1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,200
What is going?

2
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:06,120
Oh, he's got a sentient backpack, a sentient pimp cane and a sentient

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,840
Thunderbird, the too many, too many things.

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,920
I've got a drum.

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,800
He's got a grumpy storm bird also.

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:15,920
He's so grumpy.

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,440
Not said he's he's got malevolent teacup.

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,680
And if you put the wrong kind of liquids in it, if you put like, you know,

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:28,320
like you put babies in it just spits it out in your eyes.

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,120
The non sentient poop knife.

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:01:00,040
Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Law Crime.

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,040
Today we'll take you on a journey from beginner to expert in Warhammer

13
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,880
law on this episode, we are going to be covering the Clone Lord, the

14
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,080
disgusting, but yet beautiful Fabius bile.

15
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,120
And now I will hand over to my illustrious coworker, my brother in

16
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,080
arms, Andy, to helm our beginner section.

17
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,400
Take it away, Andy.

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Okay.

19
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,240
Well, today we are talking about a particularly peculiar, I think is a

20
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,920
good way to describe him character in the Warhammer 40k universe.

21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,080
Very unique amongst Astartes for several reasons, but I suppose we'll

22
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,880
start with the basics, like who is Fabius or Fabius bile?

23
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,760
Some people say Fabius.

24
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,960
I'm never really sure the correct pronunciation myself, but I think the

25
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,720
correct one is Fabius, but I find Fabius sounds nicer, something about it.

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,960
I don't know, but either way.

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,000
So Fabius bile hails from the third Legion of the Adeptus

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,920
Custodes, Astartes, not Custodes.

29
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,360
And he was the Lieutenant Commander and Chief Apothecary of the third Legion.

30
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:15,520
Little bit of information about Fabius during the Horus heresy, prior to the

31
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Emperor's children's fall to chaos, Fabius was experimenting on how to

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,240
make the soldiers in the Legion stronger and he was one of, probably the main

33
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,080
reason why they fell so swiftly.

34
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,440
I think it's a fair point to say he was one of the main reasons, if not the main

35
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,480
reason that they fell to chaos.

36
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,320
I mean, a big nudge to give you a night.

37
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,720
He made Eidolon capable of like screaming his enemies to death.

38
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,240
He did all sorts of wacky experiments on not just the Astartes, but also

39
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,400
his Primarch Fulgrim.

40
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,480
And of all the characters in the lore, he is the most, I say, prolific

41
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Apothecary, the medic class of Astartes, of the soldiers.

42
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:07,760
And what's interesting about Fabius is he, although he is a pawn of chaos, to

43
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,760
an extent, he is not driven by power.

44
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,960
He's not driven by a want to wage war.

45
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,600
His entire modus operandi is he is in a never ending quest to find knowledge

46
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,440
and to create and to experiment.

47
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:30,320
So what's interesting about Fabius is, for example, everything is a means to an end.

48
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,240
He doesn't like the Ruinous powers as such.

49
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,880
He doesn't like demons.

50
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,040
He doesn't like chaos.

51
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,480
He believes that chaos and the warp is something you can explain scientifically.

52
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800
He doesn't believe that there are such things as gods.

53
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,120
He doesn't believe that, you know, that that that worshiping these quote

54
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,080
gods in his own tongue is worthwhile because they're just he's I don't know

55
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,520
what the word would be to describe them.

56
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,960
They're not quite apparitions, but he just sees them as like the

57
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,680
machinations of humanity.

58
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,360
They're almost like forces of nature.

59
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Yeah.

60
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:09,560
And he doesn't have that same zealous streak at his brothers in arms from the

61
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:16,520
third legion do, but he was, he was arguably the most liked of his legion by

62
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,040
Fulgrim.

63
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:17,840
Arguably.

64
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,600
He's a bit, I say, particularly with his appearance as well for the, the

65
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640
beautiful man, the gorgeous man that is Fulgrim.

66
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,240
I don't think one could say Fabius was made in his image.

67
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,480
Maybe, maybe not.

68
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,320
But he always respected him as like, I feel like I'm sure I've read, like I've

69
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,440
been reading the, listening to the Fabius Bile books recently and there's all these

70
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,800
mentions of, you know, he always liked you the most because, you know, you were

71
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,320
keeping things, you know, you were doing the most for the legion.

72
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,720
You had your head on properly.

73
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,760
I'm like, I'm not going to be pushed.

74
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:03,400
You know, but he's, he's always been, there's lots of mentions in, for example,

75
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,160
the 41st millennium where people are saying, oh, the legion shattered.

76
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,360
You're the only one who can bring us back from the brink and make us a

77
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,040
fragment of our former glory.

78
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Because more than anyone else, because he wasn't so decadent as the other

79
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,680
emperor's children, he, he was able to kind of, to collar them and reel them

80
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,280
in a little bit.

81
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,720
Fabius has done a lot of weird stuff over the 41st of the, what, 10 years?

82
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,360
The first of the 10,000 plus years.

83
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,160
That is the biggest understatement I think anybody has ever said in the

84
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,040
Warhammer lore.

85
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,120
Did you have anything in mind that you would say was particularly

86
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,360
weird that you can think of?

87
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:52,240
I think the, for, if you are new to Warhammer, particularly, Fabius as an

88
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,560
apothecary, you think, oh, healer, you know, you know, it's not like in other,

89
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,240
I guess, fancy settings, but like the healer is usually like the calm, good guy.

90
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Fabius is definitely a neutral evil, shall we say?

91
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,320
Yeah.

92
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,200
And the parts where he would, I think, I was reading the Lucius book and he just

93
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,480
straight up is just experimenting and putting like alien DNA in things.

94
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,760
Just being like, why are you doing that?

95
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Why not?

96
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,960
Is the biggest answer always, why not?

97
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,280
When you, when you brought up, when you brought up, he was like the medic.

98
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,720
And then when he said, you brought up Eidolon, I can't help but imagine him as

99
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,440
the medic from team Fortress 2.

100
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,880
He's just shoving like baboon hearts at the people.

101
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,520
Oh, that is cursed.

102
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,080
Yeah.

103
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,760
He actually was the person who saved Nathaniel Garrow from dying.

104
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,360
Uh, when he, he lost his leg, who was the person who treated his wounds.

105
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,720
Fabius Bar was the first person to get to him and treat his leg.

106
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,640
And if in a weird way, if it wasn't for Fabius, maybe the loyalist war effort

107
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,040
wouldn't have really on off as it comes to law crime.

108
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,760
I know the police outside.

109
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,000
You can't, uh, can't conflict any legs in the law.

110
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,880
How dare you utter this heresy that maybe Fabius was integral to the events

111
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,720
leading to the, you know, the loyalist war effort anyway.

112
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,200
Um, so yeah, he, he's actually a really good medic.

113
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,680
He's, he's, you know, he's, he's so good at being a medic.

114
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,800
He regularly performs surgeries on himself.

115
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,080
Uh, he, he has cloned his body.

116
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,120
And so to say that Fabius that is alive in the 41st millennium is alive, isn't

117
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,160
really true.

118
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,320
He's a clone of his former self with like an imprinted version of his mind.

119
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,160
The Fabius has been dead a long time, but there's so many copies of him.

120
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,800
Every time he dies, he jumps into a new body.

121
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,520
He has fail saves in place.

122
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,320
So if someone betrays it, cause you know, chaos guys aren't the most trustworthy of

123
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
guys in the 41st millennium.

124
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,280
That's shocking.

125
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,640
They're actually horrible accusation.

126
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:05,960
Cannot believe.

127
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:12,040
You know, inflated skin, not really the guys you'd leave your house keys with, but

128
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,600
like, yeah.

129
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,600
Um, so anytime he's, he's, he get it.

130
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,960
He even gets a sniff of betrayal and he gets stabbed in the back.

131
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Doesn't matter.

132
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,160
He's got a bot, he's got a new body on the ship he's currently at wherever he is

133
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,240
that just activates.

134
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,640
And then he's like, plump.

135
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,080
Oh, I'm alive again.

136
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:29,720
No worries.

137
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:35,360
Kind of like budget necrons, um, which there is even an exchange with him and

138
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Tres in the infinite where he's like, Oh, you're doing a primitive version of what

139
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:39,840
we do.

140
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,440
And he's like, go away.

141
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:43,680
I don't like Xenos.

142
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:49,280
And, you know, fun times with, with two of the, arguably the two smartest people in

143
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,160
the galaxy or some of the smartest people in the galaxy.

144
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,640
You know, can't, can't do too much.

145
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,320
I enjoyed that.

146
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:56,960
Like the galaxy is the emperor.

147
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,720
I really enjoyed that conversation between Tres in the infinite and Fabius

148
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,680
because it's such a, they obviously they're in both in different realms.

149
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:11,440
So if you are like new and you don't know who Tres in is Tres in is a necron

150
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:18,320
overlord, obviously an un kind of a semi undead Egyptian metal dude.

151
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,480
And Fabius is obviously the, I guess they kind of the epitome of what is a machine

152
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,560
genius.

153
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:28,160
And in a way, like obviously the genius of the flesh, if you know what I mean?

154
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,680
So they kind of represent two pillars of, uh, different viewpoints, but they

155
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:35,200
obviously, I think there's a brilliant point, isn't it?

156
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,680
Where they said why I think Fabius asks Tres in why we're even talking.

157
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,960
And then Tres in says, because I was curious.

158
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,440
And then Fabius goes, yes, I understand.

159
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Yes.

160
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,400
Well that curiosity often gets them in trouble as well.

161
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,320
Indeed.

162
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,600
They're no Eldred, but I guess they're okay.

163
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:53,120
Yeah.

164
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:53,320
Yeah.

165
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,000
Oh, I had to bring it down to elves in me.

166
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,160
I knew it was coming.

167
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:58,320
Yeah.

168
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,960
I'm not going to support a traitor.

169
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,240
They're not going to let that slide either.

170
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,520
They're no techless.

171
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Oh, I know.

172
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,640
It has to bring it back to elves.

173
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,320
You know, be sick everywhere.

174
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,840
The true, the true PXK.

175
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Anyway, to be sure that, all right, we can move on from what you said.

176
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,440
But to do a 180 and get back to the light of the emperor.

177
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,160
So Fabius has also been trying to replicate a lot of stuff that the emperor first did.

178
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,840
He was very much inspired by, Oh, the emperor is a really good scientist.

179
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:34,320
I want to kind of, I want to make better things than he did, which has had mixed results.

180
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,760
He has his own little bunch of what he calls children.

181
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:44,560
And he's a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

182
00:10:44,560 --> 00:11:14,360
very faitesed man who was aAdvancenete, who was a nocturnal

183
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:21,720
and technologies. I don't want to give too much away. He has a consortium, which is a group of

184
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:30,120
Astartes who are apothecaries of various traitor legions, who are drawn to him because they know

185
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:35,240
he's a smart guy and they want to learn from him. So he's got like apprentices from like all the

186
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,400
traitor legions who are part of his like inner circle that he gathers occasionally and says,

187
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:47,960
okay, what kind of Geneva Convention breaking experiments can we do today class? And they go,

188
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:56,280
well, let's think about it. And yet very, very interesting motivations as far as a character goes.

189
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:04,200
I think that's a fairly broad way of going into Fabius Bial as a character.

190
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,560
Did we have any questions? What I've already mentioned already?

191
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:13,480
I think I have a slight one, which is about how I think in a lot of the books as well,

192
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,640
it doesn't necessarily, there's no like crystallizing, I think moment of when,

193
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,160
because a lot of times when you meet Fabius Bial in Warhammer, you kind of, you know, we're

194
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,560
like either, you know, we're the Imperium usually. And we kind of, you just like, oh, look, there's

195
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:34,680
that kind of slightly balding apothecary. I bet he's not too bad. And then you-

196
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,720
He's not Frankenstein, get him. Yeah. And then you just, it's one of those things

197
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:45,880
about his darkness and his kind of roguish, roguish, rogue, roguility, is that even a word?

198
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,560
His roguishness is like revealed to us later on in his-

199
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,000
Renegade-ness.

200
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Renegade-ness. That's a great one. Yeah.

201
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,920
His roguish gilliman-ness.

202
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,080
Roguis gilliman-ness.

203
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,080
Renegade-ity.

204
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,520
There's no like, kind of, yeah, it's like one of those things where I never know if he

205
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:10,040
was always like that, particularly in the Horus Heresy Legion, or if that's something he became.

206
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,080
I wondered if that was a-

207
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,200
I think over time he got jaded. That's the way I read it, at least. Like there's stuff

208
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,240
in like his trilogy of books where people have said, you know, you could have led the

209
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,800
third legion back to glory. You could have done this, you could have done that. And he

210
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:30,280
has several times where he goes, we were idiots for doing the heresy. We never would have won.

211
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,560
And we were fools. And look what happened to the- and it's point- and he's very much like, ah,

212
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:42,680
oh well. I just need- his main motivation in those books is, I need to do my great works before I die.

213
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:46,280
And that's all that matters. He doesn't care about surviving. He doesn't care about

214
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,160
living forever or immortality. It's like, I need to do the things that I think are important.

215
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,400
And then when I've done those, I can die and be happy. And that's an interesting-

216
00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,120
that's an interesting motivation considering the rest of his kind of camp of the rogues gallery.

217
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,560
And like, I want to be the ruler of the galaxy and I want to live forever and eat baby hearts.

218
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:09,640
And it's like, oh god, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Chaos.

219
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,040
It's kind of cool even, because even outside of chaos, a lot of factions, 40k are just,

220
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:19,400
like, I just want to survive the next five minutes and fabulously just be like,

221
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,200
as long as I get what I got to get done, I'm good. I can die.

222
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,200
And also, he dies on a regular basis. Like, no, no worries. It's okay. Don't worry.

223
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,800
We just hop bodies real quick. Don't mind me. Copy, paste, new Fabius, done.

224
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:39,800
I think that's the only big one I had really. Colin, you got anything you need to like really

225
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,400
get off your chest about Fabius? It's a question that I feel like might

226
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,120
be answered more in the expert section, but I'll ask it now anyways. And if it is, you can just

227
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:59,240
say we'll get to it. I'm guessing there seems to be a lot of parallels between him and the emperor.

228
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:07,480
It just seems like Fabius, the emperor has like three morals, lines he doesn't cross,

229
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:16,280
and Fabius has zero. Have they ever worked together? Because that would seem like that'd be

230
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:23,480
natural. I don't think they have. I don't think so.

231
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,280
But he has some opinions on the emperor's work. Oh, well, yeah, there's a kind of semi-famous

232
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,760
thing where he was like, he's an egalitarian Fabius. He's like, why didn't the emperor make

233
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,800
women into Astartes? That's a waste of resources. You're like, oh, he would have made like female

234
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:43,400
space marines. Because like some of his children who are the Astartes killers are female warriors.

235
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:50,040
And so he just goes, oh, are they strong? Okay, I'll pick any of them. I'll just breed. You guys

236
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:55,000
can keep breeding through genetic mutations and stuff and get stronger. And he's got like his

237
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,200
favored child who I can't remember her name off the top of my head, but she's like the best at

238
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:05,000
killing. And he's like, ah, I think it's not really affectionate towards me.

239
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,400
The idea of him being like gender neutral is in like, you think it's a nice bit,

240
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:14,680
like, because obviously it's Fabius Bialycer is like, I respect all people. All people are materials.

241
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:24,760
Everyone is equally material. Yes. It's not the way we hope it to be. It's like a bit dark,

242
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:32,600
bit dark. He was this close to being an ally. Deep down, our hearts are all the same. And I

243
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:41,560
would like to look at all of them. I think that's all the questions covered. I think we'll head on

244
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:48,520
to the expert section then hit us, hit us with the good law. Fabius Bialy is the greatest apothecary

245
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:55,160
and perhaps the most ingenious human being to ever live. He is the primogenitor, spider,

246
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:01,640
clone lord and man flair. It was largely because of Fabius that the third Legion fell so far beyond

247
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,760
recognition during the horse heresy. Yet he created monstrous warriors who were enhanced far beyond

248
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:13,480
a regular space Marine. In fact, in his opinion, perhaps improved upon as a space Marine.

249
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,600
Many mad scientists and crazed geniuses have come from humble and at times even uncorrupted

250
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:26,840
beginnings. Fabius though, had a glint of madness and psychopathy at the beginning of his very youth.

251
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,600
This would slowly shape him into one of the most influential men of the Imperium and perhaps the

252
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:39,480
entire galaxy. So Fabius was born and raised upon Terra in Northern Europa. He learned the ways of

253
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,120
flesh crafting from a very young age. Teachers showed him the ways of creating life and Fabius

254
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:49,400
reveled in discovery. One of his very first and greatest being the ability to replace pain with

255
00:17:49,400 --> 00:18:00,440
pleasure, which we will see be a very big deal. To answer your question earlier, how

256
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000
yes, Fabius was messed up from the very beginning, essentially. I was going to say how young is he?

257
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,760
Was that standard procedure? Like, you know, the snappers chose him to get shot instead of

258
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:19,560
screaming in pain, he busts a nut. I mean, at the end of the heresy, literally though.

259
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,040
I mean, I suppose Fabius was when that started to change. It was like, we are perfect and we

260
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,040
are good boys. And then I know there was the whole thing with the Third Legion where their

261
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:35,720
jean stores got decimated by a virus. And so... Oh yeah. Let's do it, let's do it.

262
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:43,480
So before departing as part of the tithe to the Space Marine Legion, Fabius was taught one last

263
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:50,120
lesson by his mentor. That no matter how much flesh is changed, the soul itself will never change,

264
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:55,560
and the soul is what matters. You would think it'd be a little wholesome, but compared to a

265
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,960
situation it probably was not as nice as you think it is.

266
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:05,720
Yes. Not from the teacher that was like teaching him to feel pleasure from pain. The

267
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:11,320
changes looked mysteriously into his eyes. That's a bit too far.

268
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240
And the starties of your age will notice that your body is changing.

269
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,840
Okay. When an Astartes and a Lady love each other very much,

270
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:30,040
very much. There was nothing happening there. Move on. Unless they're the Space Wolf.

271
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,840
So, Fabius would later find himself in the Third Legion, the Emperor's children. The best Legion.

272
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:45,640
Here, he would truly begin his destiny. The Third was a struggling yet noble group at the time,

273
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:51,000
barely holding onto life due to a disastrous event involving their jean seed. The Emperor

274
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,560
recently theorized a solution to the quickly deteriorating jean stock of the Space Brains,

275
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,040
but for further research, each Legion was required to send their jean seed reserves to Luna.

276
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,640
And the Emperor's children's jean stock would disappear under very mysterious circumstances.

277
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,760
We will find out where these jean stock went later in the video.

278
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,360
Far worse than this though, the jean stores on Terra would be corrupted by a terrible virus,

279
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:22,520
leading to the eradication of the entire reserve of the Emperor's children's jeans.

280
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,920
This is when Fabius came in. He would come to the grim realization that the jean blight had not

281
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:35,960
ended on Terra, but survived to taint the Legion itself. And, as time went on, more of his brothers

282
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:42,440
would perish. Bile would become highly desensitized in the face of loss. Already making him more of a

283
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:54,600
psychopath. Or sociopath in this sense. There was nothing Fabius could do but catalog the

284
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,240
infected jean seed as he watched the Legion crumble around him. His first breakthrough

285
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,280
was barely that. He discovered a means to test for the contagion in his living brothers,

286
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,240
which would appear to be the time of his fall. Or pushing over the edge.

287
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,240
Before the Legion had even found Fulgrim, Fabius was on the path to damnation.

288
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,480
Yet, like many of his brothers who would later fall, his descent was largely determined by

289
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,560
unfortunate position and situation. He did what he had to do. Orders came in to the Emperor's

290
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,360
children demanding that all tainted jean seed be destroyed. This included the jean seed of the

291
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:34,360
living. So began the isolation and madness of Fabius. It was his job to test the brothers for

292
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:41,160
this flaw. And his job to decide who died. He became the judge, jury, and executioner. A butcher.

293
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:48,600
All of his comrades became nothing but biomass to him. Flesh to be cut open and studied. He was truly

294
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:55,000
hated. Fabius was already an estranged and eccentric individual. And all this simply pushed him into

295
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:00,440
the realm of the mad genius. One of his greatest, most iconic mechanical creations would arise from

296
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,640
this time. And I might say this wrong, but it was the Chirurgen.

297
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,600
Or Ky-Rur-Gen.

298
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Ky-Rur-Gen.

299
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,160
There is no correct pronunciation. It's Ky-Rur-Gen.

300
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,160
I always thought it was Chirurgen.

301
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:13,960
Uh-uh.

302
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,400
It's Charlie for short. It's Charlie. We'll call it Charlie for now.

303
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:27,400
The Chirurgen is a very, very cool and evolving invention. At the time-

304
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,360
Very weird.

305
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:34,680
Yes. This spider-like machine was simply used as an assistant in his work. But over the millennia,

306
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:40,920
it would grow a sentience of its own and become far more malign. Andy, do you have anything else

307
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,440
special to say about this?

308
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,840
I have a lot of notes about the Chirurgen. So, um-

309
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:47,320
Charlie.

310
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:47,880
Charlie.

311
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:56,440
Charlie. So, yeah. Fabius kind of invented it and tweaked it over the years. But as soon as

312
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:05,720
he started to reside in the Eye of Terror, it kind of gained sentience. Just a little bit. Not too

313
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:13,720
much, but it can think. And it became an amalgamation of technology and warp sorcery.

314
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:21,720
So, this thing is charged with the warp. So, in the 41st millennium, by dint of wearing it,

315
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,720
Fabius is pumped with Eikor, which strengthens him and makes him stronger than a regular Astartes.

316
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:35,720
He can also use the Chirurgen to inject his allies, but the results are a bit hit and miss.

317
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,880
Sometimes, temporarily, they get really strong. Other times, their metabolism skyrockets and they

318
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,240
basically eat themselves from within. There's all sorts of weird things that happen with this

319
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,040
backpack he wears. It's a backpack.

320
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,040
It's like a Tech Marine backpack almost.

321
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,040
Yeah, like the backpack from Dora with the face on it. I think that's it.

322
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:04,040
Dora is an explorer, but she makes things in the warehouse from the inside of the Chirurgen model.

323
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:10,600
And this is what he uses to do- when he's awake, he uses this to do surgeries on himself. So,

324
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,400
of course, that's how he does it. He has this thing that can think and it's kind of warped.

325
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:22,760
It's crazy. It's got 10,000 years of his own tweaks and messing around.

326
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,280
So that's how he performs surgeries on himself.

327
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:37,800
Weird thing about this thing, at one point it went missing. And Fabius was like, yo, consortium,

328
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,000
my children, can't find my backpack. Can you go look for it?

329
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,880
We got a problem.

330
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:50,280
He finds it, and it's given birth to a bunch of eggs.

331
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,360
Given birth- I don't like that.

332
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:53,880
Whoa, where's this going?

333
00:24:53,880 --> 00:25:01,160
And the eggs have hatched mini-Chirurgens. And Bayer was really kind of like, that's weird.

334
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:07,560
And he really, really wanted to dissect it and go, what the hell is going on in here?

335
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:14,520
But he didn't in the end because his train of thought was, I have few enough allies as it is.

336
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,560
This thing literally helps me do surgery on myself. I'm not going to betray that trust.

337
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,840
That's a weird thing, right?

338
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:25,400
That's weird.

339
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,040
That's weird.

340
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,920
Yo, you- go ahead, Colin.

341
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,080
I guess, I mean, I get it. Like you said, he's a chaos marine.

342
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,600
You gotta take what frenzy can get.

343
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,880
Even if it's a weird backpack thing.

344
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,880
I'm not saying it's ideal. In fact, it's probably about as far as you can get from ideal, but-

345
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Trust your backpack. Is this the wrong center?

346
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,280
Yeah.

347
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,760
Then again, this is coming from a guy who literally has a lab coat made of human skin.

348
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,000
Yeah.

349
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,800
So like, yeah. Swings around about, it's like, yeah, my backpack's given birth to a bunch of baby

350
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,840
backpacks, but at the same time I'm wearing Darren and-

351
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,360
Wearing Darren.

352
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:14,280
You know, there's a little bit of Frank over here. You know, like not the most stable place to-

353
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,600
He is not good at interior. He's not good at interior decoration,

354
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,720
but he's very good at making coats. God, that's weird. That is weird.

355
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,600
It's quite neat. It's girly.

356
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,160
Of course you like it.

357
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,640
That's weird. Me. That's weird. He like, it's pretty cool.

358
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:39,400
It's grown flesh in the most recent time and some of his lackeys found it eating things,

359
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:46,920
even though it doesn't really eat. But yes. Anyways, let's go back to the

360
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,920
30th millennium for a little bit. So you're talking about Fabius calling the taint from

361
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:58,360
the Emperor's Children Legion. And he does, successfully. So once the taint is finally

362
00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:03,160
purged from the Legion, Fabius would add his own genes to the records as he tied up the loose ends.

363
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:10,200
This would bring the realization that all along he had been infected. It is unconfirmed how he did it,

364
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,400
but Fabius's record would come out as clean, and his only friend would be found tainted.

365
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,840
It is thought then that in an act of incredible betrayal,

366
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:24,520
Bile would swap his record with this space marine named Lykeon, one of the tiny few who he could

367
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,640
call friend. This man would then become a reanimated thrall within Bile's lab.

368
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,200
So he got to keep his friend in the end.

369
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,520
In one way or another.

370
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,840
He's carrying him as dad. He's like, I keep you in a tank.

371
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,060
Yes.

372
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,960
Oh, kind of sad.

373
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Yeah, it is too bad. No one really liked him after that.

374
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,440
Well, no one ever really liked him, except for that one guy.

375
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,920
That one guy, the cleaner, who doesn't come around anymore.

376
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,040
I'm pretty sure Julius Ace-1 liked him for a while until he was just obsessed with heavy metal.

377
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:09,800
Yeah. So when the Legion finally found Fulgrim, Fabius was the only apothecary left,

378
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:16,520
and the Legion numbered a meager 200. He had single-handedly saved the Legion from the blight,

379
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,840
but this feat would be shadowed by the innumerable men he had slaughtered in the process.

380
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:26,200
Fabius would later become one of the extremely few of the 200 that still live to this day.

381
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,960
Fulgrim would see a cynicism in Fabius that he thought negatively of, but aside from this,

382
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,320
he treated the apothecary with great respect and even stood up for him.

383
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,920
He told everyone to stop calling him Spider,

384
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,480
which was the nickname he got because he wore the crown.

385
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:42,040
He didn't like it.

386
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:49,640
So Fulgrim was actually nice to him, and saw a potential in him, I suppose. And as a result,

387
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:56,440
he would offer Fabius many promotions of rank, but Fabius would always decline

388
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,360
because rank meant nothing to him.

389
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,400
And that relationship would be important later on as well.

390
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:07,560
He often ignored the chain of command completely and operated almost as a separate entity, locked

391
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,560
away in his laboratories. Despite this, he was an incredibly skilled teacher, and the apothecaries

392
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,680
of the Third would become amongst the best in the Imperium. This skill at teaching would never leave

393
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,040
Fabius and is a large component of his success today.

394
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,680
In his time studying mutants of an enemy force, Fulgrim would discover the chilling reality of

395
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,800
Fabius' beliefs. That the space marines are imperfect, the Emperor's work is fallible,

396
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,880
and it is his job to succeed where the Emperor had failed. Despite his complaints and opinions,

397
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,280
the Spider would later become chief apothecary and lieutenant commander of the Third,

398
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,480
bringing him an even larger degree of autonomy. Guy can basically do whatever he wants.

399
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,440
And it doesn't take much to get him to do whatever he wants.

400
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:58,520
He's doing Fulgrim's plastic surgery. You do not mess with Fabius' bio. It's too important.

401
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,520
But where does he put the plastic?

402
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,520
These are the big questions we need to know.

403
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,520
Some truths and some questions are best left unsaid.

404
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,520
Wherever and however it fits.

405
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:23,160
So now we arrive at Laren, the beginning of the end for the Emperor's children.

406
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:29,160
In the conflict against the Lair race, Fabius would discover the prospect and intrigue of genetic

407
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:35,000
alteration, finding that many of the aliens were altered in ways to fit in their theatre of war or

408
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,680
place in society. To Fabius, this means of improvement was a step towards perfection,

409
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,160
and while Fulgrim would be appalled at first, he would eventually allow the apothecary to improve

410
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:50,440
upon his battle brothers. This obsession with evolution and progress would only proliferate

411
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:55,480
within the mad scientists throughout the millennia. Working night and day, Fabius would tirelessly

412
00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,920
begin experimentations to enhance the Legion, and when the day came, Lord Commander Eidolon would be

413
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:06,840
the first to feel the scalpel of the spider. Unfortunately for him, it was not revealed that

414
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,720
Xeno's flesh and genetics were to be implanted in this horrid work until he was already strapped to

415
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:26,120
the table. Eidolon would later awake stronger and further tainted than before. His newfound powers

416
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,680
were later displayed against the Eldar as he emitted an ear-splitting nerve-shredding shriek,

417
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,400
that could literally destroy swaths of enemies and even armored transports.

418
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:08,920
Like, that was pretty weird. And so again, like Fabius being involved in the very opening stages

419
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:16,520
of the Horus heresy. Well, I particularly, I remember reading some of the Fulgrim books,

420
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:23,400
the part I like as well is Fulgrim, although if you do end up reading a lot of Horus heresy books,

421
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:30,280
it feels very fast that Fulgrim falls, but if you remember, it's after like 200 years of the great

422
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:36,840
crusades, it's a long time. But the part I think I enjoy about it with like the Fabius, the part

423
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:43,560
where Fulgrim comes to Fabius and they're starting to experiment on their own legion. Fabius essentially

424
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:50,360
hasn't changed the entire time. He was always that person. She's like, Fulgrim at this point,

425
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:56,680
you know, basically after 200 years, he goes, you know, I will not let Xeno's DNA be part of me.

426
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:02,680
And Fabius just goes, but you might fail the Emperor if you're not perfect. And he goes,

427
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:11,000
damn, you got a point there. In that kind of vein, is it right if I slip in a quick quote for Colin

428
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:17,080
to read? Oh, of course. I'm excited for this one. Okay. So this, this, I think this, this ties in

429
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:22,040
with what Hal was saying about like the ends justify the means with Fabius. So here you go,

430
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:27,480
Colin. All right. Let me, let me, let me get my, my dramatic voice reading.

431
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,480
If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he will die unthanked and

432
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,760
unremembered. If he exercises his genius, bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo

433
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:46,440
down through the millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to ignomy.

434
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:51,320
Oof. That sounds like Fabius. That's Fabius.

435
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,400
Just a little bit haunting there, doesn't it? This sounds like a game show.

436
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,480
That sounds like Fabius.

437
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:06,280
And Fabius does change eventually, not necessarily for the better, but his,

438
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:13,000
his direction and motives change a bit after the Horus Heresy, I'd say.

439
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:20,200
They evolve in all the wrong ways. Yeah. For the most part. I think actually I'd say

440
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:30,040
41st millennium Fabius might actually maybe be a slightly better person than 30k Fabius.

441
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:35,320
Yeah. He's more repentant. He's more like, he's more sorry for some of the things he's done. He's

442
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,200
full of regrets to an extent. Well, we'll get there eventually.

443
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:48,520
So Fabius's greatest discovery and undoing of the chapter would once again be the linking of pain

444
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,320
and pleasure receptors within Astartes. He knew how to do it with humans, but not with Astartes

445
00:34:53,320 --> 00:35:00,360
until now. He would create a superior Osmodula, making space marine bones more virtually

446
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,320
indestructible than they already were. The sonic shriek spoken of earlier was the result of an

447
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:11,400
altered Betcher's gland using laryn hormones. These were only a few of his many improvements

448
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:16,920
to the space Marines under his scalpel. And I mean, if the Legion didn't turn into a bunch of

449
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:22,600
crazed maniacs, he probably could have done a pretty good job at making a formidable force.

450
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,440
It's always cool whenever someone brings up the Betcher's gland. I feel like it doesn't happen

451
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:32,440
often enough. Yeah, I know. We want more Betcher's Glam videos and films on Netflix.

452
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,440
Shout out to my Betcher's gland people.

453
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,120
Shout out to Betcher's gland people.

454
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,720
I know it's silly, but you spit acid. That's metal as hell.

455
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:49,800
Yeah. Yeah. He did come to his probably most important breakthrough at the time for,

456
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:56,760
well, ruining the Legion. It would involve splicing Xenos DNA to create a drug which would

457
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:03,240
greatly increase Legionary's already incredible metabolism and strength. And under the influence

458
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:07,800
of the Lair Blade, Fulgrim would give the Apothecary permission to distribute the drug

459
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:20,920
en masse to the entire Legion. Bad times. So Mr. Marius Ferozian would be another of Fabius's great

460
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,720
works as he became the very first blessed noise Marine. Not blessed at the time, I guess, but

461
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:31,960
still. They were called cacophony back then. And Fabius is somewhat of a father to all

462
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,960
cacophony, at least the original ones. And all of the ones in the 41st millennium are either

463
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,960
originals that he made or they're just improvements upon what he made or versions of what he made. So

464
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:49,880
that's a little cool connection he has with all of the noise Marines he sees in 40k. He even

465
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,920
recognizes one as his own work when he meets a little coven of them, but that's later. So

466
00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:02,760
Marius is given a similar streak as Eidolon, as well as other auditory enhancements. After many

467
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:08,120
surgeries, Marius would descend into barely contained madness, an unfortunate fate of much

468
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:15,400
of the third. His flesh was a prison and every sensation was ramped up to 1000%. Slight ire felt

469
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,120
as burning hot rage and the smallest pleasure became an orgasmic sensation of bliss.

470
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:27,880
Yo, let's go. Let's go. Almost as sensitive as the elder are.

471
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:38,200
With the blessings of Slaanesh and the apothecary's knife, you're always left wanting more,

472
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,720
never getting enough. Many of these enhancements would become widespread throughout the Legion,

473
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:48,760
and Fabius worked tirelessly to continue his craft. By the time of the Dropsite Massacre,

474
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:53,480
the Space Marines of the third were unrecognizable monsters. Mouths were permanently

475
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,960
distended, eyes stitched open, speakers and amplifiers were stuffed into flesh,

476
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,560
ears were split open, and those are only the small things.

477
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,880
While the Lair temple was a great tragedy and unwilling corruption to the Dark Prince,

478
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:14,600
Fabius gave the Legion right into Slaanesh's hands. Upon Istvan V,

479
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:19,400
Bile would create his infamous coat of flesh from the fallen of this horrid conflict.

480
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:24,440
It was around this time that he developed the Cyclos Needler, which Andy, would you

481
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:30,520
tell us about that? So, let's talk about the Cyclos Needler briefly. So, the Cyclos Needler

482
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:39,960
is basically like a very big dart gun, and it contains Cyclos serums on… usually it contains

483
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:46,760
three Cyclos serums. One containing hypervenom, one hallucinogens, and one pyroclasmites.

484
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:56,040
Basically, Fabius used this as a way to be like, it's inevitable I'm going to be fighting Astartes,

485
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,280
but while I'm doing that, I can glean some information and do some experiments. So,

486
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,800
he uses this to like… when he shoots his enemies, not only does he kill them, but he gets to observe

487
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,840
how they die, and he gets to experiment with the toxins he creates. So, he's a bit of an overachiever.

488
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,160
He's like, I'm not going to just kill you, I'm going to kind of take advantage of this opportunity

489
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:21,800
to like further my own scientific intrigue and curiosity. So, it's a bit messed up. It was

490
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:28,280
actually developed when he analyzed genetic material from the blanks or nulls of the Imperium.

491
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:35,800
And it's because of this, because of the null's ability to stifle psychic powers or warp powers,

492
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:42,280
it's particularly effective when warding off and fighting demons. And pretty much, as far as I can

493
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:47,240
tell, Fabius is pretty much the only one who still uses one, because he developed it.

494
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,440
Only the third legion had it. They're kind of decimated as it is, more or less.

495
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,400
I'm not seeing any Primaris with Xikos Needles, that's all I'm saying.

496
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,560
Yet. Yet.

497
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:08,280
It's pretty funny, he has like every piece of equipment he's got is just like cursed. Like,

498
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:13,000
it's just, you know, like, you know, Dora the backpack with children.

499
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,840
I don't want to talk about the gun, Eli, but there is another important piece we could talk about.

500
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:26,200
No, there is. Does he own, one of you owns anything ordinary, like a Rubik's Cube or something?

501
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:32,120
Even his hairbrush is cursed, I'm saying. He's got a cursed hairbrush with a thousand souls in it,

502
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,560
which when he combs his hair, it makes sure it doesn't get in his eyes. Like, he's got all sorts

503
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,760
of weird stuff. He's not gotten his third piece of equipment quite yet, though. So we'll wait,

504
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:47,720
we'll have to wait a little bit for that. But yes, the Needler is quite awesome. Is that all

505
00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:51,400
you wanted to say? I presume? Pretty much. Unless you have anything else to add.

506
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:58,040
Well, there was one moment where we see that he's actually created serums that affect demons.

507
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:05,880
You didn't think would be a thing. He shoots the Needler at a keeper of secrets, I believe it was,

508
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,800
and it like basically boils and bubbles and eats itself alive.

509
00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:15,240
Doesn't he get reborn? It has a go at him. He's like, I hate you because you shot me with that

510
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:22,280
thing last time. Yeah. There's like Fabius in his retinue, and I think it's the second book,

511
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,000
and they're like being confronted by a demon, a grey demon. And they're like, why have you got

512
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,320
such animosity to each other? It's like, I merely shot him with the Needler and he like melted and

513
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:38,280
he's not really gotten over it. And you're like, oh, okay. He's a slonest demon. I thought it would

514
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:49,240
turn him on. Like, damn, Chex notes, Brian, let it go. Forgive and forget. Was it keeper of secrets,

515
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:59,480
Brian? It's just sad. Okay. So, the Legion now on the way to further conquests, Fabius would find

516
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:05,880
himself in a dire situation. The flesh blight had finally caught up with him, and he reckoned only

517
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:12,200
a single year remained within his case of flesh. Using elixirs of his making, he would hide his

518
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:17,800
condition, but it still seeped through. After years of surgery upon himself, his skin had become a

519
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:24,280
map of stitches. His eyes darkened and he grew gaunt. This must have been a possible point

520
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:30,040
in which he began his legacy of the Clone Lord as he researched ways to survive. In fact,

521
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,480
he likely performed just as many surgeries on himself as he did his brothers. Fabius would

522
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:40,680
eventually develop a way of transferring his consciousness to a new body. But the blights

523
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:47,000
always remained unchangeable and forever clinging to his DNA. This was parallel to the necrons in

524
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,560
a weird way. Like, no matter what you do, it's in your genes now. It's not going away.

525
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:59,400
And there's, yeah. And I think he's later. I'll talk about the later. That's later in this.

526
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,400
Nevermind. So, spoilers. He didn't do this out of fear of death,

527
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,040
or a need of self-preservation. He simply worked to stay alive so that his work could continue

528
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,760
and one day be complete. He had not yet gained the mindset that he has today,

529
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:18,280
but Fabius would eventually become almost a father to the future, a benefactor for his new

530
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:25,640
lineage of creation. More on that later. While this happened, Fulgrim had become fully possessed

531
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:30,680
by the demon within the Lair Blade. He would execute Eidolon for questioning him, but Fabius

532
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:36,200
would later reattach the Lord Commander's head to a new body. More importantly, Lucius would see

533
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,920
through the lies of Fulgrim's demon and call a meeting of brothers to exercise it. With the

534
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:46,600
help of Julius, Marius, and Lucius, the spider is able to devise a way to rid Fulgrim of the entity,

535
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:53,800
or theoretically at least. So genius and twisted was the apothecary that he gleaned the ability to

536
00:43:53,800 --> 00:44:00,040
inflict unimaginable pain upon the godlike physiology of an actual Primark, which might

537
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:09,080
not sound crazy, but it's very impressive. Even for Fulgrim as well, for people who

538
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:14,760
know just of the Primark, a lot of them had unique abilities. And it's said that I think

539
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:22,840
Fulgrim, out of all of them, his specialty was that he had very, very quick healing,

540
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,600
didn't he, compared to a lot of his brothers. There's a part where it's mentioned they were

541
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:32,680
like carving, I think a ritual scar or something into him and he had to try and concentrate to

542
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:39,720
not let his healing outheal him. With his transformation into a big snake creature.

543
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:43,960
It's like, yeah, the shedding skin parable, like, yeah, he literally transformed because

544
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:50,760
he's so quick at healing. He shed his prior self to be reborn as whatever he is now.

545
00:44:50,760 --> 00:45:00,520
I like that. He's not listening. Heresy! Heresy! Where is the inquisition? Get the inquisition.

546
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,360
I love when I hear a voice in the corner just going like, let me do bro.

547
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,280
The Fabius books are very nice because you actually get to hear about Fulgrim for the

548
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:17,640
first time in a billion years of Warhammer novels of 40k. Because they just kind of forgot that he

549
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:24,120
existed and don't talk about him. So the incredible feat of causing all this pain to the Primark would

550
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:30,040
actually bring Fulgrim back to his flesh. Fulgrim claims that he could have done it all along,

551
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,960
but it's kind of, it's hard to tell if he's just saying that.

552
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:39,320
A bit arrogant, isn't he? He could have just said, you know, I'm a bit of a teenager sometimes,

553
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,920
you know, I totally could have done that, I swear.

554
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,880
It might have just been like that. The possession of Fulgrim is a very sad,

555
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,400
sad moment though. So read Fulgrim, it's the best WarSyrrhyse book.

556
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,400
Fulgrim. Indeed.

557
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,400
It's pretty good.

558
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,400
It's very good.

559
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,400
It's tragic.

560
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,400
Eldred's in that one.

561
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,400
He gets his butt kicked.

562
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,400
No.

563
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,400
The tactical.

564
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,400
Eldred himself doesn't, but his buddies, his friends do.

565
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:09,400
He uses the Joestar secret technique.

566
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,400
Okay.

567
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,400
Connoisseur.

568
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,400
Connoisseur.

569
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:24,840
So, with that out of the way, Fabius returned to his work and would retrieve the genetic data

570
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:31,000
crystal given to Horus from Alphaerius Omegon. This data was corrupted by the Twin Primarchs

571
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:37,400
because they didn't want to give good stuff to Horus obviously, but they likely underestimated

572
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:45,400
Fabius's genius. This crystal was the one stolen from Deliverance, which was given to Korax by

573
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:50,520
the Emperor himself, which pretty much allowed them to create something akin to Primairith

574
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:56,360
Marines. Yeah. They made raptors. They were able to quickly create Astartes and they were like,

575
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:00,440
this is going really well. Then the Alpha Legion snuck in and they were like, yeah, let's mess it up.

576
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,440
Big Alpha Legion W. Good stuff.

577
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,720
And then they made the Raven Guard into monsters and they were like, into actual ravens.

578
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:09,720
It was awesome.

579
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:15,160
So yeah, the Alpha Legion completely ruined that for them. But anyways, using the crystal

580
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:20,360
and the information he could get from it, even if it was small, and progenoid glands of fallen

581
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:27,000
Marines, Baal would devise the secrets of the Emperor himself. As stated before, he resurrected

582
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:32,680
Eidolon and he would also create his first warrior beasts, naming them the Turata. They were the

583
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:38,520
result of limbs and genetics from multiple different species combined and attached onto a body.

584
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,520
So they were very, not pretty.

585
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:48,520
It conjures an image, doesn't it? Just a mess. Just an absolute mess.

586
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:53,640
Yeah. They're howly monstrosities, each highly unique in some malformed way.

587
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:58,600
This would be the beginning of yet another of his great paths, eventually evolving into his project

588
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:05,000
of new men millennia later. His lab would be destroyed with the destruction of the Androneus,

589
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,000
or sorry, Andronechus, which was just the ship that he was on. I think it was Eidolon ship.

590
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,280
Yeah. It's the flagship. Is it the flagship? No, it's not the flagship, but it was like his main ship.

591
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:20,120
I think it was Eidolon. Yeah. But some of his work was not lost. Two of his Turata remained,

592
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:25,240
which happened to be some of his original works. They were both once legionaries of the Imperial

593
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:31,960
Fists, whose lives were now a constant waking nightmare. Sadly for Bio, these two monsters

594
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:38,440
would retain a glimmer of themselves and destroy much of his genetic samples in a fire. But after

595
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:43,240
this setback, he would begin research on the genetic knowledge given to Korax with the goal

596
00:48:43,240 --> 00:48:49,240
of creating clones of the Primarchs. Incubation caskets lied in secret, each containing a

597
00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:55,480
Primarch project, the most important at the time containing Horus himself. During the Siege of

598
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,520
Terra, the Emperor's children would completely lose themselves, as we know, to debauchery and

599
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:06,120
madness, at least for a time. Due to what Fabius claims to be an epiphany, he left Terra shortly

600
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:11,160
before the traitor's defeat, which would cast him as a traitor to the Legion, abandoning them

601
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:17,720
at their time of retreat when he was needed most. Pilgrim never forgave him for this. Fabius saw

602
00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:22,680
the futility in their efforts, and while he never disagreed or regretted the choice of betrayal to

603
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,320
the Emperor, he might have not agreed with the whole way that they did it, but he did believe in,

604
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,800
like, he didn't believe in the Emperor, I guess. You know what I mean.

605
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,200
Jason. Maybe you saw him like a rival, in a way.

606
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:35,000
Ferocious. Yeah.

607
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:40,120
Jason. Well, I mean, with the whole, his whole bitterness with the end of the Horus heresy,

608
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:45,000
I've got a pretty good quote here, if that helps. How would you like to read this one?

609
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:51,400
Ferocious. Absolutely. Hit me with it. I'll try not to ruin it, shall we say.

610
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,960
Jason. This is about like the end of the Horus heresy, his bitterness, and like,

611
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,200
just not liking the ruinous powers in general. Ferocious. This won't be a Fabius Bile voice,

612
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,280
but this will be me. Let's just say.

613
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:09,560
Victory slipped through our fingers, the moment Horus chose to reach into the dark,

614
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:16,280
and something reached back. We sacrificed our ambitions on the altar of his hubris,

615
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:23,400
and when he fell, he dragged us all down, inextricably with him. And not just Horus,

616
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:35,000
Fulgrim as well, and Angron, Magnus, Lorgar. The gods you worship are nothing, say, lies,

617
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:43,160
hidden behind marks of folklore and superstition. Interdimensional cancers, their mindless hunger,

618
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,320
confused for sentience among the lost and the damned.

619
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,400
They're happy about it.

620
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:56,360
Yeah, no, he's definitely not. Definitely a bit smug, I have to say. A little bit like, you know,

621
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:57,960
primitives, you know what I mean?

622
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:03,720
I mean, part of him is right. They probably could have won the heresy if they didn't.

623
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:05,560
Become so corrupted by chaos.

624
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:06,840
You just work together.

625
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:13,640
Yes, Lorgar was probably like literally the only guy who benefited at all from the ruinous powers.

626
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,680
But everyone else got kind of screwed.

627
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,120
What a guy, that's for sure.

628
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:23,480
As much as I love chaos, as much as I'm a big chaos guy, gotta admit, they definitely kind of

629
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,160
screwed us on beating the emperor. We should have won the heresy.

630
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,840
What a swell gentleman, Lorgar, though. I can agree, can't we?

631
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,040
I like it.

632
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,160
The gentleman and the scholar.

633
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:36,360
I actually like Lorgar.

634
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:43,800
I like how flawed he is. Fulgrim, same to me as with Fulgrim as well. Fulgrim is a very

635
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:52,360
enjoyable Primarch because he's so deeply flawed as a character. He's so just riddled with insecurity,

636
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,520
which obviously, let's be honest, we can all relate.

637
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,040
So he, I find him...

638
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:58,760
Just like a real for real.

639
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,800
You're a bit too deep there, man. A bit too deep.

640
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,680
I suppose we'll talk about the Primarchs in more videos.

641
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,440
Definitely, yes.

642
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,880
Yeah, he left the traitors and they were not happy with him.

643
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,120
Fabius was not completely separated from the Legion quite yet, though.

644
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:21,960
It is rumored that many of the Terran population were taken as prisoners and given to bile.

645
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:28,520
In an act of pure evil, the Spider would process these civilians into chemicals to be ingested.

646
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:35,320
So Horde would bile acts that Vulcan, Primarch of the Salamanders, vowed to bring him to justice.

647
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:41,960
Now, the Salamanders would hunt Fabius during the scouring as the Spider's warband grew ever larger.

648
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:47,720
By giving his services to many desperate planetary overlords, genetic corruption and degradation

649
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:53,080
followed wherever the Clone Lord went as he provided defenders with fast acting enhancements,

650
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,320
legions of clones and far worse.

651
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,840
Through the Spider's web, the Salamanders tracked Fabius,

652
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,040
their fury driving them past any other tasks.

653
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:06,360
They ignored a large amount of distress calls actually,

654
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,320
and they kind of just sped through everything just to kill Fabius.

655
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,960
I'm not saying something for the Salamanders who are like,

656
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,840
oh, the cat's up the tree, we'll help you, don't worry about it.

657
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:16,920
And they're like, nope, we cannot help you.

658
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,240
More important to do that is a DEF CON.

659
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:20,600
Gotta swat a spider.

660
00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:28,200
Yep. So upon the planet of Arden Nine, which by all my planet fall upon to aid a rebellious

661
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,920
governor, the Apothecary gave this man grand and horrible enhancements to his troops in

662
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,800
exchange for the harvest of genetic material.

663
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,600
This is where the Salamanders would finally catch up to him,

664
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:42,120
and every one of his labs upon the planet were put to the torch.

665
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,520
Fabius would escape though, sorry Vulcan,

666
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:49,480
releasing all of his muting creations upon the 18th Legion and fleeing on his hidden ship.

667
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,760
In a flash of light, the vessel's warp drives lit and he was gone.

668
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:59,400
Damaged, the ship would slowly drift towards the Eye of Terror until eventually landing upon

669
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:00,600
a demon world.

670
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:05,160
Once inhabited by the Eldar, this world would be known as Urum,

671
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,280
and would eventually become his main headquarters.

672
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,800
There's a nice space marine W for all the Eldar haters.

673
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:13,720
Oh no.

674
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:17,960
Oh, it was no W, he's scrounging for the betters.

675
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,920
He's in someone else's better house.

676
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,680
Well, we can thank the Eldar for our nice, cozy Eye of Terror, I suppose.

677
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,080
Oof. Big oof on that one.

678
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,240
Yeah, I got nothing for that one.

679
00:54:33,240 --> 00:54:35,720
Cruffles did no wrong, that's what I have to say to that one.

680
00:54:35,720 --> 00:54:37,880
Ah, Exoddites did no wrong.

681
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:43,080
Do you know, I'm imagining just very, this is a completely rogue thought, but it's,

682
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:48,600
you ever see in the UK, there are some programs with usually a bald guy who's like,

683
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,440
I'm here on crime invasion.

684
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,640
And I'm just imagining a little documentary where it was like, here we find Fabius and

685
00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:00,520
he had to recreate the story of how he just breaks in, him looking through the Eldar windows and

686
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,440
just like, he breaks in.

687
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,240
Geez, that's funny.

688
00:55:05,240 --> 00:55:08,280
Fabius Biles confirmed in your walls.

689
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,960
Yeah, literally.

690
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,200
Why are the walls vibrating, and flanking?

691
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:14,920
Eww.

692
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:21,800
Okay. So, despite his earlier abandonment, many would still flock to Bile, and he slowly

693
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:27,480
amassed one of the largest warbands of Emperor's children to date. Sadly, though, this would be

694
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:32,920
one of the last few times the Third had any glint of unification. The remnants of the Legion War

695
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:39,400
would plunder the other Trader Worlds to maintain their upkeep of slaves, because their slave

696
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:47,240
attrition rate was unsurprisingly very large. They ran out of them very quickly.

697
00:55:47,240 --> 00:55:51,800
Oh, their extracurricular activities, they weren't exactly nice to them, were they?

698
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:56,520
Yeah, they have like volleyball and other fun sports, except like the volleyball is the slave,

699
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,040
and he's like crumpled up into the walls.

700
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:03,000
I'll go, they were demonetized, I'll just say. They were demonetized.

701
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,520
Actually, one of my favorite creations…

702
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:08,600
Favorite?

703
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:15,000
Demontized Rip. But in one of the Fabius books, he goes to talk to the Radiant King,

704
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:19,720
which I guess we'll talk about later, but he sits upon a throne which is made out of two

705
00:56:19,720 --> 00:56:25,720
human beings stitched together, and they are forced to always… they're twins,

706
00:56:25,720 --> 00:56:28,760
and they always look at each other, but I think their eyes were also plucked out.

707
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:34,280
He also has an organ that when he presses a button, it's also made out of people,

708
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:40,680
and when he presses the button, one of the people emits a certain pitch of scream,

709
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,800
and so he plays music on his organ of human beings.

710
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,880
Yo, that's pretty much…

711
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:50,600
Fabius didn't even make those either, that was part of his consortium, one of the bros.

712
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:56,520
One of the bros.

713
00:56:56,520 --> 00:57:03,480
Question, what, like, Colin and Hal and Eli, what do you reckon they play? What music?

714
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,000
If you were to pick a song that would be fitting.

715
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:05,800
David Bowie.

716
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,000
Through the Fire and the Flame.

717
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:10,040
The Dragon Force.

718
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:10,920
I'd like to see that.

719
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,920
Starman, it has to be Starman, because I think it fits really well.

720
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,240
Starman waiting in the sky, can't sing it, obviously.

721
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:22,600
Jeez, okay, we better get back on track here.

722
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:32,280
They plundered worlds for slaves, and Fabius would actually rise to become a very great commander

723
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:35,160
in this time, as the Legion unified around him.

724
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:36,760
He wasn't doing space dust.

725
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,840
He was like the only, well, sane is not the right word at all.

726
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:49,880
He's the only sane guy left in the means that he wasn't like drug addicted.

727
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:53,640
And he's wearing a jacket made of human skin, and he's the sane one.

728
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,600
This gave them strength in their most disastrous hour.

729
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:05,720
His greatest scheme of that time, though, would begin with the plan to steal Horus's body

730
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,760
from the sons of Horus's fortress known as Lupercalios.

731
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:15,160
So Fabius led an assault, unleashing the third upon the 16th, and would successfully come into

732
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,320
possession of the body and begin his work.

733
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:19,720
He would reunite the Legions.

734
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:26,360
They would be led by a new leader, one not blinded by the gods, one with a real sense of purpose.

735
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:29,080
Fabius would recreate Horus as he was meant to be.

736
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:34,200
Yet, even for the lawless and debauched Chaos Space Marines,

737
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,360
cloning a space marine was too far.

738
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:37,720
It was pure heresy.

739
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:38,920
Even from these guys.

740
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:40,520
Cloning a Primarch.

741
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,640
Cloning a Primarch was on a whole other level of whims.

742
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:50,200
Horus Reborn would be the end to the Legion Wars, and would give them a mortal leader

743
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:55,640
who could leave the immaterium without the pull of the gods, because now all the Primarchs

744
00:58:55,640 --> 00:59:00,440
who are demons are under the influence of the Chaos Gods, and they're not going to be

745
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,560
as powerful outside of the warp as they are in real space, I suppose.

746
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:04,280
Basically.

747
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:09,400
Basically. Cloned Horus has a really good credit score, and there's no, you know, debt.

748
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,080
Yeah. Yeah. But this didn't matter to the renegades.

749
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,600
And Alliance was formed by multiple space marines of different Legions.

750
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:21,080
They actually, a bunch of people put aside their differences because of how bad they

751
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:26,920
thought this was going to be. And they even got Abaddon in line to be buddies.

752
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,160
And he was like, check out my cool museum, bruh.

753
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,520
And you're like, uh, can you stop messing around, Abaddon? Come on.

754
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,360
And so it was a Thousand Sons guy and an Abaddon, and then a bunch of other dudes.

755
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:37,800
But Thousand Son was pretty important.

756
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:38,600
Oh yeah.

757
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:44,280
Because it led an assault of incredible destruction upon the Third Legion's world,

758
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:50,680
known as Harmony, which Fabius was on at the time. A two kilometer, eight megaton ship

759
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:55,800
filled with warheads was psychically flung at the surface, obliterating the capital city,

760
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,960
and nearly everything else.

761
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:01,560
And it was towed by the fact, the Thousand Son basically was like, I'm just going to

762
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:07,400
sit on the bridge and like psychically tow this massive thing through like, uh, travel

763
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,880
to the planet and then just like lob it at them.

764
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:11,000
Yeah.

765
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,760
What's his name though?

766
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,560
Yo, look at that swirl. Was it when you throw an American football?

767
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:16,840
What was it called? Look at that spiral.

768
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:20,680
Yo, check out my spiral.

769
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:30,600
So Fabius had to partake in the evacuation, obviously, but his ship was pretty much his

770
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:36,840
lab at the time. So it wasn't like a big deal, but his ship was boarded by the alliance of

771
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:41,720
traders, including Abaddon. They actually had thought Biles' experiments would take

772
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:46,920
years, if not decades, to even find a glimmer of success. What they saw though, proved them

773
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:53,800
utterly wrong. The chief apothecary had done it. Vats upon Vats slid into the ship, each containing

774
01:00:53,800 --> 01:01:00,200
some form of horrifying malformed clone primark. Some though, were not as bad as others.

775
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:04,520
Regardless, as Fabius approached the invaders and parlayed with them,

776
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:09,720
Abaddon would order his forces to open fire and destroy the abominations that lay before them.

777
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:15,560
There was one though, that they did not see in the room. The greatest feat of bioengineering

778
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:20,200
the galaxy had seen since the time of the emperor and perhaps the empires of old.

779
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:26,920
A perfectly cloned Horus Lupercal, untouched by the warp, uncorrupted by the gods. He would

780
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:31,160
slaughter the space marines, yet when he confronted Abaddon, the new war master would

781
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:36,600
prove his rightful place. In one of the few moments of good writing for what is supposed

782
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:42,280
to be the arch enemy of man, Abaddon caught Worldbreaker as Horus swung it down. He held

783
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:47,240
it in place with his talon and crumpled it in his grip, then sinking his gauntlet into the false

784
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:52,520
Horus' chest. This would allow Fabius time to escape, but he would never forgive Abaddon for

785
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:57,720
his reckless foolish act of pride. And he kills him with his own talon,

786
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:05,240
the talon of Horus, and that's why when he's like, hey look, I've killed this thing, it killed

787
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:15,400
Horus again, the second Horus, and it wounded the emperor, and it killed Sangui. This is a pretty

788
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:21,960
like, and every death makes it kind of more tainted and more evil. And I found the name of the thousand

789
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:27,480
sun, it was Iskandar Kion, the king breaker from the thousand suns. Is that the guy who is in the

790
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:32,440
black legion? Yeah, he's like the one who like kind of corralled everyone and was like Horus,

791
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,520
stop showing us all your showing off from I went to this place and I killed a big thing. It's like,

792
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:42,360
yeah, yeah, I don't care. Black Legion, what's up with that? Let's form a band, a band of warriors,

793
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:49,720
if you will. Yeah, they're awesome books. Talon of Horus was one of my first few books into 40k,

794
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,480
and I loved it. Yeah. Those are really cool characters too. It has nothing to do with

795
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:58,200
Fabius Vile, but still he's cool. And he's like a thousand suns assassin kind of guy,

796
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:02,840
if I remember correctly. We'll have a video on him one day. Definitely. Yeah. I think that

797
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:07,880
of just very quickly, I was going to mention, because Fabius, when he clones this Horus,

798
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:14,920
so this is implied to be like the seizure terror failed like centuries ago. Yeah. And Horus has

799
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:20,040
not been seen, you know, Horus is a corpse. Horus got crumped. He's not even a corpse,

800
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:25,480
he's like not even dust. He doesn't have, he's not here anymore. He's gone. But he's, it's implied,

801
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:31,000
well, it's implied that Fabius, even though he clones Horus, there's something not quite right

802
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:36,280
with this Horus, is it? Because I think it's generally implied that the emperor literally

803
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:43,240
destroyed Horus' soul. So this Horus is just like, he's like the physical clone of Horus,

804
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:48,280
but he's not like as powerful as like the true Horus. It's like that song, it's like, isn't it

805
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:55,160
ironic when you need a fork, but you've only got a spoon. Oh, that's Horus. Yeah. When you really

806
01:03:55,160 --> 01:04:01,880
need a warm-ass and you just got this. Yeah. I mean, I mean, like Abaddon killed him. So obviously,

807
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:08,120
if your son can kill the Primarch, then it's probably not the best Primarch, right? But not,

808
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:13,240
not perfect clone. It was as close as he could get at the time. He does make a perfect clone,

809
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,960
eventually though, which we'll talk about later. And it makes me very sad to talk about. But

810
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:26,040
this act of destroying harmony would lead to the breaking of the Third Legion as they all scattered,

811
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:30,120
fleeing their now destroyed world. It was also the beginning of the Black Legion and the reign

812
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:37,000
of Abaddon as Warmaster of Chaos. But we're not talking about Abaddon today. Many, we will eventually,

813
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:41,640
I hope, even though everyone hates him, but whatever. Many would blame Fabius for this

814
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:48,760
scattering of the Legion. And in a sense, it was his fault. But Fulgrim would even place a bounty

815
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:54,600
on the chief apothecary's head, yet none have ever claimed it. Fabius was widely hated or desired.

816
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:59,000
Whoever did not wish him dead, wished him in chains for their own benefits. His services,

817
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,240
though, were still widely needed as they were still the greatest anyone could offer. So Baal

818
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:08,440
was not completely lost or defeated. And the apothecaries themselves were a very dying breed

819
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:17,720
in the Chaos. So any apothecary they get was a win, but Fabius was the apothecary. But he was

820
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,880
largely needed in the creation of Space Marines, obviously, and the recovering of Gene Seed from

821
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:28,280
Fallen Brothers. He created a shaky and influential deal with the forces of Chaos, Space Marines,

822
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:32,920
not the gods, which he agreed to share his secrets with the many legions, yet he would never be

823
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:38,680
shackled or dedicated to one. It is largely due to Fabius that the Long War still exists.

824
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:44,840
Queen Spore of the Dark Mechanicum would allow Baal the resources to rebuild his medicae equipment.

825
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:49,720
Over the millennia, he would create what is now known as the Consortium, a large group of

826
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:55,640
apothecaries who would seek out or follow the spider due to his genius. Upon Ulum, they would

827
01:05:55,640 --> 01:06:01,640
reside within Fabius's great palace. Andy, do you have anything to say about the fellows?

828
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:10,280
What about the bros? The bros of the apothecary. I've got a kind of a list of all the different

829
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:17,400
folks from the Consortium. Are you guys interested in hearing about the main figures of such?

830
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,360
I feel like we're going to get more cursed as the list goes down.

831
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:26,120
It's not too bad. It's more like a weird rose gallery. So like starting off with...

832
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:34,360
We're layer on us. So first we've got like, I think probably like the equivalent of Fabius's

833
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:42,840
like lieutenant is Ariane Zorzi, who is a world eaters apothecary. Very skilled fighter.

834
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:51,880
He reckons he's overcome the insanity of the butchers nails, but

835
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:56,440
he still hears the voices of the people he killed. So not too sure about that.

836
01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:02,120
But he's kind of like his... Fabius's enforcer. Like it's pretty reliable to have a 10,000 year

837
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:09,160
old world eater as your like bodyguard, you know, and especially one who has a strange

838
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:17,000
resistance to the butchers nails, shall we say. Korag Sin is a death guard apothecary,

839
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:23,160
who is one of Calis Typhon's grave wardens. Fun fact about him. He has a pet, Pazuz.

840
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:24,840
How fun is this?

841
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:28,840
Pazuz is like this... Sorry, Colin.

842
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,840
I just said what kind of pet are we talking about?

843
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:32,840
Yeah, like...

844
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,840
Where's his go?

845
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:36,840
The nice cuddly kind.

846
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,840
He's described as a hulking beast that could like rip anything's throat out. But...

847
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:46,760
And it spits acid. But he's a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

848
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:53,960
very acid. But he enjoys playing and serves both Singe's guardian and pet. So he's like

849
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:59,000
the consortium like throwing him bones and he comes and like, play fetch, my weird hulking

850
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:05,320
creature of doom. And that's quite fun. And yeah, Korag Sin, he's like he's... He wears like a

851
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:13,960
diseased suit of Terminator armor. Fabius doesn't like him much. But he was very helpful when

852
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:21,080
Fabius was trying to transfer basically his brain into a new clone body. So, you know, he has his

853
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:29,480
uses. Where's my favorite? My favorite is Simisci's. Yeah, Simisci's Flay is an iron warrior

854
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:40,120
apothecary. And he was in exile and he took avow silence. And in the... I think it's the first

855
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:46,120
book, which I think is... Is the first book Clone Lord Eli? Or is that the second book?

856
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,120
First book is Primogenitor.

857
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:57,240
First book is Primogenitor. I think it's the first book. Yeah. He... The whole book, he doesn't say

858
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:05,560
anything. And he just kind of like... But there's another character called Oleander, Oleander Coe,

859
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:10,360
who's an Emperor's children apothecary, who looks up to Fabius as part of his own. He's like the only

860
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,600
one in the consortium from the Emperor's children. And he's always looked up to Fabius as like

861
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:23,320
his mentor. And he... Like Oleander served under Bael for a while. Then he left and then he came

862
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:29,640
back. And he came back because he basically wants Fabius to lead the third legion as like their new

863
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:34,440
like war... Like their equivalent of war master. And he kind of orchestrates the whole first book

864
01:09:34,440 --> 01:09:40,920
is like him trying to bring him back as like... As like... He's like, take charge of that. And we

865
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:46,040
won't say what happens in that regard if... Well, Eli... Oh, I'm good. Oh, okay. Well, Eli will say it.

866
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:52,360
And like Oleander, when things are... The cogs are in gear and in motion,

867
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:58,840
Samiskis is the first one to like stand with Oleander and say like, he puts his hand on his

868
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:03,000
shoulder and kind of nods and is like... He does like that Lord of the Rings thing where he's like,

869
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:08,680
we will take the ring to Mordor. The equivalent. And Samiskis is the first who's like, yeah, I'll

870
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:15,960
stand with you. And he gets killed. And before he dies, he says his last words to Oleander. And it's

871
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:21,240
like, oh, he had like... Samiskis was my favorite because he had like a kind of honorableness. And

872
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:26,520
even though he had a vile silence, he also had like a good heart as weird as that is to sound

873
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:33,320
from a traitor. He's a nice guy. What did he say? Like clear my search history.

874
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:40,200
Brother, clear my search history. And there's a few others. There's like Scarlet Grimm,

875
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:47,160
Fa, who's the sons of Horus, Apothecary. He was a Reaver for Aberdon. But I like to finish it on

876
01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:51,560
the Samiskis because he was my favorite character from the books, at least from the consortium.

877
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:58,280
Yes. Thank you, Andy. Small notes to mention that I haven't said yet. Fabius loves music,

878
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:06,280
especially orchestral classical music. And he can often be heard listening to symphonies of old as

879
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:16,280
he works. He has Eldari music and some of the oldest music and sometimes even listens to

880
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:22,280
Bekakinska's Blessed. Bekakinska, yeah. The one who ruins the third legion.

881
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:34,040
Now, I do have a question about that. Because, you know, Warhammer is quite a ways into the future.

882
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:39,480
Do you think it'd be a big stretch to say that classical music would include death metal?

883
01:11:39,480 --> 01:11:51,560
I feel like there's like symphonies. It does say symphonies. So I think you would count it

884
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:59,320
as like actual classical music. I just like to him. I pitch him to things like Filthy Frank

885
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:07,640
or something. I can imagine the world eaters being big fans of Cannibal Corpse and then like

886
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:12,360
a thousand sons of big Opeth fans and everyone's got their own thing.

887
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,000
I think Empress Children are like Britney because it's Britney.

888
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,000
I always listen to Avril Lavigne. They're like baby metal.

889
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,160
I guess we can't say that.

890
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:32,680
Girlfriend is the best Empress Children song by Avril Lavigne. It's great. Anyways.

891
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:36,760
I love you Avril Lavigne. I love you.

892
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:43,240
That's the official stance of law crimes. We are big friends. I'd be glad to come out and confess.

893
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:45,640
You're welcome to the podcast.

894
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,680
The second legion loves me. That's why we don't hear about them.

895
01:12:54,040 --> 01:13:01,160
Okay. So, so, Urm would become home to legions of mutants created by the clone lord and his

896
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:08,680
consortium. They would see Fabius as the great benefactor, a god actually, even though Bile at

897
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:15,000
the time saw them as nothing. They would come to call him Potter Mutatus, which I don't actually

898
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,360
know what it means, but it's something- Is that Harry Potter reference again?

899
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,920
I mean, the second one is not a mutation. Is it like-

900
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,560
It's like father mutation. Mutation or something like that.

901
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:27,880
You're an apothecary Potter.

902
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:28,600
Yeah.

903
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:31,320
I'm a what?

904
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:32,680
We've done that twice now on law crimes.

905
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:36,440
We have. We are always bringing back the Harry Potter references.

906
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:44,840
So, over the years, Fabius would eventually come to show some form of compassion and care for his

907
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:53,160
mutants in some sense. He does say at one point that he doesn't care if they live at the time,

908
01:13:53,160 --> 01:14:00,520
but he cares about them being in the future. So, he says something along the lines of he'll kill one

909
01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:04,920
to save 10 in the future. He'll kill a million to save a billion. He'll kill a billion to save a

910
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:10,840
trillion type of things. So, I think he more cares about what they see in progress.

911
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,520
He doesn't care about individuals.

912
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:17,640
Yes. But I mean, there are some moments where he's very nice.

913
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:23,400
There are tender moments with him in his favor. I can't remember a name, but his favored child.

914
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,320
Is it the one he calls his daughter?

915
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,560
Yeah. Oh, sorry. Milicin.

916
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:28,780
Yeah.

917
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:31,740
Yeah.

918
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:36,920
No, I think he's a, I find that he's obviously a, it's like very similar to when he begun

919
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:41,720
with his own Legion, isn't it? He was willing to cull so many just to save the greater,

920
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,560
if you know what I mean, he doesn't care about the individual.

921
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:47,720
It's like George Lucas. It's like poetry. They rhyme, you know.

922
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:50,140
Wow.

923
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,480
For today's Fabius, they're known as Vatborn and they aid him in his work,

924
01:14:57,480 --> 01:15:03,240
usually acting as assistants in his labs. He enjoys speaking to them quite a lot,

925
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:07,160
although it is unsure how much they understand, but they certainly always listen.

926
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:11,960
The books, like when they describe what they look like, they're like monsters. But when

927
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:16,120
Fabius talks to them, they like sound really cute, like little assistant guys.

928
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:19,480
Yeah. They're like childlike in the way they approach the world.

929
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,960
They literally have like the cognizance of like a seven to 10 year old, I'd say.

930
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,240
Like, daddy told us to do this and we have daddy.

931
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:27,740
Yeah.

932
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:33,720
I don't know how that hits me. I'm not gonna lie. It feels a bit,

933
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:39,400
depends on how the parlance, what parlance you use the term daddy with,

934
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:45,000
but you know, we won't delve too much into that. Anyway, Fabius doesn't believe in sound.

935
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:47,080
Save it.

936
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:56,360
Okay. So not all of his creations are horrid mutants though. These early days would be the

937
01:15:56,360 --> 01:16:02,120
beginning of perhaps his greatest and most important creation known as the gland hounds

938
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:08,760
or new men, which was the result of partial gene seed implantation. So not full space marine,

939
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:13,080
but they're still hulking men and women who are part of Fabius' plan for a new age of man.

940
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,040
They can mess up, Astartes.

941
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:20,040
They can, if there's lots of them at least, but they're stronger, faster,

942
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:24,760
and more keen than a regular human, but not so much as a space marine. But this is purposeful,

943
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:31,400
for unlike the Adeptus Astartes, they keep their humanity and theirs is a far more stable version

944
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:37,480
of the gene seed. More than this though, they are designed with the intent of hunting space marines,

945
01:16:37,480 --> 01:16:43,240
operating in packs and hounding Astartes, tearing them apart. They are also practiced in the act

946
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,880
of harvesting gene seed, which is a skill highly desired by all legions and warbands.

947
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:54,040
Fabius has a fatherly love for these creations in particular. In one moment, we even see him arrive

948
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:59,640
on their level of his ship, only to kneel down and outstretch his arms as the children come

949
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:04,200
running towards him. He then listens to each one of them and sends them on their way.

950
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:11,960
Very cute Fabius. The greatest of the Glandhounds is Igorie, the mother of her generation,

951
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:17,400
and once leader of their tribe. So they do have kids, we should say. They're not all,

952
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:21,320
I don't think they're all that born. Just in case you forgot, the Frankenstein parallels.

953
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:23,080
Yeah. Yeah.

954
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,040
The wholesomeness is not coming back.

955
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:33,640
It was short-lived. Igorie wears a necklace of Astartes teeth,

956
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:40,920
and was Fabius' favorite. The most notable of the consortium is Oviander of the Emperor's children,

957
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:46,600
which we talked about a little bit before. He was once a student of Biel, but had left his clutches

958
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:53,960
in exiles years ago, only to return, bringing the apothecary news. And now we get into spoilers

959
01:17:53,960 --> 01:18:04,520
for the three novels. This thing he does where, like, in the whole books, he calls him master,

960
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:09,080
and Biel is like, don't call me master. I'm not your master anymore. And he's like, no, master.

961
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:12,040
How about daddy?

962
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:23,080
Oviander is a pretty cool character, but we got to talk about Fabius. So the news that he

963
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:35,320
brings the apothecary is that of an isolated and ripe Aldarii craft world. He claims a space marine

964
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:41,000
going by the name of the Radiant was leading the attack and pleaded Biel to join. This Radiant was

965
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:46,760
Casparis Telmar, an Astartes who had lived in the times of the Old Legion. Oviander was chief

966
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:51,080
apothecary to his war band and held position in his elite circle known as the Joy Band.

967
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:58,440
So too did he desire apotheosis, the Radiant desired apotheosis, through consuming those very

968
01:18:58,440 --> 01:19:09,320
tasty Eldar souls for Slaanesh. Indeed. This is all part of a ploy for Oliander, though,

969
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:15,960
because he was actually working with Harlequins in a mutual agreement of fate. More on that later.

970
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:23,320
More on that later. We are also introduced to Fabius's evil and infamous weapon,

971
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:26,520
Torment. Andy, Andy can describe Torment to us.

972
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:34,760
The Rod of Torment. The Rod of Torment is a demon forged weapon, which we've all seen the images of

973
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:40,520
him with like a cane, and it's got a skull and it's a shaft. The skull is from a demon prince called

974
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:50,680
Shalak Klan. Right. And this thing. Shalak Klan. That's a bit of a whiplash with that name.

975
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:58,280
Yeah. This weapon isn't like great at killing people, but it's really good at inflicting pain.

976
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:05,400
Like if you just kind of like, like caress the cane on your skin, the whole body would writhe

977
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:12,600
in pain. And it's so effective at causing pain that yeah, like there's like a passage where

978
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:19,640
Fabius is torturing Slaanesh, it's like, and then he's like, I barely touched you, like calm down.

979
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:25,320
And he's like, it'll get much worse. And since again, it's time in the Eye of Terror, it has

980
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:31,320
been some, it has become somewhat sentient, just like his backpack. So it also has a mind of its

981
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:38,680
own. And it kind of, it's almost like a feral dog. Fabius has to collar it and allow it to release

982
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:44,680
some of its tendencies to inflict pain in order to control it, because it has a mind of its own.

983
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:49,480
Does it also have little, little cane children as well?

984
01:20:49,480 --> 01:20:55,880
No, no, no. As far as I could tell, the Rod of Torment has never been a mother, but you know,

985
01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,680
it is a sick bib cane though.

986
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:03,880
It's a bachelor weapon of chaos.

987
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:10,200
Glad it finally got brought up, I knew the one thing I knew about it was sick cane.

988
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:17,720
When he uses it in the books, it describes it, when it touches people, it like shrieks in pleasure

989
01:21:18,440 --> 01:21:24,200
as it causes them. Like the worst pain you could ever imagine times a billion.

990
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,400
Yeah, this whole episode is uncomfortable, dudes.

991
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:31,480
The backpack is a great way to see it.

992
01:21:31,480 --> 01:21:35,000
The more I listen to it, the more it's just like, oh, he seems like, oh, he's worse.

993
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:40,200
But you're a fan of the Emperor's children as well. You got no excuse.

994
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:43,000
He's not really, he's like, we're a rogue. He's his own thing.

995
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:48,600
He's the reason they still exist. Come on. He's not really, he's his own entity.

996
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:54,840
You can't pick and choose your Legion members.

997
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:01,320
Yes. Okay. Was that all you had to say about Torment Andy?

998
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:03,560
Pretty much. Yeah. It's just like, it's cool.

999
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:08,040
I haven't mentioned it yet, so now is a good time to talk about it.

1000
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:13,880
Despite all that Fabius has seen and done, he still holds true to the ideals of the great crusade.

1001
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:18,840
There are no gods. There are no demons. He sees them as nothing but hallucinations,

1002
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:25,640
multi-dimensional personalities, and simple beings who only exist because of the belief of others.

1003
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:31,960
They are nothing to him, and he staunchly ignores them and denies their existence as gods.

1004
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:38,920
He goes as far to talk to a keeper of secrets to their face and says that they're not real,

1005
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:48,200
and tells that it's just a hallucination and that it's fake. He's what every guy on R slash

1006
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:51,400
atheism wished they could be. I know we all do, but...

1007
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,960
Whatever good atheists wish they could be. He's like the Paterapo meme. He's like,

1008
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:59,480
gods are cringe. He's just like, oh, you. Yeah, you. Keeper of secrets. Come here. Come here.

1009
01:22:59,480 --> 01:23:02,600
Come here. Cringe. Yeah. Oh, Fabius.

1010
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:09,400
Mm-hmm. Indeed. But anywho, about Oleander and that stuff, his words would be heeded by Bile.

1011
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:15,640
For we must remember, even after all this time, the Blight still haunts his body. No matter how

1012
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:21,000
many clones he inhabits, no matter how many times he puts on new flesh, it is always there.

1013
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,920
And in Oleander's proposition... It is getting worse.

1014
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:31,160
Yeah. In his proposition, he sees one possible solution to free himself of the agonizing process,

1015
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:38,520
and this is through wraith bone and spirit stones, which was the technology the Eldar used

1016
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:44,600
to keep their spirits in a little stone, called a spirit stone, and they can use wraith bone

1017
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:51,240
to make guys a wraith guard and wraith lords, which is basically a dreadnought, but really fancy.

1018
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,680
And the spirit stone with the guy's soul in it is just put it with the wraith bone,

1019
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:59,160
and then that's the person, basically. Very interesting how humanity...

1020
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:02,600
Hashtag wraith bile. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to hear it.

1021
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,080
I don't want to hear it. The elder.

1022
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,400
Well, thankfully, the rich kids of the galaxy. The rich kids of the galaxy are going to be

1023
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,080
being consumed soon here. So...

1024
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:19,800
Fabius allows Oleander to plead his case to the consortium, and someone... Who wants to read

1025
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:23,400
their next quote? I did the...

1026
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,560
Colin, maybe? I think I did the long...

1027
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,400
Colin, why don't you read this one? If it's about...

1028
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:31,400
What is this about, though? This is what Colin... What is this what he says to the...

1029
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:35,800
I'm sorry, to Oleander. All right. You will present your proposition

1030
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,640
to the consortium as a whole. If some among them find merit in your proposal, then I shall

1031
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:44,760
take such action as I deem best. If none among the consortium are interested in your proposal,

1032
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,960
I shall break you down into raw components and forget your name.

1033
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,120
That is a raw line. Damn.

1034
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:56,840
Yeah. He's awesome. He's brutal. So, in the end, as we said earlier,

1035
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:03,160
three other Marines agree to the proposal. One unwillingly, Brother Sumiskes of the Iron Warriors,

1036
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:08,120
Saqqara of the Word Bears, and Aryan of the World Eaters, travel with Oleander to parlay

1037
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:14,360
with a Marine known as the Radiant King. Saqqara was the unwilling, as he had been captured by

1038
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:19,000
Bial many years ago. He was part of the Word Bears' kill team, and Saqqara was the only one left

1039
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:26,360
alive. Fabius captured him and implanted a bomb in his chest, as well as something around 100

1040
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:38,280
other failstafes. He has Saqqara in his grip at all times. Saqqara hates him, but he doesn't hate

1041
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:42,600
everything about him. In the third book, he describes their relationship as a whetstone

1042
01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:48,920
and a sword. Saqqara is a very pious word bear, and he will always have little debates with

1043
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:57,720
Fabius about the gods. It's this fun little parallel they have. He's in eternal servitude,

1044
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:02,920
and they actually caught him multiple times cutting open his chest to take the bomb out.

1045
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:07,880
He's almost done it a couple times, but not yet.

1046
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:11,960
Mason- I love that idea about it just catches him in the corner. It's like,

1047
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:23,160
oh, he's got a guilty look on his face. When your four year old has opened the jar of Nutella and

1048
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:29,160
is just wolfing it down with their hands, and instead of Nutella, it's a bomb. And instead of

1049
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:33,400
the other hand, it's blood. And they're just like, like a guilty look on his face.

1050
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:43,000
Saqqara- Oh, I'm so shocked. You're a sheepish about it.

1051
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,840
Mason- I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed. Leave the bomb in the chest.

1052
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:55,160
Saqqara- I will say Saqqara is not actually an apothecary either. He's a demonologist.

1053
01:26:55,880 --> 01:27:02,040
He has lots of little demons and vials and stuff. It's very cool. He helps them a lot in their

1054
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,840
journeys, but demons aren't real. Remember, Fabio said so.

1055
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:08,680
Mason- The Emperor's children has the demons in a jar. That can only end well.

1056
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:17,640
Saqqara- Okay. So first, this little group of guys stop at the world of Sublime,

1057
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:22,840
a planet which lies in between reality and unreality at all times as it's part of the eye.

1058
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:27,800
They travel a path known as the Carrion Road, a warped hair, which would bring them to the

1059
01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:32,920
planet while bypassing its outer defenses. On this incredibly dangerous path, they are bordered by

1060
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:38,840
demons, including the Keeper of Secrets. Fabius defends himself against the demon and literally

1061
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:44,440
denies its existence, as I said before, writing her off as this hallucination. It does, however,

1062
01:27:44,440 --> 01:27:50,040
deliver a message from Fulgrim, then dies as Fabius shoots it in the eye with his needler,

1063
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:54,040
and a gnaw talks and courses through it, tearing the being from the inside out.

1064
01:27:54,040 --> 01:28:01,480
Mason- And we do see a lot that the gods seemingly have an interest in Fabius,

1065
01:28:01,480 --> 01:28:06,840
at least at some way or another. Demons talk to him quite a lot, even though Fabius will always

1066
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:13,480
deny it. It's a very big part of Fabius' character that he kind of goes against fate. He doesn't

1067
01:28:13,480 --> 01:28:20,840
believe in fate and he denies any part that he's supposed to play in the game of reality. He makes

1068
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:25,560
the harlequins a little grumpy. Mason- I think he's mentioned several times as being favored

1069
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:31,480
by the gods of the ruinous powers. They're like, we like you, but that's… He's like, no, cringey.

1070
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:38,600
Indeed. There are some things revealed to him later on. But eventually they make

1071
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:45,160
planetfall upon the gunship known as Butcher Bird, Fabius' personal semi-sentient transport.

1072
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:53,640
It's a very, very awesome machine. It's just this bloodthirsty, like Thunderhawk type of gunship.

1073
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:59,480
I don't know what the exact gunship is, but it's said that when people go out of it, they have to

1074
01:28:59,480 --> 01:29:04,520
give it a wide berth, because if it gets grumpy, it'll just kill them if it's within its guns range.

1075
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:15,160
Mason- What is going on? Bro, he's got a sentient backpack, a sentient pimp cane, and a sentient Thunderbird. Too many things have got opinions.

1076
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,040
Mason- He's got a grumpy stormbird or something.

1077
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:20,360
Mason- He's so grumpy.

1078
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:28,360
Mason- He's got a malevolent teacup, and if you put the wrong kind of liquids in it, if you put like,

1079
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:33,240
you know, like Baileys in it, it just spits it at you in your eyes.

1080
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,240
Bro- The non-sentient poop knife.

1081
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:41,640
Mason- Oh my god. I forgot that that exists.

1082
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:49,800
Okay, okay. So at the end of Planet of Sublime, they go to Mark, and they do a bunch of stuff,

1083
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:55,000
but they capture, most importantly, they capture a Corsair, which was their main goal, because they

1084
01:29:55,000 --> 01:30:01,960
need something to help them get to Lulunos in the Craftworld. But they do battle a troop of

1085
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:07,720
Harlequins. Well, they're trying to get them. Oleander speaks with the Shadow Seer, frustrated

1086
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:13,080
at their intervention, but the seer reveals they know of the Radiant's intentions, and that this

1087
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:20,200
is all part of the plan, or the performance, as they say. They deem Fabius as the King of Feathers,

1088
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:25,880
and seem to say that he will unite the Legion once again. Oleander gives them Caspross,

1089
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:29,000
and they give him a new Baile. Caspross is the Radiant King.

1090
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:37,240
Oh, yeah. They would also meet an individual known as Mordrek, just a fun little guy in the lore,

1091
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:42,600
I guess. He was the reason Fabius wanted to take the Carrion Road, to bypass the defenses,

1092
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:46,520
so he didn't know that they were there, but he finds them anyways. This space marine was Lord

1093
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:52,280
of the Planet, and had been blessed, or in his case, cursed with immortality. Butcher Bird would

1094
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:57,960
blow him to bits before they would leave, yet he would eventually reform. Baile reveals the reason

1095
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:03,880
for the hatred given to him by Mordrek was not simply due to the tormentous experiments he

1096
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:13,800
performed upon the man, but because he failed to kill him. Next, we see another creation of Baile

1097
01:31:14,440 --> 01:31:19,880
upon his ship, while he has the captured Eldari. This creation is known as the Mind Worm.

1098
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:27,000
He uses this centipede-like device to extract information from their captured Eldar's mind.

1099
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:31,320
It copies the host's mind completely, compiling their thoughts, dreams, and more.

1100
01:31:31,880 --> 01:31:34,920
I can only think of the little robot in Star Wars.

1101
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:41,720
I remember when I heard this, it reminded me of the path of heaven, there's a white scar being

1102
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:47,720
tortured by Mortarion, and he uses a similar thing where it burrows into his skull.

1103
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:56,920
I remember thinking, I've heard something similar before, but it's a bit less cruel.

1104
01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:01,560
And it is a good invention, because space marines can eat brains to gain their knowledge,

1105
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:07,960
but this is very wasteful in Fabius' eyes. This way he can retain the information for when he

1106
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:14,200
needs it, and compile it as data. This is how they find the route to the craft world of Luganneth.

1107
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:18,520
With this complete, they arrive at the Radiant King's flagship, and Fabius would ask for an

1108
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:23,960
alliance with Caspiros. Oleander had told a small lie previously that the Radiant King had ordered

1109
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:29,320
him to speak with Fabius, but nonetheless Bile wins the legionary over with the promise of souls.

1110
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:33,560
He takes bright green matter from multiple captured psykers, and combines it with graphs

1111
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:39,800
from the captured Eldar. Together, he creates the psychic organs required to mask the fleet

1112
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:45,400
from the craft world until it is too late for the Xenos. He needs a host, though, and a tough one

1113
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:51,960
at that. So he takes a noise marine from the Radiant ship, and uses their modified physiology

1114
01:32:51,960 --> 01:33:02,760
in plants one named Alien, who had originally been one of Bile's original cacophony. In an arduous

1115
01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:08,760
and slimy process, the consortium successfully completes the surgery and has him linked to the

1116
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:16,920
ship. This would work extremely well in the combined forces. The psychic implant they give

1117
01:33:16,920 --> 01:33:30,120
to him basically makes him able to mask the ship. But it's such an incredibly arduous task that they

1118
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:38,120
need someone very, very tough. And noise marines are very, very tough. They handle a lot of vibration

1119
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:46,440
They play a lot of guitar here, right? Yes, they do. I love noise marines.

1120
01:33:47,480 --> 01:33:51,400
But they approach the craft world, and they attack them before they can suitably react.

1121
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:56,920
Within Butcherburg, Fabius descends with his consortium and his gland hounds and a group of

1122
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:02,040
Astartes from the Radiant's forces. He quickly reaches his objective, that of a wraithbone

1123
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:07,240
garden. But before he can gain his prize, the Shadow Seer and her Harlequins manifest and attack.

1124
01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:14,520
During a duel with the seer, Fabius is shown thousands of possible futures, with only one option for survival.

1125
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:21,080
He must take on the mantle of command if he wished to persevere. If he did not, he would die.

1126
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:26,920
Whether from an enemy or the Blight, he would perish. But by sheer force of will, and to keep

1127
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:31,640
her a secret, Bile's retinue would survive the attack and his prize of wraithbone would be claimed.

1128
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:36,680
The Radiant would begin the ascension to Demon Hood, but would be slain by the Harlequins.

1129
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,240
He still got to eat lots of tasty souls, though, don't worry.

1130
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:45,640
Before escaping onto Butcherburg, Samiskis would sacrifice himself to save Oleander.

1131
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:51,240
Speaking the first and only word you ever hear him say as he lay dying, he speaks the word,

1132
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:56,920
brother. A word not spoken truly by any of the Chaos Space Marines in these dark days.

1133
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:02,760
It was a glimmer of hope for their future. The Harlequins would speak to Fabius and Oleander

1134
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:08,040
again right before they leave, though, and their ploy is revealed. In a very tragic moment for the

1135
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:13,000
Third Legion, Bile rejects the words of both Oleander and the Xenos, claiming they simply

1136
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:18,360
want to clamp him down to the Legion, bringing him the great burden of responsibility and taking

1137
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:23,400
him off the path of his important work. Staying true to himself, the primogenitor changes fate

1138
01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:28,680
and goes off script, something that deeply disturbs the Harlequins of the Laughing God.

1139
01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:34,520
They withdraw, but Fabius leaves Oleander behind for his betrayal, not executing him only because

1140
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:39,720
of his past service. He takes possession of the Radiance Cruiser and leaves. This is not the end

1141
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:45,000
of the Harlequins, though, and it is not the end of Oleander, for the Harlequins will continue to

1142
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:53,000
haunt the edges of Fabius' reality. For a few centuries, Fabius continues his research and

1143
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:58,600
wards off predators within the eye until much of his lackeys decide on a revolt. They continue to

1144
01:35:58,600 --> 01:36:04,840
assault the Vesalius, Fabius' flagship, and at the time of the revolt, Bile is undergoing a transference,

1145
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:12,600
which as we said, Korag was helping with. So Arion is left in command to subdue the traitors.

1146
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:16,760
Together, the World Eater leading the Consortium and Glanhound successfully ward off the rebellion

1147
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:23,400
for a time, but this is a very stark reminder to Fabius of his ever-creepy mortality. The

1148
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:28,760
Cacophony also remain loyal to the Spider, and Fabius resumes command once the cerebral transference

1149
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:35,720
is complete. He promises an ancient hero of the chapter, Dreadnaught Daomat, with blessed death,

1150
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:42,040
gaining his aid and the uprising is crushed. Bile then leads his warband to a dead craft world,

1151
01:36:42,040 --> 01:37:07,080
using his new project. His biggest project at the time was a Wraithbone Garden,

1152
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:13,480
which was grown after Luganeth, of course. And in its midst, since the Eldar Corsair they had

1153
01:37:13,480 --> 01:37:19,320
once captured all those centuries ago, but he is no longer an Eldar Corsair, he is now named Key,

1154
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:26,360
and has acted as a psychic conductor for Fabius. The Wraithbone has grown around and inside of the

1155
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:38,680
poor Eldar, but he seems to, it's hard to describe, he's not the same thing he once was, and he's

1156
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:45,400
seemingly, him and the Noisemareans actually hang out in the Wraith Garden, and they all sing their

1157
01:37:45,400 --> 01:38:04,120
song. So upon this dead craft world, they plunder what they can, but are ambushed again by Harlequins,

1158
01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:09,000
because they just won't leave him alone. And also, Corsairs of the Sumblis Brotherhood,

1159
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:13,560
which was the group Key had hailed from. After a desperate battle, they are rescued,

1160
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:19,480
if you can call it that, by Lord Commander Eidolon's forces. So these books are awesome,

1161
01:38:19,480 --> 01:38:25,160
because you get to see the Emperor's Children character, finally. But other than Lucius,

1162
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:31,240
I guess, because he has a book. But this attachment is led by a marine named Flavius, Flavius, a very

1163
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:37,960
Emperor's Children-y name, I think. And he's-

1164
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:45,640
They have frosted tips. He serves with the Phoenix Guard. They have to

1165
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:49,400
surrender to him and are escorted to the Broken World of Harmony, because the world still exists,

1166
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:58,120
even after the 8 Megaton explosion. He confronts Eidolon, who informs Flavius of a message he also

1167
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:04,680
received from Fulgrim. This was delivered through Melisandri, Flavius's flesh and blood creation,

1168
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:10,040
who was actually made from his literal flesh and blood. She's literally his daughter, which is neat.

1169
01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:16,440
But unfortunately for Favius, she was taken by Fulgrim a long time ago and is now basically a

1170
01:39:16,440 --> 01:39:23,400
demonic entity. Well, she is a demonic entity, but she haunts a lot of the Glandhounds,

1171
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:28,200
as she talks to Eidolon, obviously. In the third book, she talks a lot to Oleander and becomes

1172
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:33,240
very active, talking to Favius as well, trying to get him to meet up with Fulgrim. These guys really

1173
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:37,480
want them to get back together, but Favius just never has any of it, unfortunately.

1174
01:39:37,480 --> 01:39:39,160
Mason- He's getting hounded, man.

1175
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:42,120
Angus Yeah, everyone wants a piece of Favius in the book,

1176
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:43,800
seriously. They're all after him.

1177
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:45,800
Mason- He's just in the corner like,

1178
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,320
leave me alone. Everyone's like, but the experiments.

1179
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:56,920
Angus So the message from Fulgrim was a gathering of might, a reunion of the great and powerful

1180
01:39:56,920 --> 01:40:04,280
lords and rulers of the third legion. But he must undergo a test and a powerful demonic mutant

1181
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:10,840
emerges who frees his time and shows Favius the face and depth of the gods. So he, like,

1182
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:19,240
in a sense, he literally sees Slanesh. At least how it's described is how I think it happened.

1183
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:24,120
But Biles and Kare, he denies what he sees and the demon resumes time.

1184
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:28,200
Mason- I've been given this opportunity, he's like, I don't care. It's cringe.

1185
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:32,120
Angus It's kind of like someone going, like,

1186
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:36,360
being shown a piece of art and just being like, nah, it doesn't look nice. I just don't

1187
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:39,400
know. Mason- Imagine if someone was just like, hey, look,

1188
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:43,400
here is literally God's face. What do you think? He's like, take it or leave it.

1189
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:43,960
Mason- Really?

1190
01:40:43,960 --> 01:40:46,280
Angus Six out of ten.

1191
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:54,280
Mason- The demon does, though, kind of, I think it was this demon. It was a demon at some point.

1192
01:40:54,280 --> 01:41:02,280
So he reveals, or at least implies, that the reason the flesh blade exists is like almost

1193
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:11,160
because of the chaos gods, sort of. He seems to try to tell Favius that he's very intertwined

1194
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:17,560
with Slaanesh and the gods and that the reason for a lot of his things is because of them.

1195
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:24,760
Favius doesn't care, still. But as acting, sorry, and the demon deems him not guilty,

1196
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:28,280
which is the main purpose of the test, was to find a punishment for him.

1197
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:33,320
And Eidolon and all of his buddies are around and they get very unhappy about this.

1198
01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:36,040
But Eidolon lets him go anyways. Mason- Trying to stitch him up.

1199
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:39,720
Angus Commander Eidolon tells him he needs to

1200
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:45,400
undergo a task to completely prove himself, kind of, and also just to do his duty.

1201
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:50,040
And this was to find the lost gene tithe that we talked about a long time ago.

1202
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,800
So as chief apothecary, it was his duty to retrieve this. In return,

1203
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:58,040
Eidolon would give him the protection of the third legion from all enemies, including Abaddon.

1204
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:04,120
He agrees, and is then permitted to enter his old laboratory. While it was almost completely

1205
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:08,360
destroyed and scavenged, a small sect of mutants descending from his path,

1206
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:13,160
would praise his return. So they've survived all these millennia, which is really neat.

1207
01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,960
They would lead him to underground machinery that had kept intact all of his server that has been

1208
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:24,840
kept intact for all this time. Twenty vats, with one very important unit remaining in pristine

1209
01:42:24,840 --> 01:42:31,880
condition. This vat contains none other than Fulgrim, the perfect clone. He smuggles-

1210
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:36,680
Indeed, he smuggles the remnants of his work back onto the Forsaleus, and they depart from

1211
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:42,360
the gene tithe. As they travel, the clone ages quickly, and is taught by Fabius. The most

1212
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:48,600
important part about this Fulgrim is that he goes uncorrupted, truly perfect, what the Fulnician was

1213
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:55,720
meant to be. He keeps him as isolated as possible, allowing him large amounts of study material,

1214
01:42:55,720 --> 01:43:00,840
and giving him some semblance of a father. He's actually pretty good at the fathering

1215
01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:05,320
thing compared to Biggie. I'm a loyalist, Simp, and I'm like, yeah, he was a good father.

1216
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:10,280
I'm like, yeah, he was a good dad in some regards. Despite the flesh coat.

1217
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:16,520
The Emperor's more of a soldier, more of a leader, politician, than a father.

1218
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:22,680
But he can't keep a literal Primarch contained forever, of course, and Fulgrim would sneak

1219
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:30,200
around the ship and observe much as it happened around him. He would also feel a real connection

1220
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:36,120
with the past life of the actual Fulgrim. Seeing his memories and experiences, he was disgusted

1221
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:42,120
by them. Not only this, but the narrative almost suggests that despite being a clone,

1222
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:49,640
he has a soul, and a true soul of Fulgrim at that. But this is a poor interpretation.

1223
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:53,880
IAN It's this big struggle in the book where he's like, he remembers everything Fulgrim did,

1224
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:59,720
and he even regrets the death of Ferris Manus, and he's like, I'll never be like him.

1225
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:04,920
And it's like, that's you. He's like, no, that was the other Fulgrim. I'm like the proper one.

1226
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:08,840
And he goes through this whole thing of like, Fabius trying to teach him, and him trying to

1227
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:16,040
go against his nature. And it's really interesting, like hearing the adolescent Fulgrim struggling

1228
01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:19,480
with it. He doesn't want to hang out in his room. I don't want to go to my room.

1229
01:44:19,480 --> 01:44:24,040
I want to go out there. He's like Ariel from the Little Mermaid, but with better hair.

1230
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:36,040
FULGRIM Yeah. So, as he watches Fulgrim learn and grow, he sees in him an actual hope,

1231
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:41,560
something that Fabius had not believed in for a very long time. He saw the possibility of a

1232
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:48,200
new legion, a force led by a pure and untainted being. This is kind of going back to the time

1233
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:55,560
when he was making Horus, but this is even more promising. The true phoenix for splendid and true

1234
01:44:55,560 --> 01:45:01,160
clean beauty, untouched by the debauchery and insanity of the Dark Prince. For the time being,

1235
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:05,960
though, Bile would arrive at the planet which contained the precious gene seed and would descend

1236
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:10,520
upon it with his retinue. He left many of the Glanhounds and Space Marines behind,

1237
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:15,400
anticipating the betrayal that awaited him on the Vrasalius. This betrayal was expected from a marine

1238
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:21,480
known as Alconex, who was not of Bile's warband. He was just, I think he was one of Iadolon's guys,

1239
01:45:21,480 --> 01:45:29,640
if I remember correctly. So, Igor was tasked with watching over Fulgrim, and the Primarch was,

1240
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:35,560
of course, ordered to remain in his quarters. Fabius would indeed return to a betrayal,

1241
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:41,480
but not the one he expected. They would quickly discover the planet was a tomb world. Not just

1242
01:45:41,480 --> 01:45:46,920
any tomb worlds, though, this was Silumnus, home to a very important figure within the Necrons.

1243
01:45:47,640 --> 01:45:52,760
A trap was sprung, and the forces of chaos would be ambushed by the metallic defenders of Silumnus.

1244
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:58,760
So too would the marines loyal to Alconex attempt at assassinating Fabius until the apothecary and

1245
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:04,440
ancient daomat fell into a large crevice. So, sorry, Alconex was on the ship, and his lackeys

1246
01:46:04,440 --> 01:46:10,360
were on the ground, if that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, so Bile then fulfills his promise to the

1247
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:16,520
old warrior and ends his life. It's a little sad. I don't know if it's sad, but it's compassionate

1248
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:23,960
of Fabius. So, the truth of the matter is then revealed as a being walks out from the depths of

1249
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:29,560
the planet. As he approaches the chief apothecary, Trazin the Infinite reveals himself. Yeah.

1250
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:38,840
He originally wishes to add Bile to his collection, but is eventually swayed by Fabius as they make a

1251
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:44,840
deal. Negotiations go awry for Bile, though, but he is rescued by none other than the Harlequins.

1252
01:46:45,480 --> 01:46:50,520
Here, the Shadow Seer Veilwalker would tell Fabius she was there to save him from captivity,

1253
01:46:50,520 --> 01:46:56,520
but Bile offers the Harlequins to Trazin as they show up. Damn.

1254
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:03,960
Now, he has trapped the Eldarii, and many swiftly fell as the scarabs and warriors emerged from all

1255
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:09,000
around them. Veilwalker would escape, but the remaining troop did not. In exchange for the

1256
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:15,560
Xenos, the Infinite allowed Bile safe passage, but in another deal, Fabius would provide Trazin with

1257
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:21,640
one of his own clones and basically a copy of his brain in exchange for the Lost Gene Tithe and the

1258
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:28,520
Necrons' assistance in keeping the Phrasalius. Meanwhile, on the Phrasalius, Alconex and his

1259
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:33,880
soldiers would raid Bile's laboratory and begin razing it. Igori would take Fulgrim to safe hiding,

1260
01:47:33,880 --> 01:47:39,080
where he would rally the packs of Glanhounds. They would place upon him crude armor and he would heft

1261
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:45,560
a large piece of metal as his sword. All traitors fell before Fulgrim, either by his hand or simply

1262
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:51,480
to their knees as an undeniable authority washed over them. Marex, one of the old Joybound, would

1263
01:47:51,480 --> 01:47:56,760
literally stop in his tracks as he was about to kill Igori, the voice of his Primarch commanding him.

1264
01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:02,760
For all intents and purposes, it was literally Fulgrim. At the climax of the battle, Alconex

1265
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:08,520
would fire a shot at his clone father before realizing what it was. Igori would leap in front

1266
01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:13,640
of the Phoenician, saving him and proving her loyalty to the new creation. Even after this,

1267
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:20,280
Alconex would kneel before Fulgrim as his new lord. Fabius and Trazin would then appear back

1268
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:25,320
upon the ship and despite Fulgrim's victory and perfection, Fabius was not pleased.

1269
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:31,160
He saw his new men and an army of Emperor's children kneeling before the risen phoenix,

1270
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:36,360
a new hope for the Legion, a redeeming chance. This was their one shot at redemption, their one

1271
01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:41,720
shot at escaping the clutches of the Dark Prince, the only way for them to become what they had once

1272
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:49,240
been. But none of this mattered to the Primordial Tour. All he saw was servitude amongst his new men

1273
01:48:49,240 --> 01:48:54,120
that were created to one day rule themselves. He saw the glimpse of arrogance upon Fulgrim's

1274
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:59,720
face that had been part of his father's downfall. This was not part of his plan and it truly drove

1275
01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:06,040
the point home that Fabius lost all care for his Legion a long, long time ago. He turned to Trazin

1276
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:11,640
and altered the deal. In exchange for the gene tithe, he would give the Necron to Fulgrim.

1277
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:15,640
Legionaries rose to defend their clone father, but Trazin would simply freeze time,

1278
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:23,240
take the Primarch and the Marines and leave. And that was it. It was like the saddest

1279
01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:28,520
as the Emperor's children fan, it was the saddest moment in the last 10,000 years.

1280
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:29,080
Soterios So gross. So damn close.

1281
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:30,280
Fulgrim Yeah, it was so, so, so, so, so, so,

1282
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:31,720
so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so,

1283
01:49:31,720 --> 01:49:39,640
literally on the cusp of something so awesome and great, but Fabius had none of it.

1284
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:43,080
Soterios I like the, I love the part where they,

1285
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:48,280
like these are men who were like, these are Marines who were actually corrupted by chaos.

1286
01:49:48,280 --> 01:49:52,920
And yet still when they see the Primarch Fulgrim, they literally start weeping and they prove,

1287
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:58,120
they are full Grim. They go, Oh, we'll do what he wants. And it's like, Oh, it was that easy.

1288
01:49:58,120 --> 01:49:59,400
Soterios I can defy chaos.

1289
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:09,000
Soterios Yeah. Igor is healed by Fabius, but she leaves with her pack as she feels like she's

1290
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:14,440
failed him. I think Fabius actually doesn't understand why she leaves, but he lets her.

1291
01:50:14,440 --> 01:50:15,160
Soterios Jesus.

1292
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:22,200
Soterios We see Vail Walker one last time in this portion. And she reveals to Fabius

1293
01:50:22,200 --> 01:50:28,040
that one story is coming to an end, but a new one is beginning. She gives the spider a gift,

1294
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:31,880
a map of the webway showing the path to the dark city of Kamura.

1295
01:50:31,880 --> 01:50:33,560
Soterios That's too nice for these people.

1296
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:39,720
Soterios To be fair, directing someone to Kamura is a great way to get them killed.

1297
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:40,840
Soterios Yeah.

1298
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:43,560
Soterios Pardon me. Wish they were killed.

1299
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:50,280
Soterios Indeed. Indeed. So in recent times, Fabius actually travels to Kamura and studies

1300
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:56,200
under the tutelage of the Homunculus Covens. But we will explore this in the future. His lore is

1301
01:50:56,200 --> 01:51:01,960
ever expanding and growing, so there may even be a part two at some point in time. I hope you have

1302
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:08,200
all enjoyed this episode of lore crimes. I hope you all like Fabius as a character. He's very

1303
01:51:08,200 --> 01:51:11,000
interesting and very peculiar.

1304
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:21,240
Soterios He's on a lot. I think my big question is, damn,

1305
01:51:23,480 --> 01:51:30,840
I think I can see how jaded he's become over time. Because obviously he probably hasn't

1306
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:34,600
with the warp stuff, he hasn't necessarily lived 10,000 years, but it feels like he's just,

1307
01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:37,480
like it's a never ending journey. You know what I mean?

1308
01:51:37,480 --> 01:51:41,240
Soterios He's very accomplished individual.

1309
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:48,200
Soterios Yeah. Can you think of anyone else who's not only in there at the beginning of their

1310
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:56,520
legion, survived the Horus heresy, cloned Primarchs, and he's done a lot. He seems like

1311
01:51:56,520 --> 01:52:00,120
a side character, but he's one of the top 10 most important with-

1312
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:01,480
Soterios He's literally a main character.

1313
01:52:01,480 --> 01:52:05,720
Soterios Yeah. When you see all the stuff he's done that's changed everything in the universe.

1314
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:10,520
Soterios I don't know if there's many other characters that have as much lore as him,

1315
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,560
maybe like Ragnar Blackmaid, because he has like five books or something, but-

1316
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,040
Soterios Six. I wouldn't do that pain.

1317
01:52:16,040 --> 01:52:21,640
Soterios And then I assume Ragnar's stuff is just him like exploring, going on-

1318
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:22,680
Soterios He's having adventure.

1319
01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:24,200
Soterios Adventure. Yeah.

1320
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:26,760
Soterios Fabius is actually accomplishing things, right?

1321
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:30,760
Soterios I mean, one of his own Mjord festival. He's like, this one's quite bitter.

1322
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:36,840
Soterios Fabius is very peculiar though, because he has the adventures and kills lots of stuff,

1323
01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:40,840
like any other space marine, but he's like a scientist and he has breakthroughs all the

1324
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:45,640
time and he's constantly researching and getting new discoveries and creating new things, which is

1325
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:50,600
something that we don't really see. Soterios And his discoveries changed the course of the galaxy,

1326
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:55,560
like just Horus. He cloned Horus. He basically birthed the Black Legion because of what he did.

1327
01:52:55,560 --> 01:53:01,400
Soterios I think his story is also very grim darky because there's a little, there's an undertone

1328
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:05,640
of like, it's a little bit sad if you know what I mean. It's like, it's a lot of like epic, but

1329
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:10,520
it's a lot of, oh, you know what I mean? Like he's like, oh, he's been cloned Fulgrim. Oh,

1330
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:13,480
cloned Fulgrim is now in prison and he doesn't want to do it, but he has to.

1331
01:53:13,480 --> 01:53:15,960
Soterios Especially because if you look at his,

1332
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:20,120
like if you look at his goals in a vacuum, it's like they're almost noble. And then you look at

1333
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:24,600
what he's actually doing. It's like, oh. Soterios And then you remember, he's wearing

1334
01:53:24,600 --> 01:53:31,320
a skin jacket. I guess the backpack, I like the backpack part by the way.

1335
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:34,520
That'll be a short, I'm sure.

1336
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:36,440
Soterios You've heard of a thing like get ready for

1337
01:53:36,440 --> 01:53:46,520
food. Oh, yuck. Thank you. Thank you very much Eli for helming that. Let's just say that absolute

1338
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:52,840
huge task of doing Fabius Vile justice. There's a lot, that's a lot to cover and even more.

1339
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:54,840
Soterios It's far more than I thought.

1340
01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:56,840
Soterios When we explore Comorah and the dark city,

1341
01:53:56,840 --> 01:54:05,000
we'll hopefully have a little dabble of Fabius in the future. And for our next episode, it will be,

1342
01:54:05,560 --> 01:54:10,600
again, we're returning to the timeline. So we'll be doing the birth of the Imperium. So essentially

1343
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:18,520
we're following humans this time. Sorry, Colin, no more Eldari for a little while. And I hope you-

1344
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:23,080
Colin I get to do what Andy did next time and sit there naysaying everything they do.

1345
01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:24,840
Soterios Perfect.

1346
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:31,240
Andy Payne. Thank you all so much for listening and watching. Hope you all enjoyed it. Hope you all

1347
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:35,720
think you have an expert level. I'm pretty sure we can all leave it an expert level

1348
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:40,280
of knowledge on Fabius Vile. And we'll see you all next time. Thank you very much.

1349
01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:51,720
Soterios Bye.
