I think that there was something "wrong" with Perturabo from the beginning. Either Chaos pierced the wards the Emperor erected around his capsule or the Emperor created an unbalanced personality in The Lord of Iron. He was extremely paranoid and had a marked tendency towards grievance. Perhaps this was down to The Eye's looming presence, but Perturabo was on a path towards dehumanization by the time The Emperor rediscovered him. Unfortunately, the Master of Mankind did not attempt to set him straight. This bloody path was much like that of Curze or Angron, and it was intentionally accelerated by Horus and Erebus. The Hrud assignment of Horus made Perturabo crack, and the rebellion of Olympia, engineered by Erebus, made the Primarch fall completely off of the edge. Of all the fallen Primarchs, Perturabo's tragedy was the most preventable. He was correct, ultimately. Damakos, the Emperor and Horus all saw him as a weapon and held the human soul of Perturabo in a much lower regard. Any hope he might have had for leading a truly human life was dashed by the era he was born into and the skillset he was born with. Perhaps the main factor working against him was this Lord of Iron persona assigned to him by his father. In some respects, Perturabo was no such thing. Outwardly, yes, Perturabo was a tough guy. But just below the surface was a soul perhaps even more sensitive than that of Sanguinius or Vulkan. Moreover, that soul was very damaged. And it seemed that during the Great Crusade, no one could spare the time to mend the damage the Primarch had sustained during childhood. If Angron, literally brain-damaged during his upbringing, was still used for the potent weapon he was, what hope did Perturabo have of being made whole? Dorn and Guilliman, raised in relative privilege, were treated as a sons by The Emperor. Perturabo and Angron, damaged before their discovery, were treated as a weapons. Now the galaxy is still paying the price for that oversight.

Agreed. His primarch book suggests that he was awake during his time travelling through the warp in his pod. I think Angel Exterminatus has a passge that informs us that he was even conscious on Terra. He has genetic 'blue prints' or something he says he saw on Terra before they were stolen. He definitely is some kind of autistic genius.

@@jamesespinosa690 good point about the blueprints, I never noticed that! I think Perturabo may be 40k's most fascinating character, the one that perhaps best exemplifies what is unique about the verse. I am a really big fan of Valrak, but it pains me that he is Perturabo's most vocal detractor. His view robs the character of his complexity. I get that Valrak's online persona is that of an Imperial Fist, but I feel like his view just writes off the character as "bad" and encourages others to do the same. Thanks for the response. I always enjoy encountering someone who takes an interest in this character. I really hope that we get more from him in the coming years.

Perturabo seems to me almost someone on the autistic spectrum. Highly intelligent and gifted but suffered from rage and bitterness, almost temper tantrums. Like the decimation when he met his legion. And incredibly socially awkward.

@RSBurgener Ай бұрын

@@XHobbiesPrime I definitely think you can read him that way and I think many fans with these tendencies identify with him because of that. I think it's taboo (especially in the UK) to display anything but near total control over one's anger. And that's just not everyone in life. Many of us lose that control. And that's either a point of relation to you or it's repugnant. I've met people who were raised to never show strong feelings like that. And that might be the main difference between what Dorn and Perturabo represent.

@grimreminder5038 2 ай бұрын

Should've kept Perturabo behind to rebuild the worlds that came into compliance, especially but not limited to the Chapter's hazard colors and Pert's personal want to make humanity's lives better before the wars and things he hated growing up, got to him on a deeply personal level. The emperor haphazardly corrupted his own son by only seeing and using the destructive attributes, despite "seeing" the constructive. Now that road to disappointment's being done by his hands and no one else's.

Of the 4 Promarchs (including Perturabo) im intimately familiar with, it saddens me how much I pity Bo’s life. So brilliant but so alone he must’ve been, because he never really got along with his brothers in his entire life. Like a smart kid being held back by everyone else, maybe including his father? So naturally his fate also ends in tragedy because chaos quickly figured out how to trick and also corrupt him though his glaring weaknesses. But he had the most potential too…

Perterabo is a fascinating character study. He is one of the smartest, and most stalwart of the Primarchs. He originally wanted to better people's lives. But he was pushed into using his abilities for war by not only the father who found him on the planet he landed on, but also the father that created him. He didn't work well with others, nor did he form social bonds well; even with his own brothers later on in his life. He could have made the Imperium truly great. Maybe even taken it to a new golden era, if he hadn't been made a tool of war. Things may have been different for him. He had the potential of being one of the best of the best Primarchs. One of the best of the Imperium altogether. His is a story that makes you feel like there is so much lost potential.

With both is intellectual genius, and iron hard will power, and his natural affinity for what I call 'warp math', it seems like he may have had the ability to impose his will into the madness of chaos, and provide humanity with safety that way!

Perty is one of the few PRIMARCHS I can't excuse but at least somewhat understand falling. He is a man of practical data, the emperor withheld so much data the perty on logic followed his path. The emperor was the galaxies biggest hypocrite in a lot of ways, probably by design. Perty saw a man saying don't worship me, and then seeing evidence of the worship, the emperor said gods arents aren't real and perty saw evidence of them. List goes on.

Hard to imagine someone so utterly insecure, jealous and desperate for attention as being "the smartest"? However, other than horribly lazy and illogical writing by GW, he would have been the easiest of the fallen primarchs for a supposedly genius emperor to have kept in the loyal team. Just a couple of conversations reassuring him how the emperor could see his creative genius and what an important role he would play in the future of the imperium after the unfortunately necessary time of brutal conflict and conquest would have all but ensured his loyalty. But I guess the traitors needed their own seige and defense master so bad luck Perty, no daddy love for you! 🤣
