Eldrad

Nah, you can accuse Eldrad of being Yoda, maybe, but hardly JarJar.

Jokero Weaponsmith.

I’m going to say Draigo as well. I think prior to the current GK book, 40k did not have a true “Jar Jar” (baring the odd friendly gag at Guilliman and Creed).

Draigo fits the “Jar Jar” classification perfectly in that he’s over the top and out of place with the 40k universe. His fluff is better suited for a non cannon videogame or a comic book rather than an official codex story. He also lacks the depth (or any sort of character trait whatsoever) that makes other characters like Calgar, Abaddon and Grimnar so iconic. Hopefully his fluff gets brought in line (or removed) in the next codex.

Probably Draigo just for the whole "Chaos can't fething kill him no matter what" thing.
Although Sanguinor basically being Jesus with a sword who pops in whenever he feels like it is pretty annoying too.

Ha, I balk at the very suggestion that such a thing exists within my beloved 40k.

While that sounds like a good idea, I have to ask...

What the feth does Trimutive mean?

Are you sure you don't mean Triumvirate?

I'm definitely 100% positively sure that I haven't been spelling and pronouncing the word wrong for about six years because that's easier to say than Triumvirate. Apparently, a certain number of posters are part of some sort of trinity that took offense at a certain poster whose name may or may not be related to the emission of particles through space. Thus, these posters were named (now correctly named) The Great Triumvirate, for there were three, and they did slay the troll.

Abaddon used to be really hated on the internet.

More Mary Sue than Jar Jar Binks, no?

Agreeing with Manchu, I've a lot of complaints about Abbadon until... Draigo.

To spectulate, Abbadon and Draigo are direct contrasts. While Abbadon is the product of great writing in the BL novels and over five editions of lore by several people, the hatred directed his way is due to a misunderstanding of his background.

Driago, on the other hand, is intended to be the opposite side of Abbadon's coin, and is the product of a fairly reasonable concept, but is a product of terrible writing by a person who shouldn't be allowed within 100 metres of the background. Perhaps one of the reasons that he is not accepted is that he is an entirely new concept, as opposed to Abbadon. People recognise Draigo's execution for the horrid thing it is.
