I've just been reading the wiki about cypher, and how he's the most superest speciallist fallen angel ever.

It said that most think he's got some super secret evil plan to try and kill the emperor or something, but does that sound like the kind of thing that would happen to you?

So anyway, this is basically a post asking for your opinion on the matter, if you think he's actually evil, what you think would make a good story, how you think GW will advance his story arch, if at all. The usual.

Best regards

Keep it mysterious, otherwise the Dark Angels' fluff kind of goes flat. Plus its not a priority to the universe so you can only lose by shining more light on it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6614854.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6614854.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos?
40k won't lose it's appeal to me if they ever resolve anything in the fluff. I'm interested what the Black Library people think would be a fitting end for him. Personally, I think it'd be awesome if Abaddon made it into the Golden Throne's chamber, then was struck down by Cypher with the sword he's never drawn. Would be so climactic, and fitting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6614865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6614865.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos?
a) He thinks or knows that killing him will result in a rebirth of some description due to being a perpetual.

or

b) He wants to screw over the Imperium by knocking out the Astronomicon.

or

c) something else entirely]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6614968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6614968.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6615036.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6615036.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6616774.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6616774.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos? Not even kidding, he really could be!

Or he might be Luther - just because.
I know he's meant to be locked up screaming in the rock somewhere, but it'd be cool if he was still bombing about while the Lion sleeps.

Personally, I really considered writing a story about him because he's a cool character. In my mind, he's made a mistake and he knows it. He witnesses Luther stay his hand against the lion and realized his error. Takes the lion sword and because he's aware of all dark angel secrets know that the sword is the final key to open the secret room within the rock where the watchers hold a comatose lion. The only reason he's not done anything yet is because he's farming items and making deals for a massive plan centuries in the making. All this for absolution.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6617904.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6617904.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos?
He's basically 40k's answer to Aragorn, only he actually manages to be more awesome. Could still be played by Viggo Mortensen though.

He could be Alpharius, Alpharius was specifically capable of passing as a normal Marine, heh. I don't think he is Alpharius, but I'm not going to rule it out.

My personal theory is that he's going to reawaken the Emperor, but keeps getting side-tracked making sure the C'tan don't break free and screw the galaxy over completely first.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6618282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6618282.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos?
I am not really a fan of the DA, so the amount of grief that Cypher causes them in the fluff makes me chuckle. If I could choose to be any one character in 40k, it would undoubtedly be him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6618436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6618436.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos?
The Fallen genuinely fell to Chaos. The loyalist DA's didn't but also covered up for the ones who did. It's almost exactly like finding out your friends killed a bunch of guys and then not going to the cops about it.

Cypher seems to be in the middle... Chaos exists, but fighting it makes us stronger.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6619193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6619193.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos?

I kind of always believed Cypher is a manifestation of the Lion himself, while his body sleeps in the rock his mind is busy in the body of Cypher.


The feth? No, Cypher is a rank within the Dark Angels, the records keeper and preserver of the old ways. It's the job of the Cypher to ensure the old ways of the Order on Caliban never meet extinction, and oversee them as they're executed- typically a veteran of the Order/Dark Angels. The current Cypher is either the old Cypher just before the HH (IIRC, the person who trained Zahariel and Nemiel) or he was killed/ceded his role and one of the older Dark Angels from the HH took over the position before the fall. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6619296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583820/6619296.page GMT Do you think that Cypher turned to chaos?

Cypher's agenda doesn't align with either Chaos nor the Imperium, which is what's so great about him. He's been spotted leading Black Legion terminators into battle, and he's also been spotted saving entire platoons of Guardsman against overwhelming Chaos forces.

If you remember, Be'Lakor's plans never seem to line up with Chaos' Will either, but...
