The HH authors have regular meetings with BL and GW top dogs to map out the next few novels. They're not screwing things up, they're following a set "plan" of progress.

I think your username is relevant here...

"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of."
- Roboute Guilliman

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."

Since when were Psykers blamed for the Old Night?

Maybe normal people would think that but not the Emperor. He knew exactly what caused the Old Night.

Why would you get your alternative persona to kill your other body?

He was so powerful that the Emperor saw he was useful, especially since he obviously digged the Imperial Truth.

Everyday people blamed them for old night and at the start of the great crusade they came across worlds suffering under xenos and psyker rule and hence - suffer not the heritic, witch and the unclean to live - but your right though, the big E knew the real reason why.

When was it said he was the Emperor? I know it has been hinted at but I'm going to wait till after the seige of Terra (in HH) to make up my mind if he is or not.

It is theorized that the Emperor created Malcador to be sort of a second body. A part of his conciousness was split off and is inhabiting Malcador.

Which would make sense. When the Emperor was returned to the Golden Throne after the battle, Malcador poured his energy into the Emperor. Which gave him a little time to speak with his subjects and instruct them on hooking him up to the Throne, and also to found the Inquisition.

There is no fluff that actually supports Malcador and the Emperor being one and the same.

It is up there with "The Outsider is the Tyranid Hive Mind" in terms of unlikely fan theories.

So what the significence of the II and XI on this picture?



Its clear that from this we can see the Inquisition symbol in his right hand and the Imperial Eagle in his left. What of the writing on the steps leading up? and the mask? So much mystery around this guy and other than the well documented action during the siege on Terra there is very little known about him.


The Inquistion sign was originally Malcador's personal sigil, in the audio book Oath of Moment, Garro has it carved into his armour as the only symbol of recognition on his otherwise grey, unadorned armour. I think it's safe to assume that after Malcador's death and with the rise of the proto-Inquisition they adopted the sigil wholesale and it's caught on big time.
