Some say he's a God, and some say he's just a corpse. But whatever your take on him, the Emperor of Mankind is the most important character in Warhammer 40K lore by far.
In this video I dive deep into the man, the myth, the legend, who would become the God-Emperor of Mankind. From his insane conception, to his humble upbringing, though the events of the Age of Strife, the Age of Technology, and the Unification Wars that united Terra and established the Imperium of Man. Ending with the Great Crusade, leading right up to the Horus Heresy.
Games Workshop has recently changed some of the major lore surrounding the Emperor, with the Siege of Terra series, especially the events of the End and the Death. So we also take a look at some of the big changes, and why Games Workshop chose to make them. But if you are here for lore on the Horus Heresy there are some tasty tidbits, but that is essentially where part 2 of this series will pick up.
Whether you're a loyalist son of the Emperor, or a vile heretic chaos worshipper, there's sure to be something to glean from this lore video. After all, the Emperor is not only the most important character in Warhammer 40K, he's also one of the most interesting.
