Who're your Favorite Characters from the time of the Horus Heresy and 30k that aren't any of the Primarchs (the Primarchs are cool but there are plenty of other characters worth noting). I'm Personally a Big Fan of Sevetar of the Night Lords, I also like Alexis Polux, Garviel Loken, Kor Phareon, Nassir Amir, and Thamatica.

Kroger. Oh and Kharn , especially after reading about him pre-Khorne, how he was actually a mollifying influence on Angron and his comrades for the most part

Kargos is also pretty cool, so is Delvarus, kinda weird that the most likeable characters in the heresy series are the "bad guys"

Jealous that Horus is Warmaster





Ahriman is a very interesting character. I'm reading A Thousand Sons now, and I did not expect that it would follow from his point of view many of the chapters. I'm glad it does though, as he is a great character to follow, and it makes understanding the Thousand Sons much easier.

He's also fun in-game. Great HQ choice.

Alpharius? Never heard of him.

Calleb Decima and Inar Satarael - both the pinnacle of the hardcore survivor demeanour; both given up for dead by their colleagues and enemies and both returned with a vengeance to become more powerful than ever.

Magos Calleb Decima
Spoiler:
was a passenger in the Xerxes 9-7-7 that arrived late to the Isstvan 3 party and was regarded as a target because they weren't 'part of the plan' and then refused to 'surrender' when they arrived at Isstvan 3 - when the vessel was fired on, Decima commandeered an Ordo Reductor Seige Crucible and dropped into an ongoing exterminatus maelstrom and managed to make it off of isstvan 3 and out of the Isstvan system (presumably with a very close to death crysos morturg) all the while commandeering just about everything that isn't welded to the floor, on fire and full of holes.


Archmagos Inar Satarael
Spoiler:
had all his weak, weak, flesh liquefied by a rare xenos called the 'Carnoplasm'. The few fragments of brain and nerve tissue which were still connected and still functional and using the associated machinations and cogigator units he had built around them, instructed servitor units to rebuild his cerebral matter using scavenged biomass and eventually rise to command his own Taghmata alongside the great crusade under his patron, the warmaster Horus with whom he sided.

I really like Loken. I didn't know much about any of 30K lore other than the Emperor, Horus and Sanguinusdies coming into starting to read the Horus Heresy novels, and Loken's character immediately captured my imagination in the opening trilogy.

I also really liked Kasper Hawser by the end of Prospero Burns, even though I remember coming into the novel finding his character dull and uninspiring. Similarly, Lemuel Gaumon of A Thousand Sons just turned out to be a really endearing sorta guy in a very human kinda way.

Iacton Qruze, because he's a crotchety old Luna Wolf longing for the "good old days".

Saul Tarvitz, because his actions at Istvaan III earn him the "Brofistius" award.

Zahariel, because his inner struggles and dealings with the Watchers in the Dark make for awesome reading.

Luther, because he really does think he's doing what is best and makes a very compelling argument for his actions.

Calas Typhon, because he's a shady fella who does what he wants to and gives no gaks what his Primarch thinks.

Rho-mu 31, because he is a loophole-exploiting bro-bot.

Also, I forget his name, but the Skall who narrates the Fall of Prospero was a pretty cool character. If only because I can identify more with him that with the superhuman Astartes. He had some really cool moments as well, such as his altercation with those baseline human soldiers, and he starts to realize just how far the Space Wolves have modified him.
