot

(Other definitions for despot that I've seen before include "One exploiting rule" , "has first of shocks in store" , "Tyrant, slave driver" , "Posted (anag)" , "Absolute ruler, tyrant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
