Did Perpetual Damon Prytanis assassinate Robert F. Kennedy? He assassinated "The brother in the city of Angels." RFK was John F. Kennedy's brother, and Los Angeles is Spanish for the city of angels.

Or it could have been Tupac!

Tupac who?

Someone that had a feud with Big e

Except we know who killed RFK. Sirhan Sirhan, who admitted to the crime. Unless you are saying Sirhan Sirhan is somehow Damon Prytanis? Please stop making threads like this.

Same goes for MLK with James Earl Ray.



And I was just curious about this.

I am not disagreeing with anyone. I'm just saying its a possibility.

My copy of the book is in another country right now. But wasn't the 'Brother in the City of Angels' assassination described as having happened a thousand years after the 'Good Man in Memphis' one?

there's just eneugh detail to make people wonder if it may have been intended to referance political assasinations in the US, and just eneugh to make it suspect.

which I'm sure was the writers intent

I don't think so.


EDIT: I checked, and it does say that. Oh well. It would have been cool.

But again, for all we know, the "Good Man in Memphis" was Pharoah Teti in original Memphis in ancient Egypt.....

So, (currently) The Bar. Never trusted that Cesaro...

Also, over/under on how high the OP is right now?

It wasn't called Memphis (or Men-nefer/Memfi) in Teti's day, though... /nitpick

And are you alright? I just proved the Emperor was born in Anatolia with the Perpetuals. And the Emperor has nothing to gain, as very few people know or even care about Old Earth,



But enough of that. This is about Perpetual Damon Prytanis. Oh well. It would have been cool if it was RFK.

Do you even realize we're playing a fictional game? No, none of the fictional characters from our fictional game has killed anybody from the real world.

All of your threads are like this. 40k lore is a mess which was made up by a gazillion of writers many of which contradict each other. Get over it. It's nothing but intentionally trashy scifi with no hidden deeper meaning.

You I don't know that? I know there is not canon in 40k. I was just discussing the lore.

Still theres no point in asking "could this be or could that be". We do not know period. If something isnt clearly covered by the lore its not like it's a thing but noone has written about it.

If it's not in the lore it isnt part of the 40k universe. Theres nothing to "find out" about it because it is not a real universe where things happen that just not get written down. Do you get my point? It's fiction.

Edit: Honest question because i'm really curious about it: Do you even play 40k?

OK, while some of his threads are thin, crapping on idea of personal interpretation or conjecture to have an interesting discussion is equally silly. 40k has a long, extensive and rich background and exploring it is a lot of fun for many players.

Taking a single cryptic comment from the lore and connecting it to discredited conspiracy theories IRL belongs in the offtopic forum, not in the background forum.

Alright. But I thought it would be suitable for background since it is about lore. I'll do that next time

Although the meta aspect of this thread is getting off topic, I suggest the background forum is a better place for the 'ancient history' of the 40k setting than off topic.

It seems to me these little plot points exist in the setting as Easter eggs for discussing how the 40k framework fits over real history, that presumably forms the ancient history/prehistory of 40k.

ignore him dude you're not the first person to suggest that this could be what the author meant (IMHO he wanted people to wonder if thats what was implied) it's more worthy of debate then yet another "why I hate Primaris Marines and why you suck if you like them" thread

and no it's not offf topic, unless you think he was asking if this applied in real life, as w1zard has noted, there are conspiracy theories out there about it already, whatever happened in real life is irrelevant to what may have been implied to have happned in the game setting history.

No. Absolutely fething no.

We know who killed RFK... Sirhan Sirhan. Unless you want to make the argument that he was somehow framed, in which case this discussion definitely belongs in the offtopic forums.

This thread may as well be "Is Trump the Emperor? Hints in the lore give us clues!". Just because lore is being mentioned does not mean it is a valid discussion about the background of 40k. This thread is the equivalent of a shitpost.

Yup, gotta agree with W1zard here, this is pure verbal dioarreah at its finest.

OP needs to understand about the concept of "closed doors". Writers will leave little titbits like this in backgrounds of things all the time. They're never meant to be expanded upon, just something that's there as a curiosity and/or worldbuilding.

except in this case "Killed the brother in the city of angels" is specific eneugh that "is this book implying this may be the case?"for the record? I always assumed it was a hint that may have been the case. just because YOU disagree with it. doesn't mean people might not interpret it as possiable. maybe instead of reacting so strongly and basicly screaming "HOW DARE YOU DISCUSS THIS" you provide solid reasoning.

yes we know the man who did kill RFK. and no one is saying "in real life he wasn't killed by X" but the thing about fiction involving gak like the cabel is it invites one to look back on events and yes consider conspiracy theories.

I mean seriously, do you play an assasin's creed game and scream "OMG MAN POPE ALEXANDER VI WASN'T KILLED BY EZIO AUDITORIE!"?

I always had the idea that the 40k universe was in some parallel dimension where things on early terra align pretty closely but other things are off (if anyone is familiar with the fallout series of games, it has kinda the same premise, instead of technology post 1945 delving into smaller computing we put more time and energy into atomic technology, Cold War got hotter, resource depletion etc.. basically anything post 1945 is an alternate timeline that mothballs). I get the same feeling with 40k especially when you delve into the ancient history of the setting (our time).

You essentially have an alternate history starting from the emperors birth though, including all the perpetuals and so on. Who is to say how even their minor actions could have severely or minutely impacted the timeline. I wouldn’t be at all surprised that the man who killed RFK in 40ks timeline is different than in ours. Is it an important detail for the over all story, probably not. Is it interesting and may provoke thought about other differences between our history and 40ks, sure why not?

Framed, or was Sirhan Sirhan an identity held by Prytanis at the time?


Of course you are all wrong.

I maintain The Notorious B I G, aka Biggie Smalls, Biggie, The Big Emperor, Big E, put out a hit on his long time rap rival Tupak Shakur using his agent Prytanis, shortly before reinventing his own persona as he knew the genre had peaked by this point.


It is this 'brother in the City of Angels' to which Pryantis refers.

How do we know it's even referring to a "City of Angels" on Earth? The 40k universe is a big place.

I spat my tea out this morning. Kudos for giving me a Monday giggle.

Biggie Smalls is the Emperor love it. Was Tupac an agent of the Cabal?
