The '''God-Emperor His will is omnipotent, extending across the million worlds that comprise his Imperium.

The administration All at once he established continues to govern the Imperium in guides his name, but it is generally accepted that the absence of race through the [[Emperor's proper guidance is what has turned Tarot]], soul-binds psykers, holds audiences with his most important servants and beams the Imperium into Astronomican beacon.

If you hear any other voice than Peter CullenThe Emperor's in your head when you read his lines in role as guardian of mankind seems to have been predestined for him.

At first The Emperor re-united humanity when it was going to shit with constant wars by establishing the Imperial Army, which later became what Little is known today as about the Imperial Guard after a split with majority of the Navy. After that, Emperor's life; of who he was and what he did before he made emerged as the original 20 Space Marine Legions, each comprised great Emperor of 10Mankind,000 [[Space Marines]] rather than only the present Chapters Emperor himself remembers.<sup>2</sup> A few pieces of 1information have come to light,000 (though the legions each grew to have about 100from various different sources,000 members). Each Space Marine is made using the DNA and present some small parts of a specific Primarch. The Primarchs were lesser clones the Emperor made of himselfcoherent whole; however, because nobody else their reliability is badass enough to lead his great armiesoften disputed, but his own flesh and blood they however weren't especially as strong as their father and not all of them inherited his Psyker abilities. However the Chaos Gods then whisked them away and scattered them through the Galaxy. The Emperor then spent most of his years finding his sons while conquering planets, reestablishing human sovereignty across the galaxy's tale changes somewhat with each retelling.
After The oldest information given on the Emperor's origin relates that he found 18 was born to mortal parents many, many millennia ago, manifesting his powers as a youth. One account of the 20 primarchs, Emperor's origin goes so far as to say that he assigned them to their respective legions had mortal brothers and sisters and details the time and had them retake humanity location of his birthplace - eight thousand years before the first millenium, in the region of Terra then known as Central Anatolia. This account also claims that the Emperor's birth, while a crusade natural process, was actually the result of a grand scale, this is also when scheme created by the Spehss mahreens were wisest and most powerful of living humans at that time; the conclave of shamans. These men, termed 'shamans' by their awesomestsociety, were powerful psykers with great experience of the Warp. After much time, Horus Heresy erupts where 9 Finding their souls - and those of humanity - endangered by the legions rebel against growing perils of the EmpraWarp-gods, these psykers decided to pool their power into one human, a being they called 'the New Man'. The Emperor fought against [[Horus]]Already having gained the power to reincarnate themselves (upon death, daddythe shamans's favorite in an epic battle that ended it all at souls would transfer to the Warp, accumulating power enough to reincarnate as human) the cost shamans entered a suicide-pact. Thousands of being mortally wounded them poisoned themselves and sped their souls to the point that he must be put permanently on a life support machine known as warp at the Golden Thronesame time. All agree that Presumably pooling their soul-energy and using their reincarnation ability, they brought about the birth of their New Man - the bronze skinned douchebag deserved itEmperor - one year later. After thatThis New Man, once he had learned of his special nature, proceeded to haunt the Imperium eventually degraded into the Grimdark empire we all know history of humanity as a ghost; watching, waiting and love todayoccasionally influencing.<sup>3</sup>
It is established that the Emperor is pretty much the most powerful psyker aliveLiving secretly amongst mankind, humbling even the eldar, and whilst upon the Golden Throne he guides the light developed his abilities until his psychic might allowed him to gain knowledge of the Astronomiconnot only his own world, basically a lighthouse in but of the warp, which is run by the power of thousands of agonized psykersdangers beyond it. He is tens Aware then of thousands of years old and has been secretly guiding the vast predations awaiting humanity from behind , the scenes for much of his lifetime. Theories variously suggest being that he is also Sigmar of [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]] fame, Chuck Norris, and Jesus. It is uncertain would become known as to whether or not his internment on the Golden Throne is a good thing; some believe that if he were Emperor resolved to dieguide and protect humanity. Eventually, the [[Imperium]] would be truly plunged into darknessover ten thousand years before his current circumstances, whereas others believe that if allowed to finally die he would reincarnate and return to unify took his struggle out into the galaxy once more. Whatever open, primarily because of the truth ever-increasing number of the matter, [[Games Workshoppsyker]] are never going to advance the storys, so it is mostly irrelevantwhose very existence endangered their species.<sup>2</sup>
The Emperor is so powerful that he could [[AwesomeImage:EmperorwLegions.jpg|thumb|left|250px|'''DESTROY SUNS BY SNAPPING HIS FINGERS!!!''' ]]The [[Chaos]] Gods are scared shitless of this guy, and hope that he dies so they can take over Emperor during the universeGreat Crusade. ''If'' the God Emperor were to arise again [[Chaos]] would be '''FUCKED'''.The pussy [[Eldar]] fear that if the Emperor were to die a new [[Eye of Terror]] would be opened and Chaos would take over EVERYTHING!!!
After he was nearly killed by his son, he was placed on In the golden throne and hasn't been able to move for the past few millennia, it's been said by most aftermath of the fluff that his existence on a day-to-day basis since then was a living hell (In comparisonthese events, the process of making astropaths would be like Emperor evolved a trip to the dentistnew plan.) it's literally Using genetic material which had been derived from the mother/father/uncle/2nd Cousin of all mindfucksPrimarchs, so bad that even a Inquisitor would likely go insane as a result (or anybody else for that matter) and yet he continues.. why? He is maybe the universe's most powerful vegetable but that doesn't mean that he can just sit down and die, oh no it's exactly the opposite, it gives him created a shitload caste of work to do, along with being the lighthouse warriors which would possess some of the warp guiding the Imperial Navy, he also needs to make the aforementioned astropaths, as well as keeping all the nasties qualities of the warp where they're supposed Primarchs. These successors to be and not spilling over into reality and make the lives of all human beings miserable. He also does it for the good of man. (sounds kinda familiar, don't it?) In the last year of M41 techpriests discovered that the Golden Throne is failing and the Emperor is DYING so look up! there is a 50/50 chance genetically-altered warriors of the Emperor returning to life.... Or dying forever and everyone in Unification Era were the Imperium becoming a Chaos sex toy/Punching Bag/plague vector/science experiment.(insert Commissar quote here) Pfft, as if [[CegorachLegiones Astartes]], the [[TzeentchSpace Marines]], or of the [[C'tan|DeceiverFirst Founding]] are going to let one of their paradox poker buddies die. <sup>3</sup>
:''"With the final abatement of the Warp storms began the Great Crusade. The Emperor was a brilliant scientist's forces rediscovered human worlds, a powerful warriorcast out alien oppressors, and great psykerclaimed new territory aplenty.

==Worship of the Emperor==[[Image:Horus vs The Imperium thinks and looks at the Emperor like God himself in relation to Christianity and is more than willing to die in his name or skullfuck the next guy who says anything remotely bad about him. Now, the only reason the Imperium worship the jpg|thumb|right|The Emperor is that after his fight with confronting Horus and his internment into the Golden Throne, they pretty much forgot what the Emperor taught them, including draining the power of the Chaos Gods by eliminating all kinds of religion and remaining an atheist empire. The Emperor was actually AGAINST any kind of religion as part of his plan for mankind's conquest of the stars-- even if the object of worship would be himself like when he told [[Lorgar|300px]] to fuck off with the God-Emperor worship.
However===The Horus Heresy==={{main|Horus Heresy}}This turn of events did not please all of the Emperor's subjects, several of his sons in particular. In the final stages of the [[Great Crusade]], after he went off being the Emperor's most powerful psychic vegetable in trusted son [[Horus]] succumbed to Chaos temptation. Horus was told that the reason the Emperor had left the Great Crusade was so the universehe could attempt to reach godhood, abandon all his sons and lost direct control betray one of the Imperium central tenants of man, belief in him sort of helped the Imperium stand together, even if Great Crusade (to enlighten humanity and free it basically made humanity retarded in from the processbonds of false gods). The Horus saw it as his duty to save the Imperium'and turned on his father. Having corrupted fully half of the [[Space Marine Legion]]s faith in , Horus led them against the Emperor is basically their biggest anchor of bravery and perseverance plunged the fledgeling galactic empire into a colossal civil war. This became the most terrible conflict in a universe where humanity is constantly beset by:human history, and billions perished as the Traitor Legions tore apart the empire they had helped to forge.<sup>5</sup>

Without their faith in the Emperor after his internment into ==Transcendence==Enthroned within the life-sustaining Golden Throne, the Imperium would have likely gone pants-on-head retarded again like in Emperor's will has transcended his maimed body. The Emperor is now divorced from the pre-Great Crusade days and subsequently devolved into what they were before day to day running of the Emperor liberated them. So yes, much like IRL religion, it gives them hope and courage Imperium; this is left to fight on and survive in a universe that leaves the [[grimdarkAdeptus Terra]] faucet running everydaywho govern in his name.
==[[Image:Emperor_Imperial_Palace_Rogue_Trader.jpg|thumb|left|500px|The possible death of Imperial Palace, the Sanctum Imperialis: The Emperor==, the Golden Throne, Custodians]]
With Now, his will is interpreted and executed by the [[High Lords of Terra]], his worship is regulated by the [[Ecclesiarchy]], his law enforced by the [[Adeptus Arbites]], his form guarded by the [[Adeptus Custodes]], and his people protected from the horrors of the galaxy and from even themselves by the [[Inquisition]]. The Emperor is confined within the Golden Throne, vast biomechanical machinery forming the great Sanctum Imperialis, located deep within the continent-spanning complex on Terra known as the [[Imperial Palace]]. There the Emperor's physical form is sustained by carefully maintained machinery. Physically, the enthroned Emperor of Mankind is a ravaged corpse. The last surviving cells in his shattered body are sustained by the Golden Throne being constantly damaged , providing an anchor for the Emperor's spirit, which extends across the entire Imperium. While his body is sustained, his will endures.<sup>2</sup> His existence is said to be an unending torment, with his every thought enslaved to the task of ruling, guiding and protecting his race. Ultimately it is only his will to endure that allows him to survive, as he knows his death would lead to the destruction of the Imperium and leave mankind without the Techpriests are too guidance it needs to survive.<sup>2</sup> Only through his powercan the [[Astronomican]] beam its guiding light, allowing Imperial ships to navigate the Warp in relative safety. The Emperor is not just a beacon for space travel, however, but is said to continue to guide humanity through his [[Emperor's Tarot|Tarot]], and through dreams and visions given to selected individuals. It is also popularly believed that he created the warp storm known as the [[Storm of the Emperor's Wrath]] during the [[Age of Apostasy]], and that the Emperor's will holds Chaos at bay. Were it not for his unceasing struggle, the Chaos of the Warp would flood the material realm with madness and horror, causing untold destruction.<sup>1</sup> In addition to these already profound powers, the Emperor is capable of stopping time for undetermined lengths and guiding his servants through manipulation of his Tarot and sheer influence.<sup>8</sup> ==The Golden Throne==Originally built to provide access to the [[Eldar]] [[Webway]], the Golden Throne took the form of a bulky machine-armorlike chair suspended over gigantic mechanised doors made of gold metal. The doors were said to be large enough for a [[Warhound Scout Titan]] to walk through unbowed. The chair was linked to the portal by huge bundles of cables, wires and conduits. The whole machine was made of the same golden metal. The throne was built at one end of a vast hall big enough to house up to six fully equipped Space Marine Companies. This was the Emperor's main laboratory, which was itself at the centre of his underground complex, known as the Imperial Dungeon. Even after the Throne's construction, the lab remained littered with other huge machines and storage crates. Hundreds of red-robed technicians and labourers worked in the lab.<sup>5</sup> The Emperor built the throne as a means of entering the Webway. Having this fixed point of entry was meant to free humanity from its reliance onWarp-head rebooted ships and astrotelepathy, since humans could simply enter the Webway and emerge wherever they chose in the galaxy. He sent armies of workers through the portal and had them construct a new short section of Webway linking to do anything about itthe rest of the abandoned Eldar network. Since the original Webway was built of a psychically resistant material which the humans could not replicate, the Emperor used his powers, via the Golden Throne, it to protect the human-built section from the Warp.<sup>5</sup> The Golden Throne is certainly connected to a massive Warp beacon known as the [[Astronomican]] which generates a system of signals making faster-than-light travel in the [[Imperium]] possible <sup>2</sup>. In the last year of [[M41]], Techpriests discovered failures in the mechanisms of the Golden Throne that are far beyond their ability to repair<sup>1</sup>. [[Image:God-Emperor.jpg|thumb|right|The Emperor on the Golden Throne.]] ;Consequences of the Horus HeresyAt the outset of the Heresy, when [[Magnus|Magnus the Red]] used his sorcerous powers to warn the Emperor may die one dayof Horus's treachery, which will obviously result he inadvertently created huge holes in all the Emperor's psychic shield. Daemons poured into the human-built portion of the Webway and slaughtered thousands of [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] workers there. The [[Custodian Guard]] and [[Sisters of Silence]] were left fighting a desperate battle to prevent the daemons from reaching the portal through into the Imperial worlds Dungeon. Eventually the Imperial forces had to abandon the Webway and factions retreat back into the Imperial Palace. The portal was closed but only the psychic power of the Emperor was enough to keep it that way so he was forced to remain on the Golden Throne or find a suitable replacement. When the Emperor was forced to cry tears battle Horus on board the [[Sons of disappointment Horus]] flagship, the ''Vengeful Spirit'', his place on the throne was taken briefly by [[Malcador (Character)|Malcador the Sigillite]]. Malcador perished performing this endeavour, and subsequently devolve the mortally wounded Emperor was reinstated upon the Throne after his battle with Horus. At his instruction, it was then enhanced and converted into chaosthe life-sustaining form it currently bears. There are however, 2 <sup>5</sup> ==Rebirth==''Two theories have been put forward concerning the possible outcomes rebirth of what will happen if the Emperor should ever die:. Note that at worst these theories could be considered complete fabrication brought about by [[Tzeentch]]ian [[Chaos Cult|Cultists]] and the lies of Chaos, as the [[Inquisition]] has decreed.''<sup>6</sup>
The cultists of [[Tzeentch]] once prophesied {{main|Star Child}}A controversial belief amongst Imperial scholars, the Star Child Theory has two aspects: the first is that in the event the Emperor dies, he would be reborn 's soul is currently forming as a new entity (the Star Child, which ) in the Warp and that he will allow be reborn - a theory not dissimilar to the Emperor to be restrengthened as this belief surrounding the potential Eldar god [[Ynnead]]- and the second is the only part of humanity left in that the Emperorhad children. It's also prophesied that <sup>3</sup> After the defeat of Horus, most of the Emperor's soul can now go is said to have dispersed from his body, merging into the warp in much the same way as that of the shamans, so many millenia before. It is believed that the Emperor - while apparently designed and go in empowered by the shamans to live forever - also possesses their ability to reincarnate, and kick all of that this would be his eventual goal. Avoiding discovery by the Chaos Gods' asses in an epic fight powers, it is believed that will cause even the hardest Emperor was able to plant the seed of Space Marines to cry manly tearshis reincarnation, a potential new soul awaiting birth: The Star Child. It should However, it is also believed that this new soul cannot be noted that born while the proceeding line Emperor is bullshitstill tied to the Golden Throne, because at his peakno matter how tenuously.<sup>3</sup> Along with this, the Emperor could only barely kill Horusis said to have had children. Who is Although a gnat compared to man of unparalleled, god-like powers, the greater servants of Chaos Emperor was still a man, and throughout the Daemon Primarchsmany millennia of his life on Terra had fathered many children. Furthermore, as Slaanesh killed most A few of their descendants had inherited some of the Eldar pantheon single handed Emperor's power, including agelessness, and is yet survive into the weakest Age of the Ruinous Powers, one must wonder how Imperium. They are known as [[Sensei]]. Sensei have a mere unique nature and relationship with the Warp which makes them invisible to psychic human (however potent) would match up against Khorne Or Tzeentchsenses - even to those of the Emperor. The ultimate goal of the Sensei is to attain Apotheosis with the Star Child. Anyway, it<sup>3</sup> ===The Sensei-Emperor===There is a another possibility given for the Emperor's implied resurrection/rebirth. A hidden group that this theory was call themselves the [[Illuminati]] have learned from the work Eldar's [[Black Library of Tzeentchian cultChaos|Black Library]] many truths of Chaos, which is opposed by as well as about the Sensei and the Fall of the InquisitionEldar. <s>ButThey realise the Emperor cannot survive in his current state forever, and eventually he will fail, and without the Emperor, since Tzeentch actually wants Mankind will fall to lose so that he can win Chaos like the Eldar. Such an event would create a fifth [[Gods of Chaos|God of Chaos]] and thus make everything make no fucking sense whatsoevercreate another [[Eye of Terror]], it might be true anywayone which would span the entire Imperium. SoThey seek to prevent this by bringing about the rebirth of the Emperor. This involves gathering together the Sensei, protecting them from the Inquisition, preparing them for what they claim is "the final war with Chaos." In truth they ultimately plan to sacrifice the Sensei to the Emperor, in the same way so many psykers have been consumed by the Emperor. yeahThe Emperor will be renewed, reborn as the Sensei-Emperor to again lead his race in person.<sup>3</ssup> Tzeentch has no final goal. He has a hand in everything. Including your mothers ass.

==The entire history of the EmprahHistory==He was apparently born 8000 B.C in Anatolia, making him a Proto-Sumerian probably. He also masqueraded as many prophets, leaders and wise men throughout history to nudge humanity towards a more ordered society, including Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Gaius Julius Caesar, Winston Churchill and so on. If this is true, it took their collective minds ''that'' long to see that Peace and Love wasn't working and that the only way for anything to go their way was at gunpoint/swordpoint.===Origins===
==The Emprah himself=Rise of the Emperor===After he shaved his goatee, his chin radiated a brilliant light through The man who would later become known as the Emperor first appears in Imperial records as one of the many warlords struggling for control of Terra during the later part of the [[warpAge of Strife]]. The Emperor undertook a series of campaigns against all the other warlords on the planet that would later become termed as the [[Imperial NavyUnification Wars]] used this light . During these wars the Emperor employed several military formations - such as the [[Geno Five-Two Chiliad]] - that consisted of genetically altered/engineered warriors, who played a beacon to guide them through significant role in his eventual victory. With this victory, the planet and population of Terra were at last unified under one rule; that terrible placeof the Emperor. He is sometimes referred With this achievement behind him, the Emperor then set in motion his plans to as take his purpose of uniting and guarding mankind out into the Empra or Emprahstars, a joke derived from to unify with the voice acting in bastions of humanity scattered across the ''[[Dawn of Wargalaxy]]'' game, ''[[Dawn of War: Soulstorm|Soulstorm]]'', specifically . This undertaking would become known as the [[Indrick BorealeGreat Crusade]]'s final speeches.<sup>4</sup>
The Emperor prepared extensively for the Great Crusade; he created the special [[File:Climax.jpgAstropath|250px|right|thumb|A typical father astrotelepath corps]] to link his eventual dominion together, and caused the creation of the [[Astronomican]], a supremely powerful signal device powered by the Emperor's own psychic might that would allow simplified and son chat between Empy an Horussafer travel through the Warp. Chief amongst his designs, however, were the creation of superhuman warriors, the logical extension of the gene-troopers already under his command.He had first undertaken the [[Primarch Project]], the creation of twenty infants from his own genetic code, designed to mature into powerful generals for his armies. However, this plan went awry with the intervention of the Chaos Powers. While accounts vary as to exactly what happened, the end of the tale is always the same; the [[Primarch]]s were cast into the Warp and thought lost.<sup>4</sup>
The Emperor led the Space Marines into the reconquest of the [[Sol System|Solar System]], driving [[Xenos|alien]] enslavers from the moons of [[Saturn]] and [[Jupiter]] and most importantly, achieving peace and eventual integration with the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Mechanicum]] of [[Mars]]. This alliance provided the Emperor with much of the means and materiel to extend his crusade into the stars.
