Just cause he's old, doesn't know Ol don't know how to make it work
Not sure how to segway that into a merch promo so ima just put this here : www.majorkill.shop/
damned mind reader i opened a tab on this dude yesterday cuz someone in thors stream said ollanius is a perpetual
I died laughing about the tower being chaos worshipers using anouncia cause YA of course lol which book is that from I wanna check it out.
Emperor: I hate religion!
Ollanius: I’m a devout Catholic.
Emperor: We’re best buds!
The thing is: he wasnt! his long dead wife was.
As a practicing Catholic with atheist friends, you might be surprised how often this happens
@@aaronc1942 agreed
Big E: "Really, a farmer? For a long-lived Perpetual and a man of many talents?"
Ollannius Pius: "It ain't much but it's honest work."
And he was a great man. The emperor, not so much.
Cincinnatus style.
@@princeofpokemon2934 You DARE insult the Emperor’s morality?! Heresy! HERESY!!!
*fires several bolter shots, misses every one, and hits a couple guardsmen instead*
… they were probably heretics, too!
should have told him to stand out of the sunlight like big E was told a long time ago by diogenes when wearing the alexander skinsuit
@@steveishere8808 missed me!
"Was he a good person?" You could say he was pius
PIOUS!!!
😂
Big E: "no more religion..except Pius, youre so cool!"
>Ignoring Emperor allowing Cult of Mechanicum to grow as he uses their techs to conquer more planets and star systems
>Ignoring Emperor tolerating the Runepriests of Fenris that pretty much became a sect of later Imperial Cult (and making Space Wolves so formidable that they gave Inquisition so many regrets during "Month of Shame")
>Ignoring Emperor tolerating the denizens of Ba'al to venerate Sanguinius (though only to limited degree)
It's already clear that Emperor's last surviving contingency plan is to frame future growing Imperial Cult within Imperium to specific sects and cults from the carcass of secularistic imperial truth doctrines, also Games Workshop's Black Library authors still haven't explained how Power of Faith are different from any Warpcraft (Chaos or non-Chaos based) that even both Necron Pylons and Great Rift opened by Chaos factions doesn't affected it's psychic prowess
Big E in a Mr. Krabs voice: “Everybody out! Except you, you can stay.”
Ollanius Pius: *happy clown noises
@@jkee9760 I wonder how things would be if the emperor was a bit more lenient and a lot more benevolent
@@princeofpokemon2934 In the original canon he was, and it led to him being completely oblivious to the fact that his sons would betray him. They ruined the Emperor by making him arrogant, foolhardy and self-important, when the original lore was that he loved humanity to a fault, got obliterated by those he cared for most and was forced to slay his chosen son. GW is on a kick of god awful writing and retcons though, so maybe it's temporary.
Just for context: Pius lived for thousands of years before Jesus was born, and survived for 30 thousand years after Jesus' death.
Yet this dude, who himself was essentially a demigod, truly believed that Jesus, a guy that lived for less than half a century, was the messiah and the son of the one true god. Weirder still, Ollanus specifically believed in the righteousness of the Catholic church, an institution he both predated and survived. To have such faith to hold on to your exact beliefs, unchanged, for literal MILLENIA, is honestly super impressive.
wasn't this wife catholic and not him? iirc he only wears the cross because it's his wife's
@@TriangulumGalaxy_1 I believe Pius wasn't didn't personally practice. But kept practicing the faith to keep the memory of his wife alive during his many thousands of years alone without her, waiting for day they may reunite.
Just sounds like an immortal dumbass imo
Honestly in 40k that would put some weight behind Catholicism, like the guy born before Jesus decided that that specific sect was the right one? that says something.
I wonder if he ever met jesus though.
One of my favourite bits from TEatD Vol III was Ollanius trying to talk sense into the Emperor about the whole DK thing and has to talk through the smoldering Custodes, it took a buddy from 40,000 years ago to crack it into his skull that melting his banana boys whilst gathering as much Warp energy as possible wasn't one of the E's great ideas lol
It's funny that banana boys/Custodes being completely revisioned into "gender-inclusive" (except no Brother/Meister of Silence ofc, because lying about "equality" is great) happens by several months after Warhammer Horus Heresy/30K novel series ended (and all of the novels considered Custodes to be all-boys)
Wat @@ohamatchhams
@@ohamatchhamsShut up, that has nothing to do with the original comment.
😂yeah, you're right. But atleast it made you(sissy boy) Rage comment....lol. @mrsmint43
Imagine if Ollanius and the Emperor stayed in touch and he had occasionally visited his humble farmer friend to stay grounded. Primarch would have gotten Uncle Olly and would have gotten drop on his farm to experience human life for a decade or two
And that would have been better how? It would do the opposite of grounding the emperor. It would further reinforce the idea that mankind should not be trusted with its own fate. Olly was the perfect example of giving up. Nothing else.
He was pathetic. As the emperor told him, he had lived of countless millennia and he had nothing to show for it.
It would disgust the primearchs. Even the nicer ones, knowing how old olly was and how little he had to show for it.
@62sy and this is exactly why tge imperium is messed up
@@62sy And what Emperor achieved with his myriads of years of scheming and god like power? Nothing that he wanted, humanity barely survives. Ollanius achieved all he set out to achieve and the fact he kept fighting tells you he never gave up, just worked on smaller scale. (To be fair he was an example of how doing the opposite the Emperor did, small scale stuff, isn’t enough.) For primarchs to have both opinions visible through out the crusade would have been beneficial, as those that had a human perceptive arguable turned out the best. (Corvus, Dorn, Guilliman, Jaghatai and Vulcan.)
@@62syOl lived a short life on Calth of what they were fighting for in the first place. Peace.
@@scientistsupreme5211 it’s messed up because there’s a malevolent force trying to enslave it. Not because of the emperor.
Human perspective? What a joke. No primearch went “I’ll sit this one out”. They fought because they believed in the emperor’s dream. They would have been disgusted by the likes of Olly… who GAVE UP.
Who chose to do nothing when he had the chance to do something. That’s why Gulluiman, Corax and Vulkan were willing to commit genocide numerous times and go against their beliefs. Because they would rather do something then let mankind burn itself out.
No primearch would even hear him out… and most would kill him on the spot.
“Where I fall, ten more shall take my place! And one hundred each of them! So strike me down! I am the Harbinger!”
-Ollanius’ last words to Horus
Finally glad to see Ollanius get the love he deserves
Just when i thought warhammer lore couldn't get more crazier and batshit insane i get stuff like this
I preferred when the last guardsmen wasn’t a perpetual with lore. Just a man with balls of Ceramite reinforced Plasteel that wanted to save his Emperor
PVT Bart Johnson, from Correander 6, likes corpse starch and homemade toilet wine. Literally ran through the Saturnine gates. Somehow ended up in the teleporter room on a fluke. Lands on Vengeful Spirit wonders around lost in Warp fuckery then boom, "Is that the fucking emperor, IS THAT FUCKING HUROS?"
He's a fat guy so his nickname is "Big"
He technically is still a guardsman with balls. Half of the legend is about a guardsman who stared down daemon Prince Angron and stood his ground while shooting him and giving a war cry.
Unfortunately it wouldn't make any sense to bring a normal human on the Vengeful Spirit at that time due to it being basically hell. If Oll was a regular joe he would die instantly
@Ozzy08018 Doesn't give the same punch compared to a single guardsman staring down Horus himself. Basically living proof to the Emperor that what he fights for isn't for nothing. That if a single human can stare down all four Chaos Gods and not even flinch gives hope to even the Master of Mankind and all the guardsman that come after
Dan Abnett: The guy who saved the Emperor? He was actually an even older guy who fought Babylon, Napoleon and Saddam Hussein.
Psychiatrist: I think he needs an extra jolt.
It's not necessarily that Oll was allowed to retire because of exceptional conduct (although obviously he was a pretty capable soldier, since he'd been that so many times before) or that he had the Emperor's favour. In Know No Fear, it pretty much states that you could sign up with the Army for a 20-odd year tour. And for that he got service shares. And he chose to spend them on getting land on Calth, because if you went for one of the 'new' worlds in Ultramar they paid your passage. All very ordinary, just as he wanted.
Sounds similar to our own old millitaries. In ancient Rome after you finished your millitary contract you'd recieve a large monetary boon or a piece of newly conquered land for farming
RIP Last Catholic, made us all proud +30,000 in the past.
He is not the last. I Read somewhere of a leutenant introducing himself as a "catheric by faith" to two space marines.
No love for Orthodoxy in media smh
Or Gnostic Christian since it’s stated as “Cathar” (a French Christian group in medieval who had gnostic teachings and persecuted by it).
That or linguistic drift jumbling Catholic with Catheric.
@@powerist209 imma go with the ladder on that one i dont think the writers are really keen on theological and historical christian subjects let alone i dont think they woukd choose such a small movement of people from history to represent all christianity in 40k , i could be wrong tho
@@tuff9486 Sh, the Imperial Inquisition doesn’t need to know this.
Imagine this:
Ollanius Persson was just chilling in his home, setting up a farm during his stay on Calth. One day, while wandering a city to pass the time, he comes across a healthy-looking young boy with dark brown skin, who seems to have lost his parents somewhere in the metropolis. Ollanius, out of pity, decides to help the boy, who seems quite infatuated with the Ultramarines stationed there (the boy is probably distracted by how cool the Ultrasmurfs were that he lost track of this parents)
After hours of exploring, the boy's parents were found, and the family was reunited. Before leaving, however, Ollanius gave the dark-skinned boy a piece of bread to eat, and then, left without a word.
That boy is Chairon.
Nice one
Bruh...that would explained his hatred to traitors.
Even it makes no sense for a black man to live in Space Romans world.
So an apocalyptic trio of a shirtless, headband wearing emperor, explosives expert Malcador, and a camouflaged knife-weilding Ollanius fighting the Men of Iron as John Connors most trusted loose canons is officially canon.
What if Ollaniua got reincarnated into Sly Marbo with massive inherited trauma?
Bro had balls massive enough to make even the emperor say 'oh my god"
"In the name of the father the son and the holy FUS RO DAH -Ollanius at the Tower of babble and against Horus...probably...
Real reason why the Perpetuals left the Man-Emperor of Mankind and oppose Him: *they get sick of His constant pop culture references and memes and they can't take it anymore.*
Bring Back Timmy. Video 122!
He's not coming back lol
@@enovos3138 That is my fear!
RIP to the last Catholic. Sacrificing himself to make up for the sins of those he loved, and inspiring them from going down into the darkness and instead choose the light. Very Christ-like indeed.
"All knowledge to have use. And that he would be immune to it's effects". So that's where Magnus got that from.
Exactly
What If Sanguinis came back during the devastation of Baal.
He did (sorta), his soul spoke to Dante, encouraging him to continue living as he wasn't allowed to die just yet.
@@lachlanmacrae1779big vampire man soul is probably out there somewhere sure his body might be destroyed but big vampire man soul should live on
Kaband'ha would have loved that.
Rip to the last Catholic. Keeping the religion alive until the end.
THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES 6 TO G0!!!!
Attempt number 97: what if the Primarchs were found in order of their creation.
Join me my brothers!!!
Best Lore video I have seen in awhile. Thank you MajorKill.
I love Ollanius and Malcador so much. Friends the Emperor doesn't deserve but has them anyway.
Chad music.
I absolutely love this guy. He's absolutely amazing.
What if the Emperor wasn’t able to reach Nuceria in time to prevent Angron dying from the High Riders? How would having one less available Primarch affect the heresy with more lopsided sides? What would happen to the War Hounds? What would happen to Nuceria? Who do you think would go to Khorne?
Uncle Pius is literally Jake the Mus from Once were warriors. 💪
40k Humor, to name the oldest person in the setting OL. Person.
Immediately got the LED sign that’s actually amazing.
Misnaming Oll as John was a hell of a throwback to the retired John Wick comment
Majorkill you are my favorite TH-camr pls dont talk to any minors
I would happily fund a patreon specifically for Majorkill to bone pro escorts just to ensure he never has to be "confused" about anyones age!!!!
Now we need a major mini of Ollanus Pius!!!
Shame that in The End and The Death he is not Catholic it said the the Cross belongs to his wife who is Catholic he does not believe in God but finds comfort in the rites, the teachings and values particularly Kindness something reviled in 40K and even in 30K Imperium. Its his last memory of her and that it reminds him that he was born on an epoch that believes in the divine something that's hardwired into him and ironically saw that the Emperor is slowly being seen as a God by the common populace.
Still it would have been nice that he was religious since he is sort of the direct opposite of the Emperor. Makes me think that instead of being this Golden Superhuman the Emperor should have opted a more regular human look and in regular human-sized power armour gold and all if wants but still the regular size of a human not this Shining Golden Giant.
I remember following you on my original TH-cam channel when you were at 40k. Crazy to find your page again and you’re at 600k
Thanks mate. Been waiting for this video since the channel started
I hope Horus stays dead and never returns. It looked like GW opened a path for Horus return. I loved old lore that said Emperor destroyed Horus's soul completely from warp. If they bring Horus back, the perpetuals must return too.
Idea for another video. If the Emperor had succeeded in building The Webway, would Humanity have actually done away with its more barbaric practices (ex. Turning people into servitors)?
Is is the emperors hubris but his hubris in believing his sons could resist chaos
BASED Christian Goat ✝️🗿

@@grumpymonk2460 Christian is a blanket term for a follower of Christ, Catholicism is a denomination within Christendom
@@grumpymonk2460your after this comment be like:🤡
@@grumpymonk2460 Catholics are the original and main branch of Christianity
@@grumpymonk2460doesn't matter your comment is litterally pointless
Fuck me Peq knows John Gramaticus from the book Legion in the Horus Heresy. Where John was trying to get the Alfa legion to meet with the Cabal.
a humble soldier. a guardian. a friend. to the very end. not that mighty, but honest.
This means Christianity is canon. Nice 👍
Yeah man wh40k takes place in our timeline
And died forever in M31. The last catholic died in Horus ship so, a thing from the past. Bizarre is, Nordic Mythology still strong on Fenris.
@@lucerojunior6644 That's because it's implied that some REALLY hardcore LARPers had Fenris engineered to be that way. Some of the native wildlife has human DNA ..
this is the earliest I've ever been. love the show, Major keep it up
Here are some for possible consideration:
What if every Astartes Legion staged a coup on the Emperor and took over the Imperium? How would they rule it and how successful would it be, compared to the canon Imperium? (this is all legions on the same side with minimal Chaos influence on events)
What if 2 Primarchs held the Warmaster position cooperatively, under the assumption that those who would take issue at one Warmaster would respect the other one more and they could thus overall be more productive?
Which nonhuman species would be the best fit for Chaos to take over and attain galactic dominance?
If any one Loyalist and Traitor Primarch switched sides for the Horus Heresy, who would you choose for the best outcome for either the Loyalists, or the Traitors?
What if the Silent King never got rid of his Command Protocols and took (almost) all the Necrons with him out of the galaxy to perhaps find a new and better one and come across the Tyranids?
What if the Great Crusade had all the Primarchs and none turned Traitor, but there were no Astartes?
What if the Beast Orks succeeded in defeating the Imperium?
What if the Raptor Project succeeded/was never sabotaged?
How would each Heresy/Crusade-era Primarch and Legion fare against the modern Tau Empire?
What if one of the Primarchs landed on a xenos world and was raised by them?
What if the Eldar managed to kill Angron before he was enslaved?
What if another power rose to power during M31 instead of the Imperium, such as the Ullanor Orks, the Rangdan, or the Necrons via the Silent King returning early?
What if the Beast Orks grew to threaten the Imperium before the Heresy could happen?
What if the Tyranids arrived in M31, before the Heresy could happen?
For the chaos question, it would be Orks for Khorne.
No further!’ he yells. ‘Damn you! I won’t let you touch Him!’ - Ollanius “Ceramite balls” Pius
Ollanius when the heresy started : get my holy water we going to kill the devil
Thank youuuuu, just finished the End and the Death books and I wanted more of him.
Dude brings that "get off my lawn" energy to new levels.
Let's GOOOOOO! OL-P Video!!!!
Ollanus and Malcador were the the true hands of the Emperor. Both his friends, both were there when the Big E needed them the most. Ollanus being stubborn, but for a reason and Malcador being shady, but also for a reason IS exactly what was needed. Now its the Emperor's turn not to make their sacrifices in vein.
There needs to be more novels from named guardsman perspectives.
Saving even Custodes and their sacrifices making even them unfeeling bastards understand the emperors dreams better.
Could you do a salamanders or white scars shirt majorkill?
A video about, what if there were no loyalist elements in the traitor legions ,this would also count for omegon and magnus. So there would be no need for the culling at isthvaan and weakening of the traitor forces.. this would be very intresting to see what all the effects would be on the succes of the heresy.
I am glad to say I am never disappointed when it comes to warhammer.
I wonder how he felt when the thought that jesus was most likely big e disguised crossed his mind
Ollianus in 2024, after finding this video about him.
"What the fuck?"
I totally dig the know no fear and the mechanicus one.
I'm curious what would have happened if the perpetuals never left the emperor.
The good ending
Got a little choked up by the end of today video. Really good retelling.
With Oll being at 73 Easting, there's a good chance I've met him.
3:20 vulkan lives
I bet he's not even dead, he was reborn in some place like Ultramar and he's still farming and laying low, in case he's ever needed again.
I honestly like the old version where it was just a regular guardsman that stood against horus. I don't like how in 40K seemingly every important character is this super special person and regular people's only role in the plot is to be the weapon of the super special people.
I agree. He was supposed to be the ultimate saint for guardsman. The legend they tell shows that even a normal human can stare down and defy all the evil that this galaxy can produce. Not a super human, not an immortal, and some reincarnation of some hubiwhatsit. He is just a normal man with a normal gun and the biggest balls that humanity alone can produce.
the bromance betwen Ol and the emperor is so extreme they made it a romance novel
He finally got a video! Lets gooooooooo!
I don't know about you, but I've got a goosebumps from the last tree minutes of video! So epic!
Please make a video about Tau Navy and their battle, @MajorKill. The Exodite mini show got me interested in that topic.
This could maybe be made well in a live-action story with cavil
I hope he comes back in Warhammer 40k somehow.
ngl ive been waiting since timmy was a character here for this video
Within the first hour damn im runnin through these videos
Lore on the imperial navy, ecclesiarchy, and mutants
You need to do a video on Eisenhorns agents. Also Patience Kys would be fkn awesome as a cosplay
Bruh I was looking for more info on olly and u dropped a video at the same time
alpha legion during the siege of terra: we going to help and fuck evryone at the same time
I like to think that the Big E understood that he needed people like Ollanius around him to keep him grounded. It's hard, when you're one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy, to keep yourself in check and avoid letting all that infinite power going to your head.
I thought that was a really nice touch to the story of the Emperor fighting Horus, reminding us that the God Emperor really was just an extremely powerful human man, with flaws and weaknesses. The emperor gets shit on a lot as this big blundering moron who's arrogance fucks the galaxy, but I think people miss how painfully aware the Emperor was of his flaws and weaknesses.
All the people he respected, relied on and loved, abandoned him, aside from Malcador, and as a result he was kind of forced to rely on the leftovers, making due with people he knew couldn't keep up with him or even begin to understand his ideas or strategies. With this in mind, it kind of makes sense why he failed with his Primarchs. He kept them at arms length because he knew he couldn't truly rely on them yet, and that they wouldn't be able to protect the Emperor from himself. On the contrary, the Primarchs might very well have made him more vulnerable.
This explains why it made him so angry and why he was so opposed to the people of the Imperium worshipping him as their god, despite the fact that he was, for all intents and purposes, the God of humanity. He knew it might go to his head and he knew what the potential consequences were. The Primarchs generally worshipped him anyways, each in their own way, whether as a father or a master or a God. At least this is what I got out of reading into Ollanius and his relationship with the big man.
Was hoping he’d make the list for a video
Very cool character
His origin in Nineveh (nin-uh-vuh) is actually very interesting due to the city's role in the Old Testament. Nineveh was a place that, while a great city, reeked of wickedness and evil and thus God was going to destroy it. He sent a man to go preach that it would be destroyed, but unlike many biblical places like it, Nineveh actually repented and cast off their wickedness after being shown what was right and what was wrong. Redemption I feel like is a big theme in the world of 40k and maybe someone smarter than me can write something up about how Ollanius echoes Jonah's role in making it so Nineveh could realise what was wrong and making the choice to repent and do good rather than continue in wickedness.
Am I the only one wanting a "For the Emperor" T-shirt too? apart from the singlet and hoodie.
this theory about enuncia, it is possible, the option for it exists out there for a fact (producing the sounds however might not sound like words tho)
Best bit, he was Christian yet also older than Christ
A deep dive in the Dreadwing please.
I’d love to get a shirt, but because I worked in a cold factory, short sleeves is a no no.
Loving the episode but I have to stop because I haven’t finished reading the siege of terra books and you just got to where I’m at
I hope you make it to that Big 1 mil subs majorkill you deserve it bro. My favorite Warhammer content creator . And just a cool dude who loves nerdy shit 💪
So what you're saying is they were lowkey kissing homies and when he died, the emperor turned into a sedentary emo who never leaves his room
Ummm, the Emperor, being created in 25,000 BC, he is ~65,000 years old as of 40k. Pius would be younger than the Emperor.
Emperor was born 8-10k BC. Not 25k. Unless they changed the lore
They should make a novel "The Last Catholic" instead of 300 pages of a whining man-child like in in the First Heretic, it's about a absolute gigachad kicking ass across 40000+ plus years.
Ollanius liked war… because he was human. And, as ANY of us know, humans LOVE a good fight. Especially if it’s for a morally just cause.
Al might still be around BL books have hinted at it. Wouldn’t be surprised if a named guardsman wasn’t Al
ollanius persson is the only one in the 40k universe that can OUT-PROTAG the emperor
When he says merch should be gone by Friday but you get paid Friday. 😢
