Aye, brother Spartan. I was going to do a story with his menials complaining that Sanguinius got a day, but Malcador gets nothing. :( Would have been too long though. Too heavy. Went straight for the lore instead. :)
M Edvinsonn I agree with in the Lore itself he is at times intentionally overlooked as part of his character, to “hide” or blend in amongst everyone. Though in the real world I don’t think he even has a model and you seldom hear anyone talk about him.
its rather unfortunate that Malcador is a far better character than the emperor and stands in for him too much. The Emperor doesn't even have the benefit of the reader knowing his mind like Leto the 2nd.
That’s an interesting point. I wonder what the vision of the emperor was for humanity. To raise us beyond what makes us actually human? Or into something else? What is our potential exactly? Did the emperor love humanity because of what we were capable of being or because of what we are?
@@jakelensky6976 I think the Emperor's love is both but his motivation is that and he knows that humanity has the potential to become the greatest race to ever exist. To him, the Primarch's and Space Marines aren't just their own thing but the next step in humanity's evolution, eventually there will be no need for geneseeds when everyone is basically an Astartes
@@jakelensky6976 I mean he has already seen what Humanity alone is capable of. The Dark/Golden age of Technology. Where humans were the dominant race in the galaxy, a time of true peace with fellow xenos and the even the fucking Orks. With tech that could rival, even surpass the Necrontyr. And he never directly guided mankind throughout all that time. He knows what humanity itself is capable of, he just wants to place us back up on that pedestal. Cause has as far as he as seen, true peace is humanity's birthright.
My favorite character. "'I am the reckoner, I am the judge, I am the scrivener of the Imperium,,, the evaluator of it's ocean of souls. I am the Sigillite. I am the Regent of Terra.At my command ,the fate of a million worlds is determined"
Malcador’s order preserved key artefacts from history: the earliest human pottery, Shakespeare’s complete works, Van Gogh’s paintings, etc. You can’t help but wondering if he had a copy of Rogue Trader.
That take on Horus's and Malcadors confrontation is super interesting, and this scene about The Primarchs acting like imperial princes is something, I have always liked.
Thus, uncle Malcador proceeded to spank the oversized toddlers. Although, both Malcador and Horus did have a point. Malcador only did win the debate based off of how far removed the Primarchs are in reality. Although, that removal from reality is what made them better than humans and a better choice to rule humanity rather than humans ruling over humans. The reasoning that Big E wanted it to be that way is the only reason why Malcador won that debate, which is hilarious as the Emperor is the ruler of all mankind and that the council of man is under Malcador's rule, which you coiuld hardly say neither both are human.
‘Horus can be beaten,’ ‘He is a fanatic, and that’s how I know he can be beaten. Because beneath whatever horrors drive them, fanatics always hide a secret doubt.’ - Malcador the Sigillite. 'The Master of Assassins was a ghost among ghosts, known only to the leaders of the clades as one of the High Lords of Terra; but as to which of the Emperor’s council he was, that was left for them to suspect. There were five living beings who knew the true identity of the Officio’s leader...' 'For a brief moment, the man who stood at the Emperor’s right hand, the man who wore the rank of Regent of Terra, studied his careworn face in the curvature of the glass. Malcador was himself once more, the cloak of the Master of Assassins gone and faded, the identity shuttered away until the next time it was needed.' Khan told Malcador right before Siege of Terra that he knows that Malcador is Perpetual. And that he know it because Horus told him this before Heresy. Sangunius right before Siege called Malcador "dear uncle."
Daimon X I’ve heard that quote before about fanatics hiding secret doubts. Gary Oldman in Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy talking about the character Karla.
There’s a pretty decent argument to be made that the Emperor was a fanatic, isn’t there? The guy slaughtered millions to wipe away people whose views in religion didn’t match his own.
I think the Emperor did far more damage to the relationships of many of the traitor primarchs, then Malcador did. In their defense. I would say. Both the Emperor and Macador lived for thousands of years, through violence and turmoil before the primarchs were ever created. The Thunder Warriors, as an example; and many other projects including the primarchs were created first and foremost as tools of war. I think both the Emperor and Malcador cared about the primarchs but kept their focus on the end game. To the point of not realizing how much damage they themselves occasionally did. It could also be suggested that even considering the primarchs to be his children. Neither the Emperor nor Malcador had done much in the way of parenting is thousands of years. Also, both the Emperor and Malcador new bad things were going to happen were focused on the long term. Horus was being a egotistical child. It is not unsurprising that someone with a brutal and bloody history like Malcador would act first to put the spoiled child in his place. Instead of acting like a loving parent, concerned more for their child; then the future of all of humanity. It's easier to judge others on their failings. Then to face the reality, that we ourselves are rarely any better. Love your work! Keep at it.
Malcador took a backhand slap from Lorgar who thought himself tough. Bah... only proves how hardcore the Sigilite actually is and what a daft wimpy sod the Word Bearers' Primarch always will be.
@Armadio Ye he could, but still, knowing that the Emperor was in high orbit and he had his full authority behind him and not to mention ample psychic power to completely evaporate Lorgar, he still allowed that cunt to slap him. Just shows us right there that he was a GOOD UNCLE indeed!
@Armadio I think that fact is debated, as he did age to my knowledge. While he made himself appear old, he was also aging and this played a role in his death on the throne. Furthermore, Valkan, a perpetual was reduce to ash and came back, but Malcador did not.
@@bryan0x05 Vulkan was reduced to ash by falling through a planet's atmo Malcador was reduced to psykic ash by the Golden Throne, a device that sucks the very soul of its user to power itself.
I could listen to Baldemort read his grocery list. Lol these videos are now the only lore videos I watch anymore. The introductions are always bone chilling (grey knights and sisters of battle especially), but the part about Horus just needed a hug from his uncle left me in tears lol papa noooo!
I wonder how Malcador would feel about the Inqusition now, being genocidal, god worshipping pseudo-heretics. Would be pretty cool to see some part of him again :)
What i like most about Malcador is how powerful he presents lore Magnus, Malcador could barely handle the strain of the Golden Throne despite his epicly powerful psychic prowess, yet Magnus was intended to take up that seat, transhuman or not the titanic psychic potency of lore Magnus...
@Timothy Dexter Thank you! I've been saying this to people who go "Oh Malcador could've whooped Horus." In theory, yes, but even that little Darth Vader act he pulled shaved off years on his lifespan. He is being held together by mechanical life-support, revitalizing treatments and magic so dark and terrible a Sith Lord would say, "Fuck That" and avoid it. He has the power, but not the body to support that power.
simular power but the body of magnus is more suted to the backlash from that much power EG: lets say they are both computers magnus has way better cooling case cable management but the same parts
Poor uncle malcador got a rough deal in the end. Having to die because of Magnus destroying the imperial webway and Horus having a massive temper tantrum.
Even so he had given horus his worse biting in his life and had made gullimand and roguldon had their memories of their forgotten brothers and their legion destroyed and forgotten forever and were probably killed by him.
*because of Magnus destroying the Imperial webway because he _correctly_ divined that Horus would betray the Emperor because Horus listened to Lorgar and Erebus and Kor Pharon because they were on Chao's side the whold time and the Emperor didn't bother to warn Lorgar about them because "reasons".
What a fascinating perspective, and one I hadn't considered before. I think more than any other character in all of the lore, Malcador encapsulates the setting; Equal parts Malcador the Hero, and Malcador the Villain.
Love your channel. Only just discovered it. Absolutely loving the necron details and the fact you are highlighting the niche and genuine implications of all of the factions and characters. Stefan Paszki loves this channel - END QUOTE
There's something about Baldy's delivery that raises his content above all the others for me. There's a giddy joy that's just contained, a playful humour and pained sadness that brings it alive far better - almost as though you have someone living in the setting, telling you its events first hand.
Luetin is great, very in depth with some cool breakdowns and theories. Baldermort takes on this fantastic role, similar to that oculis imperia guy, who is also very good, I can't decide who I like the most! We have so many great lore channels now! A few years ago it seemed all we had was vaults of terra (who has sadly disappeared) and 40k theories.
Luetin is the historian, nose deep in books dumping knowledge on you, Baldemort is that old soldier sitting by the fire, telling you all the stuff he has lived through. I like them both the same for different reasons.
Wow- finding your channel today has been like unearthing a Great Pyramid at Giza by complete accident! First, your incredible and, in my opinion, unsurpassed lore video on the Raven Guard- my chosen Legion- and now, after I subscribed and decided to take a look around your site- I find, as one of the first videos, one focused on my absolute favorite character in all of Warhammer lore- Malcador. Again, thank you so much for your incredible videos- I’m going to have a blast going through your back catalogue. You are awesome.
just saw this new video about one of my all time favorite 40k characters on one of my newly favorite 40k channels, in my suggested video list, SWEEEET!
I really enjoy reading about Malcador and especially his interactions with the Emperor. The story of him playing regicide with the emperor was fantastic.
An interesting viewpoint brother, it certainly seems that malcador's actions may have set the scene for that tragedy that is the horus heresy. Another amazing video it's like Christmas every time one of yours comes out, keep them coming Santa lol
Another great narration Baldermort!!! I had no ideas about his conversation with Horus. You've reignited some old suspicions about him that i put to bed after being blinded by his apparent martyrdom. I have long thought (I'm new to this, so this may be a dated idea) that Malkador could have conspired with the lord's of terra to trap the emperor on the golden throne. It's possible they feared the Emperor and his "sons". It's obvious Malkador had an ambivalence towards the primarks. He clearly considered them tools. There's a chance Malkador wanted to "thunder warrior" the primarks, but the Emperor, due to his paternal love for them, wouldn't allow it. Knowing this, or perhaps trying to prevent this, HE stole the young primarks, giving them to new families in hopes they would grow distant and possibly indifferent towards the Emperor; their "father". That finding them in this way he could better mold their futures, and their ultimate demise. I don't think he would have necessarily wanted it to go that far, but clearly has no compunction about genocide. Thinking this the only way to end the primarks while simultaneously enslaving the Emperor on the golden throne. How else accomplish both those seemingly impossible feats??? I think Malkador wanted a more morally neutral world then the Emperors altruistic vision. I think Malkador would want to be worshiped like a God; like the Emperor. So he used hows powers to conceal this from the Emperor and orchestrate this disaster to bring about this very world. I doubt he ever expected any of the primarks to live long without him or the Emperor around, but he knew without their link to lost technology they couldn't make more.. sorry, long comment...
This theory has no basis after you watch Malcador's and Emperor's discussion during Horus heresy. There it is revealed that Malcador never had any ambition but to see the vision of the Emperor fulfilled and would give his without a thought as he did. Also, it is implied by the Emperor that much like himself he was not once in his life even tempted by the ruinous powers and that says something considering he was the second or third most powerful psyker in the Imperium. Primarch's being tools was always the plan of the Emperor and Malcador being his most loyal subject would see it done. Did he make mistakes? Of course. But he was no traitor.
@@superchuckg4339 One more thing. The scene with Horus is not conveyed in full in this video. Horus was a complete douchebag throwing multiple insults at Malcador and threatening to kill him at that very moment on the chair he was sitting, also bragging about that he would go unpunished if he did. Then since Malcador was acting on the E's behalf a bunch of Custodians step in and ask if they should remove the primarchs from the room. If Malcador wanted to be an asshole he could be "yeah Horus just threatened my life in front of witnesses throw them out" and then we would have a showdown between primarchs and custodians and that would have been really ugly. Instead, he dismissed them and continued talking to Horus until the latter tried to speak his brother's name. At that point, he unleashed he psychic might and told him "Your father decreed it, boy". Horus kept trying to break the spell and say the name and Malcador said "You will be silent or I will unmake you right here, right now". The other two primarchs pleaded with him to stop before he kills Horus. Also, Malcador started seeing a golden light which might have been a sign from the E to chill out, which he did. Long post but it is one of the coolest scenes in the setting.
"My (very powerful ok but still) uncle bullied me once so I set the Galaxy on fire and murdered trillions of souls" Talk about the mindset of a child for little Horus. I love your take on the story but we gotta admit there's a little problem in proportional response here. Anyway I love your content and your take on the setting. And your VOICE damn, it's giving me heretical thoughts
I love everything about this. I love that you put the blame for the Heresy squarely on the shoulders of men who are simply a little too callous with one another, who do not take the time to ensure that they are understood, and are all competing too heavily for the favor of an often too-aloof father figure. The Heresy becomes a human failing, and thus something that can be related to and an even greater tragedy. In many ways, this dovetails with 'the longest minute' (Same music as well, by the way-- nice touch). You are rapidly becoming my favorite lore source. thank you for the effort and thought that goes into what you do.
I had my friend who’s fairly new to Warhammer listen to this and by the end his jaw was on the floor. Love your content and you’ve got at least a few new viewers now.
Fantastic as always my friend.. definitely think there’s more to come from this character as the Siege Of Terra series continues. Glad Nurgles Gift hasn’t managed to stop you putting out great content... Thank you My Lord, and The God Emperor protect you!
Excellent Video! As much as I still hold that Malcador is and deservedly a hero, who followed his friends orders to the cost of his own life... I love how you so poignantly expressed, how stating 'the' cause for something of such depth as the heresy is the height of misguided... The cause falls upon so many, it leaves none in the imperium clear of conscience... Malcador, like horus reached heights of virtue, but nonetheless subject to irreparable actions with unintended, tragic consequences... The good does not wash out the bad, nor the bad the good... Both are still derserving of their respective praise, and disdain!
Praise: Horus for what he started as, Malcador for what he died doing. Disdain: Malacdor for what he started as, Horus for what he died doing. It's interesting how they're journey's took completely different paths.
Incredible take on him! I'm so used to him just being the tragic lackey that died for his Boss that I welcome so much this take of him as someone pwoerful in his own right. And your mastery of the lore shows on that confrontation so much! Incredible work, Brother!
@Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Yes and no: I wish the bragging right of having watched all of your videos (even the battle reps) but if I'm honest I'm also just doing it for my own selfish reasons: I'm a college student and I'm about to graduate. Said graduation was supposed to be this year but not sure thanks to Nurgle. I'm glad I'm about to graduate but I feel odd and lost in many ways, and I'm told this is normal so I'm coping by watching your videos. Also: I am anxious about graduation duties I must perform sometime soon (the fact I don't know when is part of the anxiety source) Right now, it's all quiet and it feels like the quietness before the storm, so I'm binging on your videos and doing other fun, in-doors activities so I can get into my duties (whenever I get told to) well rested.
David Cortes gotcha. Graduation is a day. It’s an important day, but it’s a day. Don’t ruin it with worry. Sit back. Be prepared and know you got this. No matter what they ask you to do, it will be reasonable and you within your abilities. Or they wouldn’t ask? You got this. Know it. Believe it. Then you can enjoy it. So relax brother. It’s going to be a great day. :).
I know Inundation. You;ve been a massive support and an ardent fellow fan of warhammer. Thank you for all of your faith when things were not that great. Still lots of improvement to come, but over time. Well, should hit 15k for tomorrow. :) :)
I discovered you a few days ago, and in that short period of time you got like 800+ subs. But we all can hear why that is. Your voice can lead armys to battle, and encurage the frightened soldiers more effective, than the boltpistol of a commisar or even the presence of an angel of death! But it can, at the same time, also calm the wounded in their last moments in live. Keep it up, for the greater good for the dark Gods for the hivemind for Gork and Mork for the rest too and FOR THE EMPEROR!
Man, I know I always give you good comments... But... I don't know what to say about this... In the World of Emcees, we would say "Dawg you murdered that s*•t." The depth of you counter point is well taken... Two defiinite ways to make people hate you 1)be different and unashamed of it 2)Belittle people when you have an advantage. I love Malcador, in my top 3 characters but the jury is in! Guilty... He made Horus his "b!?+h"! This was wonderful... Keep keep throwing what you throw....
Brother Baldermort, you have blown my mind with this one. I always liked that story of Malcador humbling Horus but never viewed it through these lenses before. So thank you, honestly, thank you brother.
Quite unexpectedly, Horus laughed, loud and long. ‘You can’t even say it, can you,’ he said, incredulously. ‘You can’t even say his name.’ ‘Do not speak it,’ Malcador thundered, loading the words with psychic force that struck the primarch’s mind like a hammer to the forehead. Horus reeled, blinking away the pain. His brothers, too, seemed to feel the blow, along with every mortal still in the chamber. Even the Sigillite’s own ears rang, but he kept his voice firm and unwavering. ‘This was your father’s command, boy, and you all agreed to it. To disobey now is to break faith with the Emperor Himself.’ The primarch gave a wry, defiant grin. ‘My brother’s name was-’ Faster than human thought, Malcador’s empty hand snapped up into an arcane gesture long forgotten by any other living soul on Terra. ... Horus froze, his limbs locked fast within his armour. He shuddered uncontrollably, pressure building in his muscles as he fought against it. Slowly, Malcador stood, holding the primarch in place with the power of his mind, and nothing more.
Stand. Begin slow clap that develops into a roaring applause. Malcador is my favorite 40k character, and I'm not saying you swayed my faith in the man, but definitely brought to light a whole new angle of thought.
Aaah good, the second (Third if you ask magnus) most powerful human pysker to have ever lived. Too bad he really was insignificant compared to papa emps, dude burned up in under 24 hours on that throne... Just goes to show how absolutely ridiculously op the emperor is! Good video Lord Baldermort! Fantastic quality of narration as always!
It is hard to imagine that he was simply just a man. My own theory is that he was once a man with powerful psychic second only to the Emperor. He and the Emperor became friends. As Malcador reached the end of his life the Emperor gave a small part of his soul to keep Malcador alive. It is said that each of the Primarchs as given a aspect of the Emperor. Well we have Alpharius Omegon. The twin Primarchs said to be one soul in two bodies. Wouldn't that suggest the Emperor has the ability to divide his own soul? Hence be in two places at once? I am not saying Malcador was the Emperor but that he was kept alive because the Emperor shared his soul with him to keep his friend alive and thus enhanced Malcador's own natural abilities, life span and be able to take a back hand from Lorgar and live.
Great Video, Malcador is always a mysterious figure in the 40k Lore. I have, recently, wondered if Malcador was a external part of the Emperor, some how psychically created. I have no evidance but just a odd thought.
I remember discussing the exact opposite 15 years ago. That the Malcador was the actual Emperor and the golden Demi-god was a psychic manifestation or projection.
With all this info in mind, yes it's higly probable and almost certain that this precise moment is when the Horus Heresy began. In this moment, i don't blame Horus for feeling like his brother's were being cast aside like used and broken tools - and him fearing he was next when he was no longer needed.
No lie bro.....i have breen playing since 91 and have always loved the game and the lore, reading and re-reading my original rogue trader books. All your stuff is amazing! My kids (boy and girl) and i listen to your stuff for story time. They are 13 and 14, and because of you they have a better understanding of the lore. The way you give a story instruction about what your going to talk about helps put everything in perspective. Your ending, how you tell us to have fun. Seriously keep it up, and thank you!
This popped up in my feed and starting it I was like 'hay I know this voice', and of course, it's Boldemort, the distractubals narrator. Lots love love man, keep it up.
Huh calling dorn 'dawn' just put rogal in a whole new light for me. I can just picture him in an apron and feather duster spring cleaning his fortresses lol
Ahh one of my favourite characters. He was a human and flawed and made some massive mistakes. But he knew what he needed to do at the end and made the greastest sacrifice.
Excellent episode as always. It is so sad that the concepts you talked about in regard to the relationship between malcador and horus where were given such short shrift by the novels. Instead of harboring deep grievances and well warranted reservations about their future it felt like Horus went in to a snake hut and came out evil. A little more back story and nuance would have done the HH Novels a world of good.
BTW, I had NO knowledge of that meeting with Horus and yeah, it makes the Horus Heresy look a lot more justified now. Especially with how the Emperor regarded his "sons" in Master of Mankind.
17:55 that's rich coming from a superhuman, near immortal, that for some reason is staying in the council. He is as much removed from humanity as the man he was scolding
Timothy Dexter but ‘normal humans’ dont live for over 4K years? Nor have type power he did. So how was he a normal chap?? More close to humanity than a primarch, granted entirely, but hardly a normal human! :) b
@@Baldermort I wouldn't say he was normal, but that he was *human*. That was what the vision of the Emperor was for humanity, for humans to rule humans. Malcador was born human and was raised as human. The only difference was is that he was a powerful psyker, which in his time, were normal humans. Even the Emperor knows he is not human, simply that he was made from and of humans. And that Man confided onto Malcador in a chess game that he wouldn't mind fading into obscurity if he knew in certainty that humanity's future is safe.
I honestly never noticed the 2 numbers on the chair of malcador, I wonder what it would really mean. I also really like your reasoning on how he indirectly started the Horus heresy, it would make sence. keep up the good work.
Necromunda lore in the future? I'd love to see some. As a narrator, sir, you have a voice that makes me sit up straighter when I listen to lore videos.
I think it would be cool if they made the shamens Atlanteans. That chaos tried to stop the making of the emperor and thats why the world was destroyed and we fell into a dark age. It would be a good pattern that made sense.
Malcador The Hero. A shining example of Horace's grave misconception that mere humans were incapable of being entrusted with positions of responsibility and power.
Malcador's confrontation with Horus just reminds me of the Thunder Warriors. Also, there is room in Malcador's history for a story akin to squad Dynastes of the Adeptus Custodes. Perhaps, like them, he was taken as a trophy of conquest by the Emperor. Perhaps, he and the Emperor were not always on good terms. Maybe he was not initially willing to serve the Emperor. I say this in reference to Malcador's supposed actions during Old Night.
Thank you for listening, good sir. Aye, nothing so huge is so easily done. Bits and pieces, drops and cuts. The path was long, but straight. :( (Love warhammer so much for it!)
Malcadore understood that the masses were NOT intelligent. That they NEEDED an emperor. One that played the part but NEVER allowed himself to become consumed by it. He couldn't do it himself but his friend could. He cautioned his friend about the road he was going to take. That is was the path, most difficult. If he lost himself, mankind would rise up and overthrow him. You...cannot EVER educate the masses. Gently guide them and sacrifice them if needed. They will worship for it but only as long as you keep in mind that this is a performance. Follow this path and you'll help mankind as no other!
Malcadore is a fantastic character. There is so much to him, it’s unfortunate that he’s often overlooked.
Aye, brother Spartan. I was going to do a story with his menials complaining that Sanguinius got a day, but Malcador gets nothing. :( Would have been too long though. Too heavy. Went straight for the lore instead. :)
Being overlooked is also part of his character?
M Edvinsonn I agree with in the Lore itself he is at times intentionally overlooked as part of his character, to “hide” or blend in amongst everyone. Though in the real world I don’t think he even has a model and you seldom hear anyone talk about him.
Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Hmmm well, maybe in the future we can get that story??
its rather unfortunate that Malcador is a far better character than the emperor and stands in for him too much. The Emperor doesn't even have the benefit of the reader knowing his mind like Leto the 2nd.
Malcadore: **turns to dust**
Me: “I’m not crying!... I’m not!”
The emperor: now I know why you cry, but it is one of the many things I could not do. (Gives thumbs up whilst being intured into the golden throne)
"I don't feel so good mister Emps."
Malcador believed in humanity not the post human. Always liked that
Exactly. Don;t get me wrong = I love the character, but I also see his potential errors. :)
That’s an interesting point. I wonder what the vision of the emperor was for humanity. To raise us beyond what makes us actually human? Or into something else? What is our potential exactly? Did the emperor love humanity because of what we were capable of being or because of what we are?
Considering Horus was willing to betray everything over the idea, I think Malcador had justification.
@@jakelensky6976 I think the Emperor's love is both but his motivation is that and he knows that humanity has the potential to become the greatest race to ever exist.

It makes them more human... like the Greek God's. They are all flawed😊
‘Horus can be beaten,’ ‘He is a fanatic, and that’s how I know he can be beaten. Because beneath whatever horrors drive them, fanatics always hide a secret doubt.’ - Malcador the Sigillite.

Damn, we get double Malcador today with you and Wolf Lord Rho.
Is it Malcador day or what?
No idea why we both did the same thing on the same day, but my videos take hours and hours to produce. Something in the air I guess. Weird.
@@Baldermort talk about coincidence huh... But still, love both of your content. You both have your styles of narrative which make you unique.
@@Baldermort you're both psykers and are unaware of it.

2 Malcador vids..... rho and b. A sign of the psychic awakening?
Malcador took a backhand slap from Lorgar who thought himself tough. Bah... only proves how hardcore the Sigilite actually is and what a daft wimpy sod the Word Bearers' Primarch always will be.
LOL!
@Armadio Ye he could, but still, knowing that the Emperor was in high orbit and he had his full authority behind him and not to mention ample psychic power to completely evaporate Lorgar, he still allowed that cunt to slap him. Just shows us right there that he was a GOOD UNCLE indeed!
@Armadio I think that fact is debated, as he did age to my knowledge. While he made himself appear old, he was also aging and this played a role in his death on the throne. Furthermore, Valkan, a perpetual was reduce to ash and came back, but Malcador did not.
@@bryan0x05 Vulkan was reduced to ash by falling through a planet's atmo
Malcador was reduced to psykic ash by the Golden Throne, a device that sucks the very soul of its user to power itself.
@@luckylarry71 hardcore, more like showing weakness
I could listen to Baldemort read his grocery list. Lol these videos are now the only lore videos I watch anymore. The introductions are always bone chilling (grey knights and sisters of battle especially), but the part about Horus just needed a hug from his uncle left me in tears lol papa noooo!
He needs to do audio books, pretty sure with this voice he could read the phone book s and make it good
I wonder how Malcador would feel about the Inqusition now, being genocidal, god worshipping pseudo-heretics. Would be pretty cool to see some part of him again :)
Maybe that was his plan the whole time.....muhahahaha
Most likely he would feel the same way the emperor would feel about the imperium in its current form
Voodoo Honeyjar he would do to the Ecclesiarchy what Robute want’s to, but in a way that Robute would get nightmares.
@Lord Admiral Spire They have become one of the very forces of darkness they say they exist to protect against
@Lord Admiral Spire Well said. No one is comfortable with The Inquisition (which is how they like it) but without them, humanity would be screwed.
What i like most about Malcador is how powerful he presents lore Magnus, Malcador could barely handle the strain of the Golden Throne despite his epicly powerful psychic prowess, yet Magnus was intended to take up that seat, transhuman or not the titanic psychic potency of lore Magnus...
@Timothy Dexter Thank you! I've been saying this to people who go "Oh Malcador could've whooped Horus." In theory, yes, but even that little Darth Vader act he pulled shaved off years on his lifespan.
He is being held together by mechanical life-support, revitalizing treatments and magic so dark and terrible a Sith Lord would say, "Fuck That" and avoid it. He has the power, but not the body to support that power.
simular power but the body of magnus is more suted to the backlash from that much power
EG: lets say they are both computers magnus has way better cooling case cable management but the same parts
The humbling of Horus is by far my favorite scene in the lore. Yet another great video my friend, keep up the good work.
Thank you, Baldermort. Your benevolence is as inspiring as the tales you expertly convey.
LONG LIVE MALCADOR THE HERO!
I was literally just thinking about when you were going to get around to covering Malcador. And lo and behold here we are.
Poor uncle malcador got a rough deal in the end. Having to die because of Magnus destroying the imperial webway and Horus having a massive temper tantrum.
Even so he had given horus his worse biting in his life and had made gullimand and roguldon had their memories of their forgotten brothers and their legion destroyed and forgotten forever and were probably killed by him.
What tantrum did Magnus throw?
*because of Magnus destroying the Imperial webway because he _correctly_ divined that Horus would betray the Emperor because Horus listened to Lorgar and Erebus and Kor Pharon because they were on Chao's side the whold time and the Emperor didn't bother to warn Lorgar about them because "reasons".
Who says he's dead? He is a perpetual after all.
Ey. Mayb Malcador is Cypher now. 🤔🫣
What a fascinating perspective, and one I hadn't considered before. I think more than any other character in all of the lore, Malcador encapsulates the setting; Equal parts Malcador the Hero, and Malcador the Villain.
Still, breaking Horus windpipe and calling him ”boy”... that’s epic!
Love your channel. Only just discovered it.
Absolutely loving the necron details and the fact you are highlighting the niche and genuine implications of all of the factions and characters.
Stefan Paszki loves this channel - END QUOTE
Seriously how has this channel so view subscribers?
These videos are Luetin level
Just light entertainment, nothing more. :)
Thanks for listening, brother Becker. :)
There's something about Baldy's delivery that raises his content above all the others for me. There's a giddy joy that's just contained, a playful humour and pained sadness that brings it alive far better - almost as though you have someone living in the setting, telling you its events first hand.
Luetin is great, very in depth with some cool breakdowns and theories. Baldermort takes on this fantastic role, similar to that oculis imperia guy, who is also very good, I can't decide who I like the most!
We have so many great lore channels now! A few years ago it seemed all we had was vaults of terra (who has sadly disappeared) and 40k theories.
Luetin is the historian, nose deep in books dumping knowledge on you, Baldemort is that old soldier sitting by the fire, telling you all the stuff he has lived through. I like them both the same for different reasons.
Wow- finding your channel today has been like unearthing a Great Pyramid at Giza by complete accident! First, your incredible and, in my opinion, unsurpassed lore video on the Raven Guard- my chosen Legion- and now, after I subscribed and decided to take a look around your site- I find, as one of the first videos, one focused on my absolute favorite character in all of Warhammer lore- Malcador. Again, thank you so much for your incredible videos- I’m going to have a blast going through your back catalogue. You are awesome.
I can't praise you more ive run out of praise to give. Keep up your great work and grats on your continued success.
just saw this new video about one of my all time favorite 40k characters on one of my newly favorite 40k channels, in my suggested video list, SWEEEET!
I really enjoy reading about Malcador and especially his interactions with the Emperor. The story of him playing regicide with the emperor was fantastic.
"Born to the Purple" nice reference :)
Sounds like my CK2 runs
purple is the color that does represent royalty after all
Ty for making another video. Great stuff, as always.
Edit: Damn, actually made me feel bad for Horus. Impressive.
An interesting viewpoint brother, it certainly seems that malcador's actions may have set the scene for that tragedy that is the horus heresy. Another amazing video it's like Christmas every time one of yours comes out, keep them coming Santa lol
Malcador had the power to erase memories so what horros he has done on gullimand and roguldon ? we may never know ?
Late night at work and I find the perfect bedtime story. Thank you yet again.
Earliest I ever been on TH-cam just what I needed after getting off work.
Hello TH-cam algorithm. Please be kind to a show I like.
Thank you brother Ulysess. :)
Another great narration Baldermort!!!
I had no ideas about his conversation with Horus. You've reignited some old suspicions about him that i put to bed after being blinded by his apparent martyrdom.
I have long thought (I'm new to this, so this may be a dated idea) that Malkador could have conspired with the lord's of terra to trap the emperor on the golden throne. It's possible they feared the Emperor and his "sons". It's obvious Malkador had an ambivalence towards the primarks. He clearly considered them tools. There's a chance Malkador wanted to "thunder warrior" the primarks, but the Emperor, due to his paternal love for them, wouldn't allow it. Knowing this, or perhaps trying to prevent this, HE stole the young primarks, giving them to new families in hopes they would grow distant and possibly indifferent towards the Emperor; their "father". That finding them in this way he could better mold their futures, and their ultimate demise.
I don't think he would have necessarily wanted it to go that far, but clearly has no compunction about genocide. Thinking this the only way to end the primarks while simultaneously enslaving the Emperor on the golden throne. How else accomplish both those seemingly impossible feats???
I think Malkador wanted a more morally neutral world then the Emperors altruistic vision. I think Malkador would want to be worshiped like a God; like the Emperor. So he used hows powers to conceal this from the Emperor and orchestrate this disaster to bring about this very world. I doubt he ever expected any of the primarks to live long without him or the Emperor around, but he knew without their link to lost technology they couldn't make more.. sorry, long comment...
This theory has no basis after you watch Malcador's and Emperor's discussion during Horus heresy. There it is revealed that Malcador never had any ambition but to see the vision of the Emperor fulfilled and would give his without a thought as he did. Also, it is implied by the Emperor that much like himself he was not once in his life even tempted by the ruinous powers and that says something considering he was the second or third most powerful psyker in the Imperium. Primarch's being tools was always the plan of the Emperor and Malcador being his most loyal subject would see it done. Did he make mistakes? Of course. But he was no traitor.
@@shadearca thanks for the info!
@@superchuckg4339 One more thing. The scene with Horus is not conveyed in full in this video. Horus was a complete douchebag throwing multiple insults at Malcador and threatening to kill him at that very moment on the chair he was sitting, also bragging about that he would go unpunished if he did. Then since Malcador was acting on the E's behalf a bunch of Custodians step in and ask if they should remove the primarchs from the room. If Malcador wanted to be an asshole he could be "yeah Horus just threatened my life in front of witnesses throw them out" and then we would have a showdown between primarchs and custodians and that would have been really ugly. Instead, he dismissed them and continued talking to Horus until the latter tried to speak his brother's name. At that point, he unleashed he psychic might and told him "Your father decreed it, boy". Horus kept trying to break the spell and say the name and Malcador said "You will be silent or I will unmake you right here, right now". The other two primarchs pleaded with him to stop before he kills Horus. Also, Malcador started seeing a golden light which might have been a sign from the E to chill out, which he did. Long post but it is one of the coolest scenes in the setting.
"My (very powerful ok but still) uncle bullied me once so I set the Galaxy on fire and murdered trillions of souls"
Talk about the mindset of a child for little Horus.
I love your take on the story but we gotta admit there's a little problem in proportional response here.
Anyway I love your content and your take on the setting. And your VOICE damn, it's giving me heretical thoughts
I NEVER in my life seen Malcador in any other way than a hero... But now? Holy shit, I AM SOOO HAPPY I FOUND THIS CHANNEL. Thank you Balder.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love everything about this. I love that you put the blame for the Heresy squarely on the shoulders of men who are simply a little too callous with one another, who do not take the time to ensure that they are understood, and are all competing too heavily for the favor of an often too-aloof father figure. The Heresy becomes a human failing, and thus something that can be related to and an even greater tragedy. In many ways, this dovetails with 'the longest minute' (Same music as well, by the way-- nice touch). You are rapidly becoming my favorite lore source. thank you for the effort and thought that goes into what you do.
As soon as I got this notification, I knew it would be pure Gold!
I had my friend who’s fairly new to Warhammer listen to this and by the end his jaw was on the floor. Love your content and you’ve got at least a few new viewers now.
A fine theory... I would have to agree with that causality. Malcador is such a great character. wish there would be more.
Fantastic as always my friend.. definitely think there’s more to come from this character as the Siege Of Terra series continues. Glad Nurgles Gift hasn’t managed to stop you putting out great content... Thank you My Lord, and The God Emperor protect you!
My Monday just got way better! This is one my my favourite 40k characters.
Excellent Video!
As much as I still hold that Malcador is and deservedly a hero, who followed his friends orders to the cost of his own life...
I love how you so poignantly expressed, how stating 'the' cause for something of such depth as the heresy is the height of misguided...
The cause falls upon so many, it leaves none in the imperium clear of conscience...
Malcador, like horus reached heights of virtue, but nonetheless subject to irreparable actions with unintended, tragic consequences...
The good does not wash out the bad, nor the bad the good...
Both are still derserving of their respective praise, and disdain!
Praise: Horus for what he started as, Malcador for what he died doing.
Disdain: Malacdor for what he started as, Horus for what he died doing.
It's interesting how they're journey's took completely different paths.
Amazing work as per usual mate, you have quickly become one of the best 40k lore masters in the community imo
Incredible take on him! I'm so used to him just being the tragic lackey that died for his Boss that I welcome so much this take of him as someone pwoerful in his own right. And your mastery of the lore shows on that confrontation so much! Incredible work, Brother!
David Cortes thanks brother Cortes. A lot. ;). Really binging hard this week. You ok?
@Baldermort's Guide to Warhammer Yes and no: I wish the bragging right of having watched all of your videos (even the battle reps) but if I'm honest I'm also just doing it for my own selfish reasons:
I'm a college student and I'm about to graduate. Said graduation was supposed to be this year but not sure thanks to Nurgle. I'm glad I'm about to graduate but I feel odd and lost in many ways, and I'm told this is normal so I'm coping by watching your videos.
Also: I am anxious about graduation duties I must perform sometime soon (the fact I don't know when is part of the anxiety source) Right now, it's all quiet and it feels like the quietness before the storm, so I'm binging on your videos and doing other fun, in-doors activities so I can get into my duties (whenever I get told to) well rested.
David Cortes gotcha. Graduation is a day. It’s an important day, but it’s a day. Don’t ruin it with worry. Sit back. Be prepared and know you got this. No matter what they ask you to do, it will be reasonable and you within your abilities. Or they wouldn’t ask?
You got this.
Know it.
Believe it.
Then you can enjoy it.
So relax brother. It’s going to be a great day. :).
Wow, Baldermort! I just peeped your subscriber count at 14K and feel cool I was there since a thousand.
I know Inundation. You;ve been a massive support and an ardent fellow fan of warhammer. Thank you for all of your faith when things were not that great. Still lots of improvement to come, but over time. Well, should hit 15k for tomorrow. :) :)
The Inundation 15 now. Lol. :). Yay! :). We’re getting there. :).
I discovered you a few days ago, and in that short period of time you got like 800+ subs.
But we all can hear why that is.
Your voice can lead armys to battle, and encurage the frightened soldiers more effective, than the boltpistol of a commisar or even the presence of an angel of death! But it can, at the same time, also calm the wounded in their last moments in live.
Keep it up,
for the greater good
for the dark Gods
for the hivemind
for Gork and Mork
for the rest too
and
FOR THE EMPEROR!
The background music for this one is a perfect choice. A shorter, but extremely powerful entry.
Man, I know I always give you good comments... But... I don't know what to say about this...
In the World of Emcees, we would say "Dawg you murdered that s*•t."
The depth of you counter point is well taken... Two defiinite ways to make people hate you 1)be different and unashamed of it 2)Belittle people when you have an advantage.
I love Malcador, in my top 3 characters but the jury is in! Guilty... He made Horus his "b!?+h"!
This was wonderful... Keep keep throwing what you throw....
Thank you biologius. Glad you liked it. I was a bit worried again, so pretty releieved. Phew. :) :)
Video starts, already liked. By the Emperor, the WH lore is awesome, and you make it just that much better. Thank you, kind sir.
Brother Baldermort, you have blown my mind with this one. I always liked that story of Malcador humbling Horus but never viewed it through these lenses before. So thank you, honestly, thank you brother.
Quite unexpectedly, Horus laughed, loud and long.
‘You can’t even say it, can you,’ he said, incredulously. ‘You can’t even say his name.’
‘Do not speak it,’ Malcador thundered, loading the words with psychic force that struck the primarch’s mind like a hammer to the forehead.
Horus reeled, blinking away the pain. His brothers, too, seemed to feel the blow, along with every mortal still in the chamber. Even the Sigillite’s own ears rang, but he kept his voice firm and unwavering.
‘This was your father’s command, boy, and you all agreed to it. To disobey now is to break faith with the Emperor Himself.’
The primarch gave a wry, defiant grin. ‘My brother’s name was-’
Faster than human thought, Malcador’s empty hand snapped up into an arcane gesture long forgotten by any other living soul on Terra.
...
Horus froze, his limbs locked fast within his armour. He shuddered uncontrollably, pressure building in his muscles as he fought against it. Slowly, Malcador stood, holding the primarch in place with the power of his mind, and nothing more.
Stand. Begin slow clap that develops into a roaring applause. Malcador is my favorite 40k character, and I'm not saying you swayed my faith in the man, but definitely brought to light a whole new angle of thought.
Aaah good, the second (Third if you ask magnus) most powerful human pysker to have ever lived.
Too bad he really was insignificant compared to papa emps, dude burned up in under 24 hours on that throne... Just goes to show how absolutely ridiculously op the emperor is!
Good video Lord Baldermort! Fantastic quality of narration as always!
Very interesting perspective on Malcador's potiential influence on Horus turning traitor. Thank you for sharing that.
also Excellent video, specially the final statement. Loved it, keep it up.
It is hard to imagine that he was simply just a man. My own theory is that he was once a man with powerful psychic second only to the Emperor. He and the Emperor became friends. As Malcador reached the end of his life the Emperor gave a small part of his soul to keep Malcador alive.
It is said that each of the Primarchs as given a aspect of the Emperor. Well we have Alpharius Omegon. The twin Primarchs said to be one soul in two bodies. Wouldn't that suggest the Emperor has the ability to divide his own soul? Hence be in two places at once? I am not saying Malcador was the Emperor but that he was kept alive because the Emperor shared his soul with him to keep his friend alive and thus enhanced Malcador's own natural abilities, life span and be able to take a back hand from Lorgar and live.
INteresting idea. Very interesting. Bit Babylon 5, but I love it! :)
@@Baldermort another connoisseur of Babylon 5 I see. That series was awesome!
A bright spot in my quarantined existance. Thank you baldermort!
Ouch. How long are you down so far, brother? :(
Thank you for such an indepth video about Malcador. He is one of my (or maybe even the top) favorite characters in all of the WH40k setting.
Great Video, Malcador is always a mysterious figure in the 40k Lore. I have, recently, wondered if Malcador was a external part of the Emperor, some how psychically created. I have no evidance but just a odd thought.
Interesting idea. Very. :) :)
I remember discussing the exact opposite 15 years ago. That the Malcador was the actual Emperor and the golden Demi-god was a psychic manifestation or projection.
With all this info in mind, yes it's higly probable and almost certain that this precise moment is when the Horus Heresy began. In this moment, i don't blame Horus for feeling like his brother's were being cast aside
like used and broken tools - and him fearing he was next when he was no longer needed.
Malcador was one harsh Mom. lol. One of my theories is he was the last of The Men of Gold. great vid as always!
Loved the video! Good to see Malcador get some love. I never even knew that Malcador was not his real name.
No lie bro.....i have breen playing since 91 and have always loved the game and the lore, reading and re-reading my original rogue trader books. All your stuff is amazing! My kids (boy and girl) and i listen to your stuff for story time. They are 13 and 14, and because of you they have a better understanding of the lore. The way you give a story instruction about what your going to talk about helps put everything in perspective. Your ending, how you tell us to have fun. Seriously keep it up, and thank you!
I read 40k with your voice in my head Baldermort, you reliably give me goosebumps. your content is phenomenal. The community is lucky to have you!
He was the last revealed piece in regicide, the truth teller, the jester. His sacrifice is what allowed the Imperium to "win" the Horus Heresy.
This popped up in my feed and starting it I was like 'hay I know this voice', and of course, it's Boldemort, the distractubals narrator. Lots love love man, keep it up.
Uncle Malcador cooked up a nice stew for the Chaos gods, didn't he? ;)
Especially since we found out the Astronomicon wasn’t intended as a beacon...
Uncle malcadore. Haha can’t imagine dawn, Conrad or angron calling him that maybe sanguinius
They just say "uncle" no malcador
Huh calling dorn 'dawn' just put rogal in a whole new light for me. I can just picture him in an apron and feather duster spring cleaning his fortresses lol
Ahh one of my favourite characters. He was a human and flawed and made some massive mistakes.
But he knew what he needed to do at the end and made the greastest sacrifice.
Excellent episode as always. It is so sad that the concepts you talked about in regard to the relationship between malcador and horus where were given such short shrift by the novels. Instead of harboring deep grievances and well warranted reservations about their future it felt like Horus went in to a snake hut and came out evil. A little more back story and nuance would have done the HH Novels a world of good.
BTW, I had NO knowledge of that meeting with Horus and yeah, it makes the Horus Heresy look a lot more justified now. Especially with how the Emperor regarded his "sons" in Master of Mankind.
Seriously this is amazing, so rich and immersive. You have a real gift mate.
17:55 that's rich coming from a superhuman, near immortal, that for some reason is staying in the council.
He is as much removed from humanity as the man he was scolding
Bravo! Here here! :) Well said brother. :)
Timothy Dexter but ‘normal humans’ dont live for over 4K years? Nor have type power he did. So how was he a normal chap?? More close to humanity than a primarch, granted entirely, but hardly a normal human! :) b
@@Baldermort I wouldn't say he was normal, but that he was *human*. That was what the vision of the Emperor was for humanity, for humans to rule humans. Malcador was born human and was raised as human. The only difference was is that he was a powerful psyker, which in his time, were normal humans. Even the Emperor knows he is not human, simply that he was made from and of humans. And that Man confided onto Malcador in a chess game that he wouldn't mind fading into obscurity if he knew in certainty that humanity's future is safe.
Fantastic work as always sir!
Gruncle Malcador!!! Love this dude!:) wish he was still around!:)
Always love waking up to a baldemort video
Malcador the lad
Woke up on my bday to this thank u best present ever Baldemort ❤️
I honestly never noticed the 2 numbers on the chair of malcador, I wonder what it would really mean. I also really like your reasoning on how he indirectly started the Horus heresy, it would make sence. keep up the good work.
Oh no. A Malcador video. this is going to be amazing.
It was.
Extremely insightful and thought provoking, wonderfully done!
That's a really interesting way to look at that brother. I never thought of that being the start of the Hersey, but it makes sense
Thank you, brother Boldemort.
Necromunda lore in the future? I'd love to see some. As a narrator, sir, you have a voice that makes me sit up straighter when I listen to lore videos.
I think it would be cool if they made the shamens Atlanteans. That chaos tried to stop the making of the emperor and thats why the world was destroyed and we fell into a dark age. It would be a good pattern that made sense.
Malcador The Hero.
A shining example of Horace's grave misconception that mere humans were incapable of being entrusted with positions of responsibility and power.
My favourite character in the setting :)
Malcador's confrontation with Horus just reminds me of the Thunder Warriors. Also, there is room in Malcador's history for a story akin to squad Dynastes of the Adeptus Custodes. Perhaps, like them, he was taken as a trophy of conquest by the Emperor. Perhaps, he and the Emperor were not always on good terms. Maybe he was not initially willing to serve the Emperor. I say this in reference to Malcador's supposed actions during Old Night.
Another great video sir. I definitely agree with your theory. It was drops in the bucket leading towards the Horus heresy.
Thank you for listening, good sir. Aye, nothing so huge is so easily done. Bits and pieces, drops and cuts. The path was long, but straight. :( (Love warhammer so much for it!)
Your too-da-loo is great it reminds me of summer holidays spent in England, great holidays and great memories.
That was excellent. You are a great storyteller.
Wish i can have that voice!
Nicely done job kind sir, keep up the good work!
Glad I found you, B. Gained a sub. Please keep up the awesome work.
First. Also can't wait to hear this.
Well done on the subscribers.
Yes I wasn't wrong. Amazing conclusions.
Well done mate.
Thank you skipper. :) Bit late, but I hope you can forgive that brother Carpenter. :)
Huh, yutube recommendations are being useful for once. Really great video and production! Lovely voice! *But now...how about papa guilliman?* :D
There's plenty out there about Big G. Plus he is getting Black Library action. He doesn't need me to weigh in. :)
Horus: " Bu... bu... why do you need a Council of Humans when you have Primarchs?"
Malcador: " Bitch you ain't nothing special."
Awesome video as allways, love your videos there just 💥
Thank you for your kindness, sister Grindean. :)
Uncle Malcador, the first true High Lord of Terra.
I wonder how old he was when he died. Was he alive during the golden/dark age of technology?
Malcadore understood that the masses were NOT intelligent. That they NEEDED an emperor. One that played the part but NEVER allowed himself to become consumed by it. He couldn't do it himself but his friend could. He cautioned his friend about the road he was going to take. That is was the path, most difficult. If he lost himself, mankind would rise up and overthrow him. You...cannot EVER educate the masses. Gently guide them and sacrifice them if needed. They will worship for it but only as long as you keep in mind that this is a performance. Follow this path and you'll help mankind as no other!
