THANKS to OfficioAudiorum for the disgustingly good music in this video. Please, I insist, go and check his stuff out and ABSORB the atmospheric 40k music into your BRAIN. kzfaq.info And, OF COURSE, big thanks to the boy himself, Takahata, who decided to actually spend time creating this script. I am happy to have been given the chance to release an essay touching on the destructive condition of acute imposter syndrome on youtube.com. You truly are Hero of the Imperium. ++ THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No this is not EP29, it's still in the works, am working on the Magnus scenes right now ++

His relationship with Amberly lasted over a hundred years. It is canon they boned like rabbits whenever they were stationed near one another. She is also the one who kept getting him authorized for rejuvenation treatments. Though she isn't authorized or high enough to get her hands on the REALLY good ones for others, even her own aren't the best. Those two legit cared for one another, but weren't allowed to show true care or they would have been separated permanently.

He never even considered that they were fighting that hard because HE WAS THERE WITH THEM

This cycle continued EVEN AFTER HE RETIRED.

For those wondering why Calgar and Caine are mood kindred - “Calgar”isn’t his real name. It’s the name of a dead rich kid he stole the identity of. He pulled a Don Draper, and it’s the only reason he was able to become a marine. He’s a literal fraud, but his heroism is real.

Cain’s complaining that things that should kill him/out him turn out to be to his advantage, due to some freak act of luck. …the commander of the ultramarines, one of the only people in the galaxy with the authority and competency to execute a commissar of his caliber on a whim, found out he’s a piece of shit and a coward…and then reveals himself to be a kindred spirit who’s also a piece of shit, who embraces him like a brother in arms. Cain thinks his luck finally run out, when ironically this is EXACTLY the kind of situation that would’ve killed a lesser Commissar. He didn’t run out of luck, he rolled his greatest nat 20 in the entire fucking Imperium by finding a true friend.

The worst part about Ciaphis Cain? He's a genuine hero, and *that's* what makes his life a sad joke. That he alone of all people can't see himself for what he truly is. Maybe in the beginning he might've been a coward. But he faced the enemy, head on, and fought surviving as much by his own skill and determination as by his luck and Jurgen's unrepentant hypercompetence. In the end, he hates himself for nothing more then being a human who remembers when he was terrified, but still standing up and marching forward into danger.

I love his reasoning for doing so too. By showing kindness and respect to his regiments, the Guardsmen will in turn do anything and everything they can to protect him and keep him from any sort of harm since if Cain is killed, they'll get another commissar who is likely to be far more traditional and liberal with the summary executions. By pretending to care about the soldiers under him, Cain is able to put as many willing bodies between his skin and the enemy as possible and make the Guard think it was all their idea in the first place.
@Crowgale Жыл бұрын
Cain is the textbook example of a good leader in wartime. The guardsmen have already be disiplined and conditioned for war, the trick to keeping them fighting is to reward them for good service and failing that, simply for surviving against terrible odds. Yes, it does consequently make them want to protect Cain so that the regiment as a whole doesn't get a commisar that is a real piece of shit- but at the same time it's fairly obvious that Cain gives a fuck about those that fight with him.

He also technically beat a Dark Eldar Succubus is a Duel without any outside help. A little history on that, said Succubus specifically hunted down Cain with the express purpose of bringing him back Commorragh to torture/rape/kill because his reputation was so vast and well known amongst the Dark Eldar, that anyone who succeeded in killing him, and providing the proof, would get mad kudos from the rest of the Dark Eldar society. How he won was pretty cool too. He knew that eventually the Dark Eldar's stamina and combat drugs would wear him down, so he said "fuck it, I don't wanna get captured and tortured to death by the Dark Eldar" and went to blow his brains out with his laspistol, only for the Succubus to let her guard down and try to stop him, cause she wanted to bring him back home for the torture, and he bisected her with his chainsword.

Cain is the only person in the known galaxy to remain on the active duty roster of the Astra Militarum even after being assumed dead and with full military honours. This is the result of a confusion in the Departmento Munitorum during the First Siege of Perlia, in which Cain was listed as killed in action until some point after he rejoined his regiment at the campaign's end. This pattern of returning alive after being declared dead occurred often enough during Cain's career that the Munitorum made a special ruling that Ciaphas Cain is to never be considered dead, despite evidence to the contrary.

You're really underselling the First Siege of Perlia... He was on the wrong side of an emergency bulkhead when the Hand of Vengence had a hull breach: MIA, assumed dead. Three weeks later, someone claiming to be Cain in a Saviour Pod makes Vox contact, gives the correct codes, but... he's assumed dead... so the Saviour Pod is ordered to land at the starport on the Western continent and is shot down instead in enemy territory on the Eastern continent. MIA, Almost certainly dead. two days later, a captured town on the eastern continent blows up so thoroughly that Imperial Navy can see it with the naked eye. Over the course of the next few months, SOMEONE is tearing a bloody path through the Orks, headed due west away from that explosion, and they're getting larger with every enemy contact. Imperial forces are tracking them as best they can, but OH NOES! They've been bottled up in a valley and the Orks are closing the trap! Valley floods as the dam bursts. Whoever they are, they must be dead now. less than two days later, Cain shows up, leading an ad-hoc regiment made up of PDF regulars and civilians across the peninsular with pictographic proof that he, personally, with just a chainsword and a laspistol, defeated the _Nob_ leading the _Waaaagh_ , shattering the Ork's fighting ability as the _Waaaagh_ 's clans descend into internecine fighting, and does anyone possibly have a bowl of tanna-leaf tea?

I'll never forget the day Commissar Ciaphas Cain saved me and my family... The world was under siege from both chaos and Xenos forces. My wife had just given birth. In my arms, I held her and my newborn son. I fled towards a gunship preparing to leave knowing it was my family's only hope. I could see Commissar Cain entering the gunship. Even if confronting a commissar only meant a swifter death it was still better than what chaos and Xenos had in store. I beg him to take my wife and child. He turned to me... and ill never forget what he said "Not where I'm headed". I watched him fly higher and higher away from the battle until unseen by cloud cover... .... But It wasn't cloud cover... IT WAS A STEALTHED XENOS FLAGSHIP. Ciaphas Cain had HEROICLY piloted the gunship straight into the Xenos flagship. He then dove both vehicles down, straight into the enemy forces. I didn't even know Commissar Cain knew how to pilot a gunship much less perform such aerial maneuvers. Truly a courageous man. But it doesn't stop there! On the decent, Melta Bomb's fell from the gunship destroying the Xenos forces. Then the Xenos flagship crashed destroying a chaos ritual. After doing a barrel roll into a loop de loop Commissar Cain safely landed the now inoperable gunship and walked away without a scratch. It was then I remembered his words to me "Not where I'm headed". He wasn't rejecting my family... he was saving them. He must have planned the WHOLE DAMED THING! That day I named my son after him. Commissar Ciaphas Cain is nothing short of a HERO of the imperium.

I was there as a tank commander supporting the heroes troops. The tyranids were endless, their bio-forms ripping apart my comrades. Cain jumped into our Leman Russ and said to fall back. As we turned and fell back to the next line of defense, hordes of necrons teleported into the ranks of the tyranid armies. The two sides decimated each other, thats when the space marines arrived to pick off the scattered pieces of the two. I only wish to be the tenth of a man Commissar Cain is.

I was with them with squad when that happen! it was truly a majestic sight to behold. he was with us before he went to the gunship. and piloted it to destroy the xeno flagship, we thought he had abandoned us. but I was a fool to think of that. not only did he, save us from the xeno ship. he revealed the location of cloaked eldar regiment that was flanking us, and dropped a melta charged at them. it was as if he knew they were there and dropped it on them while also taking care of the xeno flagship. and after he landed, he went back to my regiment. as we sat there in aw, he asked us frantically for a gun. obviously, he knew the fight wasn't over. and so we fought, at first i thought he was shooting randomly at the xenos. but he was actually taking care of strategic targets. AND HE ONLY HAD A LAS PISTOL ON HIM! truly, he is a man worth following even to the end of life itself.

I was only a Whiteshield when that event unfolded on Gebiss V. Hope was almost lost, what with the tyranids, eldar, and necron infesting the planet. We were beset on all sides by the enemy with nothing but a bayonet, a lasgun, and a couple of tanks and chimeras to defend the small manofactorum in the planet. We were all under the threat of death. One morning, an Ork Rokk dropped hundreds of kilometres away, but their Waaaghs! sounded closer than that. What little hope we had evaporated. That was until Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, stepped forth from an unknown bunker deep beneath the manofactorum! He was a sight for sore eyes, that man. His wide grin gave everyone, even the pessimists and the hopeless, a hint that victory was near! The first thing he said to us was to "...hold out a little longer," while he explored the bunker further, needing only a little more time to surprise the greenskins. Even though I was merely a conscript, he handed me command of my own soldiers to lead the defensive line. I was scared, I had no formal training before then, and I was afraid that I would lead these soldiers to their deaths unnecessarily! When the Orkz came with their clunky scrapped vehicles, the gun fire began. They tore through one of our tanks so easily first. Their superior firepower pinned down even our heavy guns. I was shouting orders, but it fell on deaf ears as my comrades hid in cover. In a moment of bravery or stupidity, I stood out and shot back at the Orkz to make an example... or to end my suffering as I had nothing else to lose. A couple followed suit, shooting back recklessly and without thought. We hit a couple of Orkz, but they hit back harder as they directed their fire towards us. It was then that suddenly, Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, emerged from the Manofactorum with a BANEBLADE! The roars of its 11 barrels of hell ripped and tore through the Orkz, causing them to flee!

To all his protests, he does genuinely risk his life for his troops when the chips are down, and he is a fantastic sword-fighter and absurdly good at inspiring his men's bravery and getting the best out of them - which is pretty much exactly his job. When the video calls it "Imposter Syndrome", I think it hit the nail right on the head - I think he honestly deserves far more of his victories, praise, and accolades than he himself believes he does.

I do really like the ending though. Because it has a very simplistic and wholesome, if unintentional, message, at least for the majority of the audience: There is ALWAYS someone who will understand your pains and fears, and most importantly, accept you inspite of those and most any flaw you may have. Cain and the Commander both have immense feelings of inadequacy based on the fact that they feel like their accomplishments and awards have been given out based on the fact that they are always the victor in situations where they feel that they just as easily could have failed. They constantly doubt and diminish themselves and rather than bolster themselves by reassuring themselves that their accomplishments were the work of instinct, simply because by default they feel inadequate and bumbling to themselves, even if everyone around them agrees they acted in the right absolutely and could have even been guided by the emperor himself. They don't feel confident enough to claim the emperor guided them because he very well may not have, but they can't afford for anyone to think otherwise and put on airs. And as a result feel guilty and inadequate for it. But I may just be drunk and high at 5am overanalysing a youtube skit based on a tabletop game cannon AU humor channel.

He thinks himself a coward when he's in fact brave, because Imperium doesn't value bravery, but fearlessness and Caine has to fight his fear every time fate throws him into another do or die situation. He thinks himself a scoundrel, when in fact he's a faithful servant of God-Emperor and does his duty every single time, and his attempts to avoid said duty are perfunctory at best. He thinks he doesn't deserve any of his glory, when in fact only big-dick space marine commanders have a better track record, and they have the advantage of transhuman physiology, hundreds of years of combat experience and a chapter of devoted murdermachines at their beck and call.

The thing is, Ciaphas Cain, while very lucky on many occasions, is perhaps the most brilliantly written case of impostor syndrome I've ever seen. His tactical knowledge has won many battles. He is an astoundingly skilled swordsman, to the point of being called one of the best by an experienced inquisitor (And doing things like fending off a knornate chaos marine in melee combat and beating an ork Warboss in a 1-on-1 duel). He led a ragtag group of civilians and PDF survivors behind enemy lines to turn the tide of a WAAGH. Among many other feats. So yes, he has had his bullshit plot-armor/luck moments, but really it's honestly more that he downplays himself so much that his accomplishments seem so much more unbelievable than they actually are.

@@JakeBaldwin1 Because Jurgen is basically his best friend. He might be a little dim and not exactly the most clean... but he is a bravo, competent and loyal soldier who has saved Cain's rear countless number of times. And for someone like Cain who doesn't really trust many people... he actually trusts Jurgen.

And yet if you read the novels, even Cain himself admits he's had moments where his first instinct was to protect or help the troops under his care, with the rationalization of why he did that a being self-serving coming later as an afterthought. I'd like to think yes, he's a big coward, but he's got an even bigger heart that allows him to do heroic things even while scared out of his wits. Dude just has a massive inferiority complex.

That’s what I think. He is a perfectly normal soldier who wants to not die a horrible death, but thanks to Schola indoctrination that instinct was supposed to be beaten out of him so he feels guilty for it and sees himself as a complete cowardly fraud when in reality he’s a tactical savant and has an intact will to live

I agree. In any other universe, he’d be a straight-up hero... but this is 40k, where anything but frothing, suicidal zeal is considered cowardice. He’s been conditioned to think that refusing to throw himself into a meat-grinder is a moral failing, instead of a very reasonable and human reaction. To quote his girlfriend Amberley Vail: “It is also worth reflecting that if, as is often asserted, courage consists not of the absence of fear but the overcoming of it, Cain does indeed richly deserve his heroic reputation, even if he always steadfastly denied the fact!”

@goff0103 Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he genuinely wanted them purely as meat shields, wouldn't that entail him deliberately letting them take the hits he's afraid of taking? That seems to contradict with his drive to keep them alive even in situations where there would be no risk to himself to let them die, as that's their job as meatshields. I'm just saying, his assertions that he's actually being a selfish coward who keeps his troops alive simply to have something to throw between himself and the enemy ring hollow when he often throws himself into danger to save them.

@@TheAngryXenite He generally rationalizes it as "It's better if I make it so they WANT to take the hits for me instead of me ORDERING them to!" So he takes every opportunity to make a show of how much he cares about them and how he would totally do the same for them... To the point where does legitimately care for them and would totally take serious heat off of his subordinates (if he thinks he can afford it, despite the danger), but he doesn't realize that. His self-esteem is so deep in the gutter that he thinks all of his compassionate actions is just him building up a moral debt with others, for him to cash in when it all goes to Hell But up to his peaceful death, he never ends up cashing it all in.
