===Lorgar===
Chaos Undivided. Arch-Traitor. What does he do different form Horus as Heresiarch? Less Primarch, but zeal gives him more Daemons, allowing him to pull off the Drop Site Massacre, but this doesn't compensate for the legions that didn't flip, which is why the Lorgar Letdown lost far more decisively than the Horus Heresy.

Here's an idea. While his original Letdown was for the most part a political revolt because of the abuse he suffered at the hands of Father, bolstered by the other traitors who each had their own petty reasons for lashing out, in the aftermath the Emperor, in his extremely weak and almost nonverbal state, did council with his sons and the High Lords of Terra, whereupon they miraculously convinced him that for the good of the Imperium, the Imperial Cult should be allowed to form (though certainly not allowed to run rampant and take control) in order to give the massive populace of the Imperium a solid hope that things were not going to get worse, and that the God-Emperor would be there for them as the pinnacle of Man with His holy sons, the Primarchs, acting in His stead as He recovered from the attack of the unholy enemies of Man...

As he and the traitors fled to the Eye Of Terror, the bickering already starting and Erebus snarling like the nasty little rodent he is, Lorgar felt strength leave him and he looked back at the brothers he was leaving behind and the Father he had only ever wanted the love of, and saw the two-faced old coot ''ACCEPTING'' a religion surrounding himself now. Lorgar is said to have descended into a despairing, wailing fit, clawing at his own face as outrage and misery overcame him, and his bare head still retains the ugly gouge scars from his own fingers raking across his scalp to this day. He "recovered" from this epic emotional breakdown as the heretical traitors vanished into the Eye Of Terror, and soon re-emerged from the care of his Word Bearers a stoic, dedicated, ''angry'' man absolutely hellbent on preaching the glory and destined power of the "better" Gods, the Chaos Gods, in utter spite of the Emperor's failures, cruelties and overall hypocrisy.

Lorgar has lost absolutely all faith in his Father and is just as incensed at his Loyalist brothers for being somehow allowed to suggest that the Emperor was divine while Lorgar himself was punished for it. The Corpse-Emperor's precious Imperium Of Man will be consumed by Chaos, and Lorgar will be there to watch Father's hope die.
