Well, his major flaw was that he was a tremendous douchebag with no interpersonal skills.

Well I wouldn't necessarily go that far; after all, we've yet to see his side of the story. Even still, I'd say his seeming lack of interpersonal skills with some Primarchs was due to his emotions - he clearly had a favourite, and it's entirely possible that anger or frustration at the actions of some would make him less inclined to actually do things the nice way. Lorgar, for instance, may have incredibly infuriated him, leading to a zero tolerance style thing. If Horus had started worshipping the Emperor, I doubt the same result would have occurred.

Man. If he got divorced, she'd get half of...everything.
Harsh.

Yeah I have heard that women don't like men like that.

Oh by the way; DIE FOR YOUR HERETIC TONGUE!!!!!!!!

The Emperor isn't interested in women. He has his eyes set on men! Big beefy masculine genetically enhanced men! 100,000 of them!

Well, I hate to sound like this but what would be the point? To watch your loved one age before your eyes as you remain young and healthy, and to see them perish?

AKA, the characteristic that The Lion inherited.

No way Big-E is, uhh, Fabulously Advantaged(tm). We all have seen the IoM's taste in interior design.

He's essentially immortal and lived for tens of thousands of years, while he would have children (doesn't have to worry about living with the consequences, just wait 60 years or so), having a lasting mate would be

a) impossible due to longevity (if you marry a girl and you're both in your twenties, and you stay in your twenties while she grow old, would you stay interested?), and

b) He's seen the best and worst of humanity's growth as a civilization, when you've gone through all that, you also lose interest in a lasting mate.

and finally, he has the psychic powers that could rival a god. Any mortal women (or man, as the case may be) is uninteresting sexually when you realize you can bend reality as a hobby.

the Emperor had various mates throughout history and had many natural children(male and female)


His Sons all inherited strong psychic ability.

no word on what the girls got.


all of them are also immortal.

The girls or the sons? I would think only the Sensei were immortal, not the mates.

yeah, just the Sensei.

He is a monk, do you see Space Marine with wives?

But..uh... aren't space marine rendered...errm "Weaponless"? After the procedure? Not that Slannesh couldn't give them a slimy and slippery tube like arm or two

Did any of the Primarchs spawn? I am assuming not. There is some potentially humorous fluff there. Yes, they are demi-gods amongst men, but they all are disinterested in the ladies or fire blanks. The different cultures on the various planets that the Primarchs landed must have viewed the lack of their potency in bed differently.

common misconception.


they are armed,

the real question is "are they firing blanks?"


Marines don't lose their junk. they are most likely rendered sterile by the process though and they certaintly lose sexual drive(except for Space Wolves, who rut like...well, dogs)

Slannesh can return their lost libedo

Russ certaintly didn't. he was quite the ladies man.

When you're the Emperor of mankind, why have a wife when you can have a harem? Why would you marry when at best they will die and the love placed in them lost, and at worst they become a liability as people use her as a way to get to you.

I don't see why the Emperor would marry under those respects - I certainly wouldnt.

Pretty sure the Emporer is Gay......

Doesn't "The Golden Throne" just sound like a somewhat suspect club? Like some kind of euphemism you don't quite get but that still makes you a bit wary?

nah, the Emperor caught the Flu-bug from Horus that Nurgle gave him.

the Emperor has been sitting on the royal john ever since.

Maybe he was gay

Wouldnt they be talking about his attraction to men if he was gay? As it is, the Emperors sexuality is never actually brought up...

except for the fact he had children.

clearly not gay.

Grey Templar wrote:except for the fact he had children.

Whose to say his genetic modification stopped with creating superhumans? What's to say that he didn't.. experiment.. on his boyfriends?

mabye he is to busy sitting on the golden "throne"

Why do you think the Inquisition was created....It was to kill anyone who spoke out against the emporer being a homo.

I don't believe he's gay: According to Lexicanum (referring to the Sensei and thev Star Child), "Although a man of unparalleled, god-like powers, the Emperor was still a man, and throughout the many millennia of his life on Terra had fathered many children. A few of their descendants had inherited some of the Emperor's power, including agelessness, and survive into the Age of the Imperium. "

I just don't think he'd have a last relationship given his power. This thread is being de-railed a bit here.
