During the conquest of Terra in the early 30K, the Emperor gathered his original men and assigned them appropriate tasks and responsibilities.
Most of these servants were selected from the nobles of Terra and the Imperial Guard, but Malcador was an exception, because he was not a warrior, but a scholar with an elegant temperament.
He has been at the Emperor's side since the early days of the Unification Wars, fighting alongside him and often displaying his astonishing psychic powers.
His origins are unknown except to those of the Emperor himself, and remain one of the Imperium's top secrets.
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 dressed simply.
When he entered the Emperor's service, 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. Respected and trusted by Cardor, he was given supreme power to speak and act on behalf of the Emperor wherever he went.
on the other hand,
Malcador was also an extremely powerful psyker, perhaps the second most powerful in the history of mankind after His Majesty the Emperor - his psychic powers allowed him to communicate even across interstellar distances.
Therefore, he also earned the nickname "The Mark", but some people point 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 Great Crusade was launched,
Malcador was eventually appointed regent of the Empire over the newly conquered Holy Terra.
As the Great Crusade progressed, Malcador grew in power and influence, becoming Imperial Governor and leader of the nascent Council of Terra and its associated 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. of 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 advanced technology of the Empire at first. society.
Malcador acted as Russ's partner and mentor, and the two developed 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, and his role is 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, his spiritual power was no match for that of the Emperor, and in just a few hours Malcador drained his body and soul.
Malcador's actions allowed the Emperor to escape to the Vengeful Spirit, the flagship of the Primarch Horus, over Terra, where he 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 his throne, his body instantly turned to ash, ending the legend's life.
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 single-handedly founded the Inquisition, the Council of High Lords, and the early Ecclesiarchy Order.
If we say, 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 issued 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 the disposal of the legions and the original body, it was all handled by Malcador.
Randall smiled, and like all his gestures, it was a contradictory gesture that betrayed pain and joy at the same time.
"Yes, that's why he was able to leave this 'back door'."
"Back door? What is it?"
Randall nodded.
"You'll know that's what you're here for."
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 what the other party said, Soshyan woke up from his meditation, then stood up, but still couldn't help but ask:
"where are we going?"
The other party paused.
"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.
"There's some lack of patience."
"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 know much about the Seal Holder, but he did understand a situation that most people didn't know much about.
Malcador is not his real name. The bearer of the Mark 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. Soshyan followed him into the darkness without thinking too much——
