MALCADOR THE PERPETUAL? 

i love the series

It’s safe to say most new fans (including myself) were interested due to the lore.

Yea I don’t give a shit about the board game but I love pretty much everything about the lore.

It took cadia a few thousand year. It only took him a few months

Are you sure cadia blew up? Wanna take another look, just to be sure? Just walk down this dark alley for me. No no no no this bolt pistol is in case we get in trouble, nothing else.

Cadia broke before the Guard!

Oooooof

HA!

Might the mistake in the title be a slight sign of heresy, i question?

Henceforth, and always......

I love your lore videos sooooo much, I get guse bumps, you tell it in so much pashion, and I love it and love your work,.... Sorry my Englisch is not so good, I'm from Germany

My fav quote about Malcador: "He stood on par with the post humans, but he was just a man" Which is why in my eyes he was way more deserving on the title of Emperor than the thing that claimed the title.

Malcador the man that made 3 primarchs quiver in there metal Indies lmao

GW should just send him the entire black libary collection, he is excellent.

In reality they're just Fabius Bile clones

The dont re-appear somewhere else. They come back at the location where they died.... apart from the only single time that the emperor brought Vulcan back on nocturne....

Not from the Golden Throne draining them dry.

@@mt975 Nah he reappeared in a Galaxy Far Far Away as a little green guy

@@pichofiraviyah8492+ Don't you dare disgrace the likes of Malcador and Olannius Pile by even insinuating such a thing. Just mentioning them in the same sentence is bad enough. Go wash your mouth out right now!!

@Blake Pinette well it is implied that the reason the sisters of silence weren't allowed to speak because they could see what the emperor looked like without physic clocking

@@brycemcewen6146 I seem to remember in a bit of fluff around one of the primarchs first meeting the emperor that the primarch for a few moments sees through the psychic bedazzling. He sees the emperor's true form as a man without any remarkable features.

@@user-sd1ry6jw3u exactly as well it is implied that the reason the sisters of silence are forced not to speak is that they can see what the emperor truly looked like

@@user-sd1ry6jw3u that would have been Corax i recall.

William Ings you are correct.

I believe he was the last shaman, as the legend says the shaman committed mass suicide to birth the big E, but I believe a single one was selected to stay, to help mold and grow the big E, and that was malcador. it explains why the big E seems to have grown in psychic power after being placed on the golden throne, as it was after malcadors death, and his power, would have been finally added to the big E, completing the eons long process started by the shaman thousands of years ago. It also puts more weight on the side of this being the big E's plan all along.

@@specter86fl Other than the fact malcador isn't that old.

@@the_dropbear4392 does he have to be? would it not also work if malcador was a descendant of that last shamen?

@@Phenixtri Other than all of them commited suicide. And malcador is only 6300 years old, and the empeor is 38,000+

The_Drop Bear and pious is far older

Malcador started working with the empeor during the DAoT

DAOT?

@@Gregory-the-small Dark age of technology (although it's actually a golden age) it's before the age of strife when humanity was at its strongest and most advanced. All the tech the impeirum has now is just DAoT throw aways

Could be that Malcador is older than the Emperor. A returning shaman or psyker which sacrificed himself so that all psyker potential was concentrated in one being to escape consumption by war entities. Although I believe retconned, the old chaos books detailed it as such. Also, that there are many actual sons, offspring of the Emperor scattered through out the Imperium. I believe they were called Ronin. Perhaps all perpetuals like Malcador are actually blood sons of the Emperor.

@@Mantyszyger We know malcador is much younger than the empeor, he is 6300. The empeor is 38,000+. Also he can't be one of the Sharmans returning as they all died

Nice reference. I imagine there was probably at least a little bit of inspiration there considering Malcador's obvious bit of tech attached to his throat along with the fact he is, y'know, a ridiculously powerful psyker as well.

Never heard this theory but the more i thibk abou it, the more I see it as low key actually one of the best I've heard. Perhaps becoming a "monster" so to speak due to necessity in order to get humanity ready for what was unavoidably coming and collecting everything he could to aid the Emperor when the time was right. Moreover, it would also explain why he's so physically old despite being a perpetual who all, as far as I'm aware, stopped aging around their prime.

I've seen this theory before and I'm interested to know where it comes from. I was under the impression that the Throne merely amplifies and expands the user's power by basically hardwiring them directly into the raw energy of the warp itself - which in turn they need to be tough enough physically to deal with or it will fry them. After all, the souls of all those dead psykers are sacrificed to keep the Emperor's psykic self (soul) empowered and prevent it from splitting apart under the strain of what he's had to do for the last 10,000 years. I don't know where the idea of it feeding the Throne itself comes from. . The Throne is also a life support system too don't forget and it is actively keeping the Emperor's body alive while the psyker sacrifices provide the power to keep his soul together. That's why people are so terrified of the Golden Throne failing - because rhen the Emperor's body would die and his would might well be lost (at least that's the fear). It seems awfully counter productive to me for a life support system to keep your body alive but also drain your soul.

He's not old enough for that. He's only 6300 years old, not 38,000+

This would be so cool. Just as a random side note or offhand comment in a conversation that gives us just enough information to make it obvious what they are saying to us as readers but not enough to make much sense to most of the people in universe.

Lt James Cooper Mason Tough.

He's not

You mean in all of them

It doesn't eat souls, that's the fires of the astronomicon. Literal fires.

Sanguinius was definitely the correct choice for Warmaster in terms of his own character, though I have a feeling that in the long term it wouldn't have worked out very well. Sooner or later the Emperor would have found out about the Blood Angels' gene seed being unstable and it likely would have led to the annihilation of Sanguinius' Legion. Sad stuff.

@@jackrogers5712 You make the assumption he didn't already know. I find it hard to believe the Emperor didn't know or at least suspect the flaws of the gene-seed the Wulfen, red thirst, or the flesh change among other afflictions. They crusaded a long time without there Primarchs

Guilliman, the guy who saved the imperium...?

@Ved Singh It was a choice based on Guilleman's own guilt of the heresy one for not being present at the Seige of Terra and the imperium secundus. Guilleman was also a hypocrite giving his own Chapter 11 companies but demanding everyone else maintain 10.

@Ved Singh For I am son of Sanguinous. But I am an Angel no longer my founding Chapter Master was Amit and Guilleman turned brothers into cousins and broke legions not with a sword but with the pen. Who would nay say the Avenging Son Corax with his broken legion, Vulkan with less than a thousand marines, certainly not poor Ferris Manius who was cut down on Isstavan, Certainly the Lion if he was their but the call to Caliban was to strong, Leman Russ dealing with his own guilt as the Emperor's executioner, The Khan only to glad to disband and go their own way again, Sanguinous would not of had it but his voice to was silenced. That left Dorn and Amit both who said no. But Dorn's own grief and wounded pride would bring him to Guilleman's thinking. Amit was over ruled and became the first Master of the Flesh Tearers. But what did Guilleman's slaying of the legions accomplished when the beast arose a thousand years later would not a legion of been better than desperate chapters there dozens of examples where legion strength would of been enough to turn the tide. But he hamstrung the Imperium better than Horus ever could

Great book talons of horus...I did read it..thats why I hold out hope for bringing back the angel..great times in 40k

Have you read the - The Talon of Horus - there is info in this that bringing back a primarch may be done , dont want to say to much spoiler fuel

Then why do we have whole sections of personal conversation just between the two of them. Also other perpetuals met the empeor long before malcador was born
