During the conquest of Terra in the early 30K, the Emperor gathered his original followers and assigned them appropriate tasks and responsibilities.
Most of these servants were selected from the Terran nobles and the Imperial Army, but Malcador was an exception, because he was not a warrior, but a scholar with an elegant temperament.
Since the early days of the Unification War, he has been at the Emperor's side, fighting alongside him, and often demonstrating his astonishing psychic powers.
His origins are unknown except to those of the Emperor himself, and are one of the highest secrets of the Imperium.
Ever since he appeared in people's sight, he has been called Malcador.
Malcador had known the Emperor since he was still a Terran warlord,
At that time, Malcador was just a hermit wearing simple clothes.
When he entered the service of the Emperor, Malcador was said to be over 6,000 years old. His memory was so powerful that he could even remember the date of his birth. The title given to him by the Emperor was "Palmbearer", which represented the Emperor's influence on horses.
With Cardo's respect and trust, he was given supreme power to speak and act on behalf of the Emperor wherever he went.
On the other hand, Malcador is also an extremely powerful psyker, perhaps the second most powerful in the history of mankind after His Majesty the Emperor - his psychic powers can even communicate across interstellar distances.
Therefore, he also earned the nickname "Magic Mark", but some people pointed out that this nickname appeared before Malcador met the Emperor.
Due to his unusual longevity, there are various rumors about this mysterious figure, but regardless of the truth, Malcador has always been considered a man of great wisdom.
He was held in special regard by the Emperor, and as his advisor earned a position alongside the Primarch.
After the launch of the Great Crusade, Malcador was eventually appointed regent of the Empire, overseeing the newly conquered Holy Terra.
As the Great Crusade progressed, Malcador's power and influence grew, and he became the Imperial Governor and leader of the nascent Council of Terra and its related governing bodies.
As the Primarchs were recovered one by one, the Emperor found his energies increasingly consumed by day-to-day administration, and Malcador was left on Terra to oversee the rapidly expanding Empire.
all bureaucratic matters.
During this period, Malcador was accompanied by Leman Russ, the original body of the Space Wolves Legion. Russ was a native of the world of Fenris. Due to his upbringing, Russ had difficulty adapting to the technological advancement of the Empire at first.
society.
Malcador acted as Russ's partner and mentor, and the two established a friendship to a certain extent.
During the Empire's greatest glory, Malcador's opinions were as powerful as law to many within the Empire, and his insights aided many of the galaxy's greatest heroes.
He himself has great respect for human history and has a broad knowledge base in this area. In fact, he has experienced a lot of history himself.
He sees himself as humanity's link to the golden age of the past, his role being to remind the Emperor why other human empires fell and what humanity has been through over the millennia.
Finally, during the Horus Heresy and the climax of the Battle of Terra, Malcador willingly sat on the Golden Throne for the Emperor and used his psychic powers to block the raging subspace wave under the Golden Throne. The Lord of Mankind understood that
Cardo's sacrifice meant something, so the Lord of Mankind declared that he would forever be known as "The Hero Malcador".
But isolating Chaos from the Golden Throne is also a difficult task for Malcador, who has lived for thousands of years. Although he may be the psyker second only to Magnus, Malcador
Malcador was still just a mortal, and his mental power was incomparable to that of the Emperor. In just a few hours, Malcador exhausted his body and soul.
Malcador's actions allowed the Emperor to escape to the Vengeful Spirit, the flagship of the Primarch Horus, above Terra, where the Emperor was ultimately mortally wounded and defeated the traitor Horus.
As the seriously injured Emperor was returned to the palace, the dying Malcador used his last psychic powers to awaken the seriously injured Emperor.
When Malcador was removed from the throne, his body instantly turned to ashes, and the legend's life ended.
It is worth mentioning that Malcador was not only the Prime Minister of the Empire and the Regent of Terra, he was also the first Lord Grand Master of the Chamber of Assassins, and he single-handedly founded the Inquisition, the Council of High Lords, and the Early Ecclesiastical Order.
If we say that Robert Guilliman defines the Astartes ten thousand years from now.
Then Malcador will decide the empire ten thousand years from now.
"It's that one——"
Soshyan was surprised to hear that it was related to such a well-known legend.
"But wasn't he also involved in erasing the Legion?"
Soshyan remembered clearly that Brother Said said that although the order to obliterate the Legion was given by the Emperor, the plans and plans were drawn up by the Seal Master.
Including arranging several legions to intercept and kill, as well as handling the legions and the original body, it was all handled by Malcador.
Randall smiled. Like all his gestures, it was a contradictory gesture, showing pain and joy at the same time.
"Yes, that's why he was able to leave this 'back door'."
"Backdoor? What is it?"
Randall nodded.
"You will know that this is exactly why you are here."
As he said that, he stood up and picked up an eagle scepter on the wall - this scepter was golden in color and simple in shape. It looked like a short staff in Randall's hand, but in the hands of a mortal
, that is a long staff.
Suoshiyang seemed to have seen this scepter in a trance.
"follow me."
Hearing the other party's words, Soshyan woke up from his meditation, then stood up, but still couldn't help but ask:
"where are we going?"
The other party paused for a moment.
"Go to where it all started and hurry up, we have a long way to go."
"Then I need to tell the people outside, otherwise they-"
Thinking of Talos, Soshyan shook his head.
"Somewhat impatient."
"certainly."
Afterwards, Soshyan left the room and met Talos waiting outside the corridor, telling him that he might need more time.
Talos was unexpectedly alert, telling Soshyan not to trust others so easily.
Soshyan said he could rest assured, and then asked about the Seal Holder. Although Talos was strange, he told Soshyan everything he knew.
Strictly speaking, Talos didn't understand the Seal Holder, but he did understand a situation that most people didn't understand very well.
Malcador is not his real name. The bearer of the seal actually has another name, but only a few people know it, including the Emperor and Warmaster Horus.
After sinking this information into his mind, Soshyan said goodbye to Talos and returned to his room.
Randall had already opened a secret door on the wall of the room. Without thinking too much, Soshyan followed him into the darkness——
