    This is a very debatable topic since unfortunately, the Big E is never like "yeap he's the one, he's my Warhammer 40k" but I think there is more to it than just yelling about the "GLORIOUS GOLDEN HAWK BOY"

    You would think the Emperor would've liked Jaghatai more. After all, he was a lot like what the Emperor espoused about wanting humanity to become. He was caring and kind, albeit not to the same extent as Vulkan, and was pragmatic and thoughtful, thinking things through logically. Though I suppose being anti-authoritarian could've easily driven a wedge between Jaghatai and the biggest tyrant humanity had ever seen.

    You could argue Sanguinius, Lion, or Corvus. But there’s nothing wrong with picking Vulkan. That’s why I love 40k though, cause you can have your own thoughts backed up by specific examples.

      Their first meeting just comes off as so different from the others. Firstly, Corvus gets a glimpse at what could be argued is the Emperor's real body beneath all the glamour before he's overwhelmed by it like everyone else. And then they have such a personal conversation together, and the Emperor seems genuinely pleased to just hear what Corvus has to say, and even takes a drink of water from a glass he gave him, which is strangely the most mundane human thing I think he's done. He obviously saw some sort of balance in Corvus that touched his human side.

      Trust =/= love or favour. They can coincide, but they aren't directly linked.
      The Emperor knew Russ would never betray him because he specifically made him so that he could never betray him. That's the reason for Russ and the Space Wolves having a bit of canine DNA.

    A lot of authors have written scenes and dialog containing the emperor.
    So, complete uniformity is literally impossible.
    However, if you look at his relationship with each primarch, it is basically an exact reflection of their individual personalities.
    In recent lore, very often he will be, do, appear, or say, whatever is necessary to achieve his goals. And, this is usually dependent upon the mind of the person he is dealing with.
    One of the recent authors said, "Like any good ruler, he will appear in whatever form that best benefits him at that time." (Paraphrasing.)

    I think the reason why Horus is The Emperor’s favorite son is the same as why Horus was always going to fall to Chaos. Horus is quite literally the only primarch with the same level of ambition as The Emperor. Only an ambition of godlike proportions could allow someone to believe their species are the rightful rulers of the galaxy and I think The Emperor found a lot of fortitude in Horus believing wholeheartedly in his plan. However, ambition of that level inevitably leads it’s wielder to believe they are the rightful ruler of the imperium. With 2 beings holding that same ambition within themselves, it was like a ticking time bomb. Horus was most likely The Emperor’s favorite because he was practically a mirror image of “The Emperor”, but not the true man underneath the mantle.

      There was always going to be a heresy though the big E didn't know exactly how it would fall. This is written in the latter Horus Heresy or Siege of Terra books though I can't remember exact sources. The big delta that Chaos threw at it was that it happened way sooner than he anticipated.

      I agree on the ambition front which inevitably would lead to chaos and a duel between the two because the Emperor only ever considered his children and the space marines tools for the protection and shepherding of humanity.

    I’d argue he liked Guilliman more than said here. I don’t remember if it was Malcador or emps but during that same conversation they remarked that Guilliman doing what he was made to do when the Lion was going to visit him. He also took the time to talk to Guilliman and soothe his concerns about how the great crusade was being conducted. Add on to this he choose him and his legion for the job of monarchia. Even if it was somehow a concealed threat he still thought highly enough of them to trust them for the job and to serve as a good example for the word bearers.

    I forget what book it is in, but there is a scene soon after Vulkan is found where he is participating in a battle with some of his primarch brothers (I think Fulgrim, Ferrus, and Horus???) and one of them is standing on a hill with Big E watching things go down. They express their doubts about Vulkan and wonder what kind of primarch he is, only for Big E to basically say “watch this.” A rocket plunges into an area where some children are and as the smoke clears it becomes obvious that Vulkan has taken the blast and shielded a child with his body. The Big E looks at the other primarch and basically expresses “now that’s my boy right there.” I think it was clear to the other primarchs that the emperor loved Vulkan above all others.

    I really like this theory. What does every good father want? For their son to be everything they weren’t. In Vulkan, the Emperor could see the caring and compassionate side of humanity, that capacity for kindness that is possibly the greatest trait of our race and encapsulates all the good we are capable of when we try, a trait the Emperor had shirked in pursuit of the imperium.
    In short, Vulkan epitomizes the Emperor’s dream for humanity, a promised land he may help create but never see, except through the eyes of his son.
