'Tell me why do you think Angron left us?' -Kharn 'He wasn't Angron anymore, not in the end.' -Dreagher 'Perhaps he saw us like Gorechild blunted, broken. Perhaps he believed that we failed him and he discarded us. No longer able to serve our primary function.' -Kharn 'But you recovered Gorechild rebuilt it, restored it you made it whole again now it serves its function once more. The same can be done with the Legion.' -Dreagher 'What are you willing to do to see the Legion united?' -Kharn 'Anything' -Dreagher Kharn considered this. Nodding as he turned the Gorechild in his hands 'Come. Let us talk with the Emperor's Children' -Kharn Kharn: Eater of Worlds Chapter 12 by Anthony Reynolds.

@@o.w.n.1327 yeah but doesnt the WE break apart when Kharn betrays everyone ?

[@FixedGearFox]

My favorite fact about Khârn the Betrayer is that Khârn means betrayer. His name is literally Betrayer, the Betrayer.

[@firstnamelastname8058]

If so.. what does this mean for the white scars? I found it weird that these two very different characters share the same name. From the design point of view I see what they wanted.. sure the betrayer suited the name.. but the scars are meant to be somewhat Asiatic so they used the name of the worlds greatest conqueror.. An unfortunate coincidence maybe.

[@EddyOfTheMaelstrom]

​@@firstnamelastname8058 White Scars is "khan"...as in, Ghengis Khan....bruh...learn some history

[@AsprinceRemix]

@FixedGearFox Funny you mention that. In Tolkien’s books, he has a character named Círdan the Shipwright. Círdan translates to Shipwright. So Shipwright, the Shipwright.

[@aaronporterfield3456]

No kidding? I thought it was a play on Khornes name. Just like Chai tea?

[@Cmdtheartist]

I listened to a very detailed account of Kharn and despite his later horrors, I actually feel sorry for him. He kept remarking that all the other Terran Astartes were beyond happy when their Primarchs showed up, but his legion, instead of a proud conquering giant, were given a broken, tortured animal. For the rest of his time before finally falling to the Blood God, all he ever wanted was for Angron to be proud of him and for himself to be proud of Angron. Then he fell, and is just as broken. I mean, kill him if you meet him, he's the worst, but still...

[@commissaryarrick9670]

what do you mean kill him? He is Kharn ! none of us could kill him . Our skulls are going to be part of the throne

[@CrispyChristieMAC]

I too find Kharn a sympathetic character, pretty much everyone in the world eaters. The emperor perhaps made his most significant mistake, ironically one of his most inhumane acts, with how he treated his "son" Angron. He could have easily set things straight, spent time to facilitate removal of the nails and saved the other slaves if only to showcase to his son an act of uncondtional love and humanity but instead he took his beaten dog Angron, set him loose from the chain and suffered the consequences for it later. Both his treatment of Angron and Magnus are likely the largest mistakes he made. Magnus only fucked things up because the Emporer concealed the reality of the warp, forcing Magnus to learn on the fly without guidance and eventually collapsing the webway project. Angron was honorable, leading his slaves and willing to die with them and his father taught him that life is worthless, and his role was to kill without concern.

[@SeraphimRoad]

@@CrispyChristieMAC The Emperor did nothing wrong. Souls for the Golden Throne!

[@konoskubos1641]

​@@CrispyChristieMACto be brutally awfull... a "saved" Angron would be useless for the crusades. He would 100% be against fighting and would absolurely have pulled away from war. So in a horrible way, big E took the right choise

[@CrispyChristieMAC]

@@konoskubos1641 why do you think he would no longer fight. Nothing ignoble about fighting, or enjoying a fight, the issue with Angron is his moral compass was obliterated when the slaves were left to die and the nails were left to infest his psyche. Arguably he may have learned to control the nails, as a few of his own warriors did, if he had not been so brutally let off the leash and his morality broken.

[@christianvoorhees69]

Khārn is one of the few cases for me that a astartes outshines their primarch. Another excellent video!

[@nonimport-ante]

best quote about kharn. "By the throne! You're telling me one man did all this?

[@jeanannd]

The Butcher's Nails - didn't that also drive most to insanity? The driven anger, pain and such would obviously have given the Chaos demons fertile ground to gain them to their side.

[@maltheri9833]

It makes 00000 sense why The Emperor and Malcador didn't wonder if making over 100,00 Astartes into rage fueled monsters was a bad idea. Some shit just makes no sense and it really never will it's just for the sake of being cool

[@rislingpodiumperformance]

If you think about it, for Kharn to kill 1million and he's been doing so for 10k years, that's only 100/year. That's a pretty low number for such a reputation. You would think it would be a billion by now

[@captainomoplata643]

GW is notoriously bad at scaling numbers wise… also Kharn seeks out the baddest of the bad asses to fight and slay for honor

[@nb77122]

Battle of Skalathrax Happened in Early 31st Millennium (Post-Horus Heresy) So Kharn get his 1 million kill in Between 9 to 200 years Not more than 1000 years

[@darko-man8549]

I find it weird that the Warhounds were so blood thirsty to begin with when Angron was supposed to be the Apothecarion of the Primarchs before his nails screwed his brain’s capability for empathy

[@AureusSRB]

Perhaps that is the exact point. He was meant to calm their rage and bring them into line. Make them his disciplined soldiers. But the Nails ruined everything.

[@leentrails5388]

kinda like how the revenant legion was brutal cannibal weirdos. @@AureusSRB

[@patricksharpe1148]

I think Angron was suppose to uplift the warhounds. Make them proud and loyal hunting dogs with empathy to protect the herd (base line humans.) But the nails ruin Angronan and thus the warhounds.

I loved the fight between Kharn and Erebus at the end of the book "Betrayer". The first time Kharn was really angry, the first time Kharn fought for Real in the pit, the first time he "wanted" to murder someone so god damn hard that his existance would have been whiped out. Spoiler: ||Kharn lost his best Friend to Erebus||

[@firstnamelastname8058]

So glad you kept true the the voice style of chris fairbank. subbed.

[@xzeke666x]

Concidering that Kharn was Khornes champion and how much blood flowed in his path until he died even surpassing Angron in Khorn´s eyes, and seeing in what form Angrong was brought back. I am eagerly awating Kharn´s return to see how blessed he will be and terrifying he will be then seanse he was a one man meatgrinder when he was alive. Kharn and the world eaters was the first charater that i liked when i started to paint warhammer and liked and felt for them the more i found out how heartfelt and tragic their story was. first i thought they were "cool" seanse they carved their way though battles with axes as berzerkers. no matter what i played thoughtout the years i always played melee characters in d&d, diablo, wow etc. so world eaters and Kharn was a natural choice for me and havent looked back or regreted my choice of army that i started to paint.

[@Overanalyse_This]

Imagine Kharn and Angron fight for the honour to Khorne's champion! The dialogue between the two as they fought, especially from Kharn, would be brutal! The fight itself would so insane!

[@johnnyscifi]

Angron isn't mortal. Can't be a champion of Khorne. What Angron is is much more important. He is a Daemon-Primarch of Khorne!!! Higher even than a Daemon-Prince

[@kelceydane5874]

Yeah, afraid not, Kharn would get ripped apart in a second. He'd likely be brought back too, Khorne likes him too much.

​@@kelceydane5874They did actually fight In the skies of Terra. Kharn managed to trap Angron, with ALOT of help lol Angron almoat killed Kharn a bunch of times, Kharn barely survived and was only luring Angron to a trap...not actually fighting.

[@kelceydane5874]

@@adrienwatson2179 ....soooo, was that a fight? I'd say he was prey to Angron while they did everything to slow him, with Kharn still almost dying while fleeing/luring.
