Erebus - The MOST Hated 40k character? - Voice Acted 40k Lore

[@TheAmberKing]

The more I researched the more I hated Erebus! If you can, like and subscribe for all the pain I had to suffer for this traitor.

[@fackensac]

The man needs a swift kick to the erebussy if ya ask me

[@MaticustheRed]

Your pain, our gain.

[@walterTbaggins]

Lol Emperor Botherers not appreciating that Erebus was the only sane man in the galaxy long before Fabius made it cool. The OG Reality Accepting Chad showing the virgin magic skellington man exactly what's what for ten thousand years.

[@damaged_good7666]

Surely you are favored by the Emperor for bringing the details of such heretics to light. You are doing the God Emperor's work, friend.

[@pentacosttb2565]

We hate him because he is so perfectly written a villain. I sometimes wonder if he has been so absent from 40K all these years, because GW either haven't thought of a good enough use for him yet, or because they're saving him for something big down the road.

[@MrKassar123]

I always look forward to your videos. Your storytelling, the voice actors and the music are high calibre and it makes me understand the characters more deeply even if i have hard the same stories elsewhere. Easily my favourite 40k channel.

Thank you!

Peak channel sir can't wait for the Dante of the video

[@CaptinCrofty]

I love Erebus he shows how much a standard human can achieve.

[@probablythedm1669]

Man, do I love how hateable Erebus is! If anyone deserves to fall into a hole, break his neck, become paralyzed, and slowly expire of thirst in said hole, as he soils himself, only to be utterly forgotten, in his despair, it is Erebus...

[@vontheunknown7982]

Honestly, When the time comes it makes sense. Erebus death must be in the hands of the betrayer for obvious reasons, but what do you guys think?

[@ottovonbismarck7094]

I think it would be hilarious if it were at the hands of a C’tan shard, gods of the materium killing a mortal that worships the immaterial

[@maltheri9833]

​@@ottovonbismarck7094A bit melodramatic considering they're star beings and have nothing to do with humans. And are gone.

[@alganhar1]

@@ottovonbismarck7094 No, it would be even more hilarious if it was at the hands of one of those Erebus seduced to Darkness. Kharn... would be perfect. Even better if Kharn appeared in front of a loyalist Chapter, and tossed Erebus's head onto the floor in front of them, and said something like: 'I am not here to spill blood this day, but to give witness to the one who began our fall. And to give you his head.' Unlikely... but I would like to see that... yes, I loathe Erebus, he is truly evil.

[@kingtonsiljockey528]

​​​@@alganhar1Kharn shoots him in one knee, breaks the other, pulls Erebus' arms back as Kharn stomps on his spine "And all this time I thought you were spineless, meddling worm! Let me tell you, I HATE being wrong!" Starts crunching a few. "Knock knock" Erebus:"ARRRRRG WHOSE THERE!!?" Kharn:"Rectified..." "Rectified WHOOOO!" (Rips Erebus' arms off then spine out) "Wrecked, if I'd say so myself!" (Tzeentch face palms, watching on TV)

[@thelibrarian6976]

Can't wait, Erebus is such a crucial character and i want to learn every possible aspect of it! Glad to have a new content of yours my friend👑

[@Erebusdidnothingwrongish]

He is such a well-written character. Dan Abbnet did wonderful work with the Lore. I have met Erebus, if there is evil, there must be love. Some people are Erebus they are real. Beware who you trust. Trust takes years to build, and seconds to lose. Great Video 💯❤️🤖 Edited: I didn't realise this would be an epic work of art. I am truly grateful I needed this tonight. Thank you Kind Soul :)

[@henryviiifake8244]

Can't be a traitor if he was never on the Imperium's side.

[@syraphian]

The voice actor for lorgar is maybe my favorite I've heard on your channel so far. incredible work, especially during the post-monarchia breakdown

[@SurfTheKaliYuga]

he alos voiced Fulgrim as well in the Ferrus Manus video , did an even better job.

That alone says enough Erebus : You all are amateurs, I'm the sole reason why the galaxy is what it is

[@edgarsantos3034]

Bro should have read the entire Child of Chaos story. His interpretation of Erebus is soooooo good. Best one I heard thus far. Even better than Border Prince on this one. His little mannerisms really make a difference. Makes it more real.

[@tomburress4928]

The architect that laid the foundations for the worse war in the Imperium’s history. If not for him would Lorgar and by extension Horus have fallen? Maybe even the Emperor would still be more than a living corpse and Sanguinius would be able to guide his sons and have kept them from the black rage and dark thirst. Insane how all roads for where the Imperium is now lead back to this vile heretic. Great video

Astounding! Never did I think I would enjoy anything regarding Erebus but you have surpassed expectations yet again! Amazing narration from both you and the others and the music to boot! Thank you so much and well done on yet another amazing video!

Lorgar has come so close to being who he was meant to be so many times. Koda phaeron and Erebus were poison in his ears. The story of the word bearers is so tragic, they had so much promise if the imperium worked as intended. I also love the traitor word bearers lore!😅
