      It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor of Mankind has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Man for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die.Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance.

            That’s not quite it though. He might’ve used autocratic measures, even cruelty from certain points of view, but in the end he saw something nobody else did, and acted to save his species.

            …and in the end he gave up god-like powers to preserve what was left of his humanity and went on full well he couldn’t win in any conventional manner. After said confrontation he willingly shackled himself in perpetual agony to give the species he just gave everything for a chance to rebuild and forge on. He even built a safeguard or two for …unforeseen events.

            Do you see orange douchebag doing any of that for anyone else, ever?
