==Why this is bullshit today== First, eldar & human hybrids are extremely unlikely; despite possibly [[Xenology|sharing a common ancestor]], the two species are probably so far apart that offspring are not viable, especially since according to Xenology, Eldar DNA contains considerably more base pairs ''(which are used to determine amino acid structures)'' than humans do, and their DNA contains more helices (and therefore binds to itself differently). Not to mention whether or not they have the same number of chromosomes, and Eldar reproduction to create a zygote involves roughly five different stages, so either the woman [[Slaanesh|gets it on with several other partners]] and makes a mixed baby OR the male partner [[Love Can Bloom|tries over and over again to make it work]]. So basically one-night-stand pregnancies are out of the question... Unless human sperm is more manly than the Eldar's, which is pretty obvious. *[[Genestealers]] can create hybrids, albeit parasitically and using [[tyranid]] shenanigans, so there is ''some'' limit to how different their DNA is, but that's a special case. Then again, Genestealers can infect ORKS, so it's not conclusive evidence. Secondly, any such offspring would be considered an abomination under Imperial Law and by the [[Ecclesiarchy]], and would be put to death. Oh, speaking of, did we mention that he was born on Badab during the Badab War? And thus likely didn't actually have much contact with Imperial Law or the Ecclesiarchy: [[Lugft Huron]] was a political secessionist at that time (not the raving chaos lunatic that he would later become). So any official sanction of a Human-Eldar hybrid would be extremely unlikely, and if it ''were'' sanctioned, would have been killed when the Carcharadons blew up the planet. Thirdly, do you really think they'd let a human-eldar hybrid all the way back to Terra and be soul-bound to the Emperor? I mean COME ON?! THEN let him rise all the way up the ranks to become an advisor to the Adeptus Astra Telepathica? Fourth, the [[Dark Angels]] in the older lore were constantly mentioned as having proclivities for disdaining mutants and abhumans, meaning if they knew about him [[Blam|they'd have something to say about his continued existence]]. The Dark Angels have mostly moved past those explicit prejudices in the fluff, and association with [[Watchers in the Dark|odd psychic creatures]] is probably something they [[Fallen Angels|don't want to be drawing attention to]]. After all this... holding the rank of Chief [[Librarian]] means he'd have authority over the Librarium and therefore other space marines. Though in the days when the article was written the Ultramarines were pretty cool about having non-Astartes throughout the ranks. The article ''did'' actually explain the organisation of the Librarium as being a mixture of non-Marine Astropaths and Marine psykers, so because Nastase was explicitly ''<u>not</u>'' a Space Marine this is one saving grace for the whole article. And that's not even getting into the views of the eldar on human/eldar offspring. While GW hasn't fleshed out the Eldar as much as their precious Imperium, considering how most eldar consider humans to be no better than monkeys, they'd probably view having sex with a human as [[FATAL|bestiality]]. Of course that doesn't stop [[Dark Eldar|some people]], but even the Dark Eldar would still oppose it as [[/pol/|sullying their "superior" genes by mingling with a "lesser race"]]. Not so much bs today with the new happy feely Eldar smurf love Robbie now has. Who knows, in a few years the [[Matt Ward|Spiritual Liege]] may retcon Nastase into becoming Roboute's and [[Yvraine]]'s [[Extra Heresy|lovechild]]. You may now retch at the idea. Or just plain giggle at the prospect of such ''delectable'' HERESY. *'''007021.M02:''' In a surprise that no one in their right mind saw coming, Nastase returns in "Dawn of Fire: The Gate of Bones." This time as a Farseer of Ulthwe and a herald of Eldrad to Guilliman. He also appears again as an advisor for Guilliman in "Godblight." While he's just about at his limit from interacting with humans for a long time, he's grudgingly assisting Guilliman's forces in fighting Chaos. He also got some amusement from debating the nature of God-hood and faith in contrast to psychic sorcery with Roboute Guilliman. ===Conclusion=== [[File:Illyian Nastase minature.jpg|300px|thumbnail|right|Now in miniature version.]] But, knowing 40K and GW, this is unlikely to be canon, especially since [[Varro Tigurius]] is the [[Librarian|Chief Librarian]] during the dates that Nastase supposedly also holds the same rank, but on the other hand isn't an astropath whereas Nastase is. Also, in the same article, the Ultramarines of Macragge were said to be a chapter of the THIRD FOUNDING raised to replace the [[Ultramarines|13th Legion]] [[Who_Watches_Them|who had turned traitor]] and fled to the Eye of Terror, and this new chapter received all of the paraphernalia of the old legion. '''ULTIMATE HERESY''' {{BLAM}} On the other hand, didn't they explicitly state that all official fluff is debatable and subjective, often portraying [[Ultramarines|whoever are the heroes]] to their favour? Love might just be able to bloom anyway. {{BLAM|NOOOOOOOOO NO NOOOOO. *BLAM**BLAM**BLAM**BLAM* HERESY!!!}} [[Space Wolves|RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]
