I like the Trazyn answer, I mean, how the hell did he get Sebastian Thor's head?

But when it comes to who holds the most knowledge, toss up between Tzeentch and the C'tan.

Thought it was the Iron Warrior's Primarch Perturabo.

"Perturabo was possessed of a keen, cold, and calculating mind well–suited to the highly technical aspects of such a style of warfare. Furthermore, he was gifted with an affinity with technology, and able to debate the finer points of the most esoteric arts with the highest placed adepts of the Mechanicum."

Just because you are a techie, and a cold, keen and calculating thinker doesn't make you automatically the smartest cookie

Malys is describes in much the same way It might make you a contender though

We are talking about the man who blows himself more often than not, thats not intelligence, thats terrorism

Vect's way smarter than Malys, but that notwithstanding, Imotekh, Vect, or a Primarch.

'Lady Aurelia malys is the only archon who has proven able to match Astrubel Vect's soaring intellect time and time again' Pg 53 DE dex.

Sounds like they are roughly on par. She's batgak insane though

I guess you have to define and measure what you mean by "Intelligence."

I really don't think Creed is in the same league as individuals like Imotekh, and Vect when it comes to tactical brilliance.

for humor: The God Emperor of mankind, he has trillions of devout followers, planets conquered in his name, his own palace on Terra, worshipped as a god, and hes doing all this while just sitting on his butt and not doing a thing. That takes some damn good planning.


Now in all seriousness: The title belongs to Macharius, you are talking about a man who managed to get the High Lords of Terra behind him showing great political intelligence, and he was the Alexander the Great of 40k, the only thing that stopped him was his troops cowardice and superstition

Except that they are doing the opposite of what he wanted, on the whole...and he's dead (well..deadish) due to soem monumentally bad calls...


If Macharius was still alive he'd be in the top few.

Reverse psychology and sheer laziness, how did your lazy relatives get their kids and relatives to do stuff, with those two things.
