Asskicking Equals Authority: The Emperor became Emperor because he had the mightiest armies, and he acquired many of those armies as a result of his own incredible physical and psychic strength.This ambiguity has been written into some background material with various organisations, sects and philosophies within the Imperial Cult and Inquisition each holding one or more of these beliefs. Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Depending on the edition and depiction, the Emperor has either already ascended, has partially ascended, will ascend when he finally dies or will never ascend.Blanks, who are immune to psychic effects, are not impacted by this and see a much smaller physical form underneath, like a normal human being. However, there are hints that this itself is just a projection into the minds of those looking upon him. To most people, the Emperor appears to be a gigantic man in glorious powered armor. This keeps how the Emperor actually thinks of them ambiguous. When interacting with the Custodes he would refer to the Primarchs by their numbers (likely because the Custodes see them as just tools he created) while other characters heard him refer to them by name, because that they themselves think of the Primarchs as actual individuals. When a Magos of the Mechanicum saw him he saw an all-knowing scientist, and when the Sisters of Silence look at him they see just a man (though that is probably also due to their nature as Blanks). Appearance Is in the Eye of the Beholder: His appearance and even his way of speaking differs depending on who is interacting with him.This was demonstrated during the Plague Wars when a girl, who the Emperor was heavily implied to be possessing, caused nearly every Daemon on the battlefield to spontaneously combust. Anti-Magic: Daemons call him "anathema" for very good reason as his powers are the very bane of their existence.Anti-Hero: What point on the scale depends on the individual, but the Emperor was equal parts wonderfully heroic and terribly flawed.He is said to be shedding microscopic tears for each man who dies in his service. And I Must Scream: The Emperor is trapped mere inches from death, and has been that way for ten thousand years, his once-glorious physique withering into nothing more than a skeletal carcass intricately intermeshed in a mountainous machine-throne, his psyche locked within his skull and unable to communicate with the outside world (except for very rare one-on-one conversations).Age Without Youth: The Golden Throne has kept the Emperor alive for ten thousand years, but he's gone from a mortally wounded man to a shriveled, mummified husk.Eleven thousand two hundred years later, this life-support system sustains the Emperor's ruined body, while his psychic might guides the Imperium even as it shudders closer to collapse.
The Emperor was forced to kill Horus but was mortally wounded in the battle, and his last acts were to give instructions to complete the Golden Throne. However, the Warmaster betrayed his father, falling to the whispered seductions of the Chaos Gods and leading half of his brother Primarchs in a cataclysmic civil war known as the Horus Heresy. When humanity's triumph seemed inevitable, the Emperor retired to Terra to continue his next great work, leaving the Great Crusade in the hands of his favorite son Horus. In this he was aided by the twenty Primarchs, his clone-sons, and the Space Marine Legions formed from their genetic templates. With an army of gene-modded soldiers he won the Unification Wars for Terra, brokered an alliance with the Mechanicum of Mars, and led a Great Crusade to reconquer and reunite the galaxy. When galactic civilization collapsed following the Age of Strife, the Emperor fully revealed himself. An immortal being of incredible scientific knowledge, psychic might, military prowess and charisma, the Emperor watched humanity's development over the course of human history, at times guiding it from the shadows, at other moments taking a more active role and serving as a prophet, general or sage as needed. Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines, and the Emperor's sonĪt the center of the Imperium of Man is a figure known only as the Emperor of Mankind, now worshiped as the God-Emperor by the great masses of humanity.
