In his high position, could he possibly see Mars? (7)

I believe the answer is:

rameses

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in his high position could he' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'possibly see mars?' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'see'+'mars'='seemars'
'seemars' with letters rearranged gives 'RAMESES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rameses that I've seen before include "Egyptian pharaoh" , "Name of several ancient Egyptian rulers - ear mess (anag)" , "Ancient king" , "See Mars (anag) - Pharaoh" , "One of several pharaohs" .)
