No world shall be beyond my rule, no enemy shall be beyond my wrath.
~ Emperor of Mankind
The universe has many horrors yet to throw at us. This is not the end of our struggle. This is just the beginning of our crusade to save Humanity. Be faithful! Be strong! Be vigilant!
~ Emperor of Mankind

The Emperor of Mankind, also referred to as the God-Emperor of Mankind, is the overarching protagonist of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise. As the most powerful human psyker to ever exist, He is the founder and sole monarch of the Imperium of Man as well as the deity of the Imperial Cult.

Having existed for tens of thousands of years, the Emperor has guided mankind since the dawn of their history and has since become their greatest protector and hope against the seemingly limitless threats that threaten them within the galaxy. As such, He has earned the animosity of the Chaos Gods, powerful psychic beings existing in the Immaterium, due to being seen as the embodiment of order and stability as well as His constant efforts to thwart their evil plans. Eventually, the four Gods conspired against Him by corrupting his favored son Horus into rebelling against him, igniting a galaxy-spanning civil war that would become known as the Horus Heresy. Although Horus was eventually slain by the Emperor’s hand, the Imperium was left in ruins, and the Emperor was fatally wounded, being forced to be confined to the Golden Throne to put Him in suspended animation lest the Imperium permanently lose his guiding hand.

Since then, the Emperor has been reduced to a rotting corpse with a barely sustainable consciousness, unable to fully interact with or save the Imperium, which had succumbed to tyranny and fanaticism upon his death. Despite this, the Emperor is not truly dead, and if not for his unconditional love for humanity, both the galaxy and humanity would've fallen to Chaos, and there's no telling whether or not the galaxy and humanity will truly be saved.

Personality[]

Varies, due to being the embodiment of how to perceive him. During his confrontation with Gulliman, he was conflicted, calling his son 'my last hope' and, in the same breath, 'betrayer', 'thief', '13', and a tool.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

Around the time the Warp began to destabilize, numerous human psykers/shamans living on Neolithic Earth came to the conclusion that a savior needed to be born amongst their race to save them from the oncoming disaster that would engulf them all. So, in mass ritualistic suicide, the human psykers fused their psychic souls into one, reincarnated as one vastly powerful psyker in Anatolia, one who would later be known as the Emperor of Mankind.

Now reincarnated, the child who would later become the Emperor was born to a normal mother and father, with normal brothers and sisters. During his childhood, the Emperor’s father was killed by his uncle, with the Emperor being able to perceive this crime with his psychic powers. During his father’s funeral, the Emperor, with no emotion, walked up to his uncle and stopped his heart with his mind. From that moment on, the Emperor came to the conclusion that humanity will collapse into evil if not properly controlled by a guiding hand.

During the Ancient Greek era, the man who would become the Emperor created one of the largest empires in mankind's history under the alias Alexander III of Macedon, also known as Alexander the Great. Later, during the Ancient Roman era, he became a religious leader using the name Jesus, and after his execution by the hands of Romans, his teaching became Christianity, which lasted for millennia before being ironically ended by its founder during the Unification Wars.

Unification War[]

TBA

At some point, he would conceive multiple children called Primarchs; however, the Chaos Gods, in direct defiance of him, scattered the Primarchs across the Milky Way Galaxy. As the Primarchs were raised by different people, the Emperor found and raised his strongest and most powerful son, Horus Lupercal, whom would soon become the Emperor's favorite son.

Great Crusade[]

TBA

The Horus Heresy[]

Eventually, however, Horus would be corrupted and eventually fall to Chaos, beginning a revolution against the Emperor, nearly destroying the Imperium in the process.

The End and the Death[]

Hoping to put an end to this, the Emperor decided to confront Horus by teleporting himself and his Custodians onto Horus's Vengeful Spirit; however, Emperor soon realized that Horus had become so powerful that not even him could defeat Horus, so he decided to once again dive deep into the warp and absorb its power, as he once did at the gate of Molech, but by doing this, he was inevitably ascending into a fifth Chaos God, The Dark King. This is Chaos Gods true plan all along; if his ascention is complete, he will no longer be himself but the ultimate God of total ruin that will destroy the galaxy until no life is left, even if he defeats Horus. However, before his ascention could be complete, Ollanius Pius, his old perpetual friend, came to convince him to abandon the Dark King power and give him a chance to try to defeat Horus in another way. The Emperor agrees, letting go of the Dark King powers, and chooses to fight Horus; better to die as a man than to become demon.

Emperor, Ollanius Pius, and Custodians eventually confronted Horus, who just killed another one of Emperor's sons, Sanguinius. But Emperor could not bring himself to kill his favorite son, and thus, Horus was able to overpower and nearly kill the Emperor. Before Horus could finish him off, Ollanius Pius stood up to Horus, causing Horus to kill him with a glare, to the point that Ollanius can't be ressurect with his perpetual power. Upon seeing this, the Emperor realized Horus was too far gone and quickly overpowered and defeated Horus. Upon realizing the terrible things he had done, Horus begged the Emperor to kill him, which the Emperor quickly did. Destroy his son's soul to prevent him from being ressurect or turned into a Demon Prince by the Chaos Gods. Though the Horus Heresy was over, the Emperor and the Imperium were left broken. Rogoal Dorn carried him back to the Golden Throne to keep the warp gate from the Webway project seal, and now the Emperor sits on the Golden Throne, still battling the Chaos Gods from afar, while powering Astronomican at the same time allowing humanity to still use warp travel, sacrificing 1,000 pyskers every day to keep the Golden Throne function and The Emperor alive.
