One day, while wandering a city to pass the time, he comes across a healthy-looking young boy with dark brown skin, who seems to have lost his parents somewhere in the metropolis. Ollanius, out of pity, decides to help the boy, who seems quite infatuated with the Ultramarines stationed there (the boy is probably distracted by how cool the Ultrasmurfs were that he lost track of this parents) After hours of exploring, the boy's parents were found, and the family was reunited. Before leaving, however, Ollanius gave the dark-skinned boy a piece of bread to eat, and then, left without a word. That boy is Chairon.

Just for context: Pius lived for thousands of years before Jesus was born, and survived for 30 thousand years after Jesus' death. Yet this dude, who himself was essentially a demigod, truly believed that Jesus, a guy that lived for less than half a century, was the messiah and the son of the one true god. Weirder still, Ollanus specifically believed in the righteousness of the Catholic church, an institution he both predated and survived. To have such faith to hold on to your exact beliefs, unchanged, for literal MILLENIA, is honestly super impressive.

It's not necessarily that Oll was allowed to retire because of exceptional conduct (although obviously he was a pretty capable soldier, since he'd been that so many times before) or that he had the Emperor's favour. In Know No Fear, it pretty much states that you could sign up with the Army for a 20-odd year tour. And for that he got service shares. And he chose to spend them on getting land on Calth, because if you went for one of the 'new' worlds in Ultramar they paid your passage. All very ordinary, just as he wanted.

[@Cristov123]

I like to think that the Big E understood that he needed people like Ollanius around him to keep him grounded. It's hard, when you're one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, to keep yourself in check and avoid letting all that infinite power going to your head. I thought that was a really nice touch to the story of the Emperor fighting Horus, reminding us that the God Emperor really was just an extremely powerful human man, with flaws and weaknesses. The emperor gets shit on a lot as this big blundering moron who's arrogance fucks the galaxy, but I think people miss how painfully aware the Emperor was of his flaws and weaknesses. All the people he respected, relied on and loved, abandoned him, aside from Malcador, and as a result he was kind of forced to rely on the leftovers, making due with people he knew couldn't keep up with him or even begin to understand his ideas or strategies. With this in mind, it kind of makes sense why he failed with his Primarchs. He kept them at arms length because he knew he couldn't truly rely on them yet, and that they wouldn't be able to protect the Emperor from himself. On the contrary, the Primarchs might very well have made him more vulnerable. This explains why it made him so angry and why he was so opposed to the people of the Imperium worshipping him as their god, despite the fact that he was, for all intents and purposes, the God of humanity. He knew it might go to his head and he knew what the potential consequences were. The Primarchs generally worshipped him anyways, each in their own way, whether as a father or a master or a God. At least this is what I got out of reading into Ollanius and his relationship with the big man.

[@brenster21]

[@TheDarkhorizons80]

Why would anyone even go to khorne. Remember, Angron wasn't Khorns first choice. That was Sanguinus and the 'Angels. And he's still after them. With no Angron, the Warhounds would have remained a loyalist legion most likely. Or those 2... might have become those 3 and the legion absorbed into others.

[@slightlyistorical1776]

I really enjoy the lore of Ollanius Pios/Persson, and I personally choose to believe him remaining a Christian could suggest a few things. He predated and survived the Catholic Church by thousands of years, lived to settle on distant worlds, fought gods and creatures that defied all logic and reason, witnessed countless trillions of human souls die in his millennium of service, literally time travelled just to get to the Emperor - and died with the Cross still around his neck. This unbreakable, disciple-level faith in the face of so many unexplainable horrors would suggest that he saw something to justify it. His piety would suggest that beyond the Immaterium, beyond Chaos, beyond the Aeldari, beyond the War in "Heaven", there exists only one true Creator who sent down His own son to die for the sins of Humanity, an ultimate authority who is beyond the knowledge, comprehension, or influence of any being, and whose known existence died with Ollanius in a Christ-like act of selflessness. Just imagine the fucking *_terror_* every single god and entity in WH40k would experience if they discovered the existence of a Creator who not only witnessed every single depraved action they had done and judged them for it, but could erase them from existence with zero effort. Imagine, similar to how the false Gods of ancient Earth were cast down, He sent St. Michael the Archangel to enact His divine justice, and how every single god would react as their powers, influence, and corruption are rendered completely useless as he effortlessly smites them and their legions, all in the name of the one true God.

This is more amazing since I've heard about the random guardsmen that shielded the emperor during the duel but I never imagined it was the last catholic

The emperor can read any book he wants so can the grey knights custodes and blanks right those are the one actually immune too chaos well unless they infront of 1 of the 4 gods they get corrupted but anything below that they are fine so yeah they should try too gain the knowledge

Here are some for possible consideration: What if every Astartes Legion staged a coup on the Emperor and took over the Imperium? How would they rule it and how successful would it be, compared to the canon Imperium? (this is all legions on the same side with minimal Chaos influence on events) What if 2 Primarchs held the Warmaster position cooperatively, under the assumption that those who would take issue at one Warmaster would respect the other one more and they could thus overall be more productive? Which nonhuman species would be the best fit for Chaos to take over and attain galactic dominance? If any one Loyalist and Traitor Primarch switched sides for the Horus Heresy, who would you choose for the best outcome for either the Loyalists, or the Traitors? What if the Silent King never got rid of his Command Protocols and took (almost) all the Necrons with him out of the galaxy to perhaps find a new and better one and come across the Tyranids? What if the Great Crusade had all the Primarchs and none turned Traitor, but there were no Astartes? What if the Beast Orks succeeded in defeating the Imperium? What if the Raptor Project succeeded/was never sabotaged? How would each Heresy/Crusade-era Primarch and Legion fare against the modern Tau Empire? What if one of the Primarchs landed on a xenos world and was raised by them? What if the Eldar managed to kill Angron before he was enslaved? What if another power rose to power during M31 instead of the Imperium, such as the Ullanor Orks, the Rangdan, or the Necrons via the Silent King returning early? What if the Beast Orks grew to threaten the Imperium before the Heresy could happen? What if the Tyranids arrived in M31, before the Heresy could happen?

For the chaos question, it would be Orks for Khorne.

Is is the emperors hubris but his hubris in believing his sons could resist chaos

He finally got a video! Lets gooooooooo!

[@Johan-tq3fk]

A video about, what if there were no loyalist elements in the traitor legions ,this would also count for omegon and magnus. So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces.. this would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the succes of the heresy.

[@interestingcan]

Thank youuuuu, just finished the End and the Death books and I wanted more of him.

[@Null_Experis]

I liked it better when he was a simple mortal Guardsman. It gave more gravitas to the sacrifice and made the Emperor's anger more justified. This simple man stood up to Horus himself to save the Emperor. It's such a noble sacrifice and embodies the best of humanity.

[@snowblind9551]

Nah, it was extremely silly for the Emperor to get so mad over a random guy he didn't know getting killed. Even TTS made fun of its absurdity.

[@Zouna92]

​@@snowblind9551 The emperor didn't get mad at a guardsmen death. The emperor realized that his son was dead, as he laughed at the self-sacrifice of Ollanius. "Giving your life for your own kind is the greatest honor, man can give." Yet Horus laughed at that act. That's the key point of that story, the emperor didn't see his son anymore, just another chaos being, and didn't hold back with his next strike. That story is much more meaningful imo.

[@snowblind9551]

@@Zouna92 But that's absurd. Think of the literal billions of innocent civilians Horus killed during the Heresy. I mean, Horus literally just killed Sanguinius, the Emperor's favorite son. The Emperor thought he was still redeemable after all that, but killing one Guardsman was the final straw? That's silly.

[@KnightspaceORG]

​@snowblind9551 I mean, families of serial killers often don't believe their child could do something like that until the evidence is right in their face. The denial is a strong drug.
