He was passed over being the warmaster the first time around, and he was a little butthurt about it then. If he woke up, he probably wouldn't be too keen on playing second fiddile again, much less to Girlyman.
Russ, on the other hand, would probably be more than happy to be the imperium's executioner again. Russ seems most likely also simply because the
SW codex is suspiciously late, at this point, and would be a good foil to Magus' release.
I dunno if he WOULD be happy as executioner, after Propsperio he began to be weary of it. I suspect if Russ returned he'd insist on his autonomy.
