I think that an element I didn't see that should be part of this analysis is the overall dynamic behind the primarchs discussed in Scars, during the battle between Mortarion and the Khan. Say it ain't so!?! The origins of Malcador remain a mystery, and are unknown save to the Emperor himself. We know the sacrifices that must be made. Mortarian's immovable object v. the Khan's irresistible force, for example. Horus froze, his limbs locked fast within his armour. This time - Magnus dies - a loyal son; and that will lead Russ further to damnation. No doubt about it that Perty's resentment of how unloved, unnoticed, and unrecognized he is compared to his other brothers would lead him down the path of turning traitor to the Imperium. Remember that his main falling out with the Emperor was refusing to spread a lie. But at the same time, presenting a scenario wherein the Great Crusade continues according to plan, Horus does not fall too early, and all astartes are expected to fight and destroy one another - paving the way for humans to reign supreme... would also mean we have to go beyond established canon. The Imperium needs victories more than ever. Why is that? I would assume that the Cabal would tell them to bide their time, only siding with Horus until the very end - where the Imperium's existence hangs in the balance. They are not my hands. He knows it; his brothers know it; there is some deep resentment and jealousy in him. According to Malcador himself, by the time of the Horus Heresy he was over 6,700 years old and remembers his date of birth to the second. But somewhere along the way, Magnus and co. had to do something drastic due to some grave occurrence (let's say Lion turning traitor), that makes the Emperor angry later on. And, at the end of it all, his remaining loyal sons die (none the wiser of the grand scheme); and his traitor sons (including Horus who finally does turn), also die out. And, more specifically, the Khan suggests that they may even match off in groups of two or three. EDIT 2: An additional and even more detailed explanation can be found in this comment as well. (Which is a good thing, its how he should be portrayed). Slowly, Malcador stood, holding the primarch in place with the power of his mind, and nothing more. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Doubtless he was imagining all the ways he might tear the Sigillite limb from limb. Manus didn't hate the flesh, his sons were just myopic idiots. I would very much think of this as a long-term occurrence. Horus stood absolutely motionless, save for the twitching of his fingers. A 9v9 setup essentially means balance - and therefore a 9v9 setup will escalate, then plateau, before reaching a tipping point. This is why description for Russ had been - "Prospero" happened - Russ would still be sent as an executioner to bring Magnus to heel; but this time someone (or something) else is pulling the strings that would lead Russ to be more bloodthirsty when he lands on Prospero. How do you think the Heresy would pan out had it gone according to Big E's and Malcador's plans? ‘While our great Emperor is absent from the Throneworld, I carry His authority, and I act in His name. Which ones would have turned traitor immediately or eventually? What gives you the right to decide that, in secret, behind closed doors?’, Malcador glared at him. Let's assume that (as it has been for the headcanon of a lot of folks reading the lore) - Russ was sent to eliminate the two unruly Primarchs (II and XI). Official lore and fan fluff are welcomed. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Especially since so much of the nature of the rebellion depends on the actions of chaos. It's not that unreasonable as a long term goal, imo, and actually helps to explain a few things about the Emperor's decisions, like why the legions are kept relatively small, or why certain obvious bad actors are allowed to continue to operate. Malcador released Horus. No matter the outcome, because balance exists, both sides have to win and lose at the same time. The Khan was also considered to be very wise and thoughtful. He appears in a few short stories and audio dramas. He's got a few decent scenes in Flight of the Eisenstien, A Thousand Sons and The First Heretic. The problem as I see it is less the idea that there was ultimately going to be a thunder warriors style cull, and that they'd expected this particular kind of encounter all along. The primarchs are gone or banished. Emperor's executioner, turned the guy who wants to execute The Emperor himself. ‘You must release him. As Malcador’s story would suggest - the world they were building was for humanity, and not for the legions. 'I cannot see the Five Hundred Worlds. As the Great Crusade drew to a close in the early 31st Millennium, the Imperium had achieved its greatest victory yet during the Ullanor Crusade against a massive Orkempire. Angron had absolutely no chance... no chance at all... whether it was his life before The Emperor found him, to the moment that he was found. And that counts for something. The Legions served their purpose before going the way of the Thunder Warriors. This fact is forgotten by my brothers - inexplicably, it has always seemed to me. ‘We know the price of destiny, Lord Regent. However, whenever the strongest psykers in the verse are referenced, we always get the Emperor, Magnus the Red, and Malcador on the list; the top three spots, and they are, of course, human. Because whatever the lost Primarchs did, it could spell disaster if knowledge of it was released to the public. Yep... there is no way Lorgar does not become a baddie. Kindly consider these entries as what-ifs. ‘Lord Regent,’ he urged, holding out his open hands. You know next to nothing about the man who founded the Inquisition? While I can understand Malcador being pissed off to the point he no longer acts subtly, seems odd for Horus to act like that and in front of others. Manus actively disliked his hands, and even his son's mania about augmentation, saying thus: They must be weaned off this practice before it becomes a mania for them. He shuddered uncontrollably, pressure building in his muscles as he fought against it. The stench of burning hair rose in his nostrils. But a long-drawn out scenario, where the Crusade continues, presents some interesting dynamics. ‘This was your father’s command, boy, and you all agreed to it.
