Besides Jarl's and guild leaders anyone is a possibility, and the later has been brought in already.<br/><br/>Once Winterhold and Markarth are solid enough, and I open Solitude, I intend to make a thane.

The links already provided should be able to help with what is known from the games, but if you'd like any help coming up with a more important title, feel free to ask. But as Luna said, you're free to get creative.
