In this usage, 'figura' shifts from its literal meaning of 'figure/shape' to describing someone who holds a title but no real power. The non-compositional meaning (powerless symbol) is not deducible from the base word alone.
El presidente era solo una figura; todas las decisiones las tomaba el consejo.The president was just a figurehead; all decisions were made by the council.
