Horus

What i find most interesting about Horus from the warhammer series, is how beneath all of the power, mental stabability, and resolve put into a primarch is that he is still so human. Under all his glitz and glamour, strength and stamina, he was really just a man seeking acceptance from his father. The huge burden placed upon his sholders would have broken even the most mentaly stable man just by the shear weight of all the responsibility. Horus gave his all to try and follow in his fathers footsteps, "which were extreamly large seeing as though he basicaly retook the entire galaxy", but in the end was unable due to the weight of responsibility and the lack of guidence from the emperor. While im sure the emperor always had the utmost confidence in his sons abilities, the fact that he was so far away and unable to lend advice to his over worked under appreciated son, that horus finaly just broke. Slowly things started to unravle around Horus. And it didnt help that the forces of the warp were working against him, i feel that if the emperor would have been just a bit more helpfull to his son that the universe would not have been thrown to the wayside. He could have watched over him a little more, made sure that the beings of the warp stayed off his sons back, and to be a listening ear through the early years of his sons initiation to the rank of warmaster. The emperor did little more than say goodbye and put him in the drivers seat of a formula one dragster travaling at two hundred miles an hour and not so much as tell him how to control it.

Even in the face of all this diversity Horus put up a good fight and lasted around 200 years as warmaster. Conquring and or destroying alien filth, reuniting man kinds long lost family members, and occasionaly forcing compliance on some of the more wayward civilizations of humans who would not embrace the emperors secular beleifs. Horus should be given mor credit for the things he did because not only was it a hugely difficult and daunting task put in front of him but he did so well at it for so long....... to tired to think anymore i'll write more later.
