~ The Emperor's Children psychotic need for more. |
The Emperor's Children are antagonists in Warhammer 40k, serving as major antagonists during the Horus Heresy before their defeat saw their forces extremely diminished. The IIIrd Legion of the Adeptus Astartes, the Emperor's Children were once one of the most respected and beloved Space Marine Legions, bearing the Emperor of Mankind as their namesake and were among his greatest followers. Lead by their Primarch Fulgrim, they prided themselves on their skill and loyalty, but harbored insecurities that lead to their doom. After their fall to Chaos, they became one of the most abhorrent and despicable warriors in the galaxy, devoting themselves to the Chaos God of Pleasure, Slaanesh. Their dignity and honor brutally discarded, the only thing these crazed monsters care about anymore is the extreme indulgence of their own twisted desires, and are arguably the one Traitor Legion that fell the hardest from grace.
