	After the Emperor returned to Terra and set up the Council of Terra, the Emperor appointed Malcador to the position of First Lord of the Council (essentially the Prime Minister of the Imperium at that point, where the [[Horus\|Warmaster]] was the overall military commander), while the Emperor descended into the Imperial palace and set to work on gaining access to the [[Webway]]. Though he tried to be some kind of cool uncle/granddad to the Primarchs, most of them seem to have gotten jealous of his closeness to the Emperor; all of them made threatening displays of physical oomph in front of him, and at least two of them straight-up assaulted him, with Mortarion strangling him because muh psyker-hate and Lorgar backhanding him so hard he flew 20 meters somehow (65 Frickin' Feet!); in Lorgar's defense though, this was after Emps burned Monarchia for the crime of being religious. At the time, Mortarion was the most recent Primarch to be discovered, so we don't know if [[Jaghatai Khan]], [[Alpharius]] and the rest decided to lay the smackdown on grandpa. Suffice to say, the Emperor only had to deal with the Primarchs at their best on the weekend whereas Malcador had to deal with the behemoth brats for the rest of the week, meaning he got the shit end of the stick. Weirdly, the Primarch that had the best relationship with 'ol Malcy was shown to be [[Leman Russ]], who actually did treat him like a beloved old grandad that he could chill and play hrafnkel with.

	His reputation with the Primarchs, especially Horus and [[Alpharius#But_Wait.21\|"Alpharius"]], was not helped by the fact that it was him who ultimately made the decision to commit damnatio memoriae on the [[Primarch#Two_Missing_Primarchs_.7C_The_Forgotten_.26_The_Purged\|2nd and 11th]], this prompted Horus to confront Malcador about this, then proceeded to throw a pre-heresy [[Butthurt\|hissyfit]] so Malcador made sure to force choke him until he calmed his demihuman tits meanwhile [[Jaghatai Khan]] & [[Alpharius]] watched like children while their drunk dad beat their older brother. Which may have played a part in forming Horus' opinions on humans and not only their ability to, but what right they had, to self-govern.

	When the [[Horus Heresy]] broke out, Malcador worked closely but-not-always-that-closely with [[Rogal Dorn]] (there were [[skub\|some divergences of opinions]] between the loyal-to-the-point-of-naivety Dorn and the pragmatic-to-the-point-of-cynicism Malcador) in preparing the defenses of Terra and coordinating the logistics of the war effort, as well as overseeing a formation of special projects such as the [[Astronomican\|Adeptus Astronomican]] and, towards the end of the Horus Heresy, the [[Grey Knights]].

	His powers were strong enough to casually FORCECHOKE (well, he kinda prepped himself up for the confrontation, even went to pickup his power staff to help focus his powers) [[Horus]] almost to death, when the latter grew angry about one of the missing Primarch's legacies being erased and tries to say their name. Malcador says he can "unmake" Horus there and then, but relents when the Khan begs. Hard to tell if this was a bluff or not. This is before Horus gets blessed by Chaos, but it is still an incredible feat (especially considering that [[Forge World]] gave Horus ''Adamantium Will'' and a terminator armour that makes him near invulnerable to psychic powers regardless of the psykers' might), though Horus could resist to the point that it tired out the old man quite a lot. Also led to Horus being obsessed with Malcadors private history for a few decades, which he shared with the Khan before the Heresy.

	Though it has never been seen, he must have been one badass warrior too, since he was the Grand Master of the Assassins. Says something that he took a bone-crunching backhand from Lorgar on the chin. This, in addition to his above-mentioned prodigious psychic power, shows what sort of man Malcador was. With his power - and considering only a few Primarchs are psychic or have psychic defenses (actually they all had psychic potential but most didn't realise, or at least understand, their full potential) - he probably could've put Lorgar on a time out. On the moon. With his mind. Because Lorgar's powers hadn't come into their own yet, Malcador could've put him down for the count quite easily back then. It's also worth mentioning that he was more or less able to withstand the strain of the Golden Throne [[Awesome\|''all by himself'']] (and even managed to save some psychic strength for the Emperor) before he died, a feat which in the current era requires the strength of over a thousand trained psykers and the dead Emperor himself to pull off effectively. What a hero.		Though it has never been seen, he must have been one badass warrior too, since he was the Grand Master of the Assassins.

	'''Malcador the Sigillite''' (also known as Malcador the Hero or Malcador the Laundryman Of Teh Emprah or Malcador the Mammy) was Regent of Terra, Master of the [[Administratum]], first Grand Master of the [[Officio Assassinorum]], the founder of the [[Inquisition]], and all around bestest bud of the [[God-Emperor of Mankind\|Emperor of Mankind]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]].

	In some respects, Malcador represents something of the Emprah's final dream for mankind as well as something of the nightmare that the Imperium became. In every sense he is just a man. Not a super augmented warrior monk, just a clever old bugger. Like Big E, he understood that the Imperium needed taxes and administration as well as generals and he entrusted those duties to other normal humans. Perhaps because of his belief that humanity would not outgrow the Emperor's influence, many of the organisations he created lacked adequate oversight, and descended into corruption in the wake of the Horus Heresy. Even so, this was at least humans being [[dick]]s to each other not [[Primarch\|demigods]] lording it over the rest.

	It might be that he was doing more than just sacrificing his perpetual status so the Emperor could open his eyes slightly and slur out some orders like an alcoholic on a binge struggling to stay awake. The going fan-theory is that the Emperor might himself be a perpetual, but the message being sent by this revelation is that while the Emperor is indeed a perpetual himself as of the time he was interred to the Golden Throne, he wasn't always, and it took Malcador giving it to him at the expense of his own life to make it happen, which would make better sense considering that while ordinarily being turned into a rotting corpse means you're not a perpetual as they heal like [[fail\|Wolverine in X-Men 3]]. Except now Malcador has been given double perpetual status somehow, meaning he should still be alive regardless.

Except now Malcador has been given double perpetual status somehow, meaning he should still be alive regardless.

			In terms of Malcador's double Perpetual status we know from Vulkan lives that allegedly a sufficiently potent psykic force can overcome a perpetuals ability to regenerate and cause true death (see Fulgurite) making it likely that Magnus incinerating Malcador was a trauma of sufficient potency to strip Malcador of his ability to regenerate this needing Olivia' sacrifice to restore his status. Likewise this would explain true death on the Golden Throne. We also know from Saturnine that not all perpetuals are regenerators; Erda states as much when speaking to John Gramaticus that the ability to ressurect from death is rare amongst perpetuals thus why the Primarchs being perpetuals aren't all able to regenerate (yes Erda states this too, all Primarchs are created as perpetuals) this could explain Malcador's inability to ressurect himself following Magnus' temper tantrum.

	Malcador is dead. Very, very dead. During the Siege of Terra, the only chance that the Emperor could get to join the battle would be if someone took his place sitting on the Golden Throne, since [[Magnus]]'s interference broke it and threatened Terra with a new [[Eye of Terror]]. Malcador's psychic power meant he was the only potential candidate to do so while the Emperor fought off the [[Chaos Space Marines]]. However, since he was really not on the same psychic level as Big E, the process of painfully shutting the door in the daemon's faces each time they tried to open it burned him out (literally) in a matter of hours. He crumbled to dust after the Emperor was returned to the seat by Rogal Dorn and Jaghatai Khan. Keeping in mind that Malcador is a [[perpetual]], that's some pretty hardcore currents flowing through and goes even further to show how ridiculously OP the Emperor is. With his last ounce of strength, he allowed the Emperor to communicate with his mortal servants one last time. Truly, Malcador was an all around awesome bureaucrat and manipulator to the very end.

Malcador's psychic power meant he was the only potential candidate to do so while the Emperor fought off the [[Chaos Space Marines]]. However, since he was really not on the same psychic level as Big E and neither possessed his nearly divine physical abilities , the process of painfully shutting the door in the daemon's faces each time they tried to open it burned him out (literally) in a matter of hours. He crumbled to dust after the Emperor was returned to the seat by Rogal Dorn and Jaghatai Khan. Keeping in mind that Malcador is a [[perpetual]], that's some pretty hardcore currents flowing through and goes even further to show how ridiculously OP the Emperor is. With his last ounce of strength, he allowed the Emperor to communicate with his mortal servants one last time. Truly, Malcador was an all around awesome bureaucrat and manipulator to the very end.

	Though, the fact he disintegrated after being taken off of the golden throne sort of defies the claim made in ''The Last Council'' that he's a perpetual. One could argue that he sacrificed his perpetual power to marginally restore the Emperor back to consciousness, what can't be waived away is the fact that unlike any other perpetual, he's a decrepit old man by the time of the Horus Heresy, and it's known he used his psyker powers to mask his age whenever it suited him and he's been subject to rejuvenation treatments to extend his own life; both are things that shouldn't be necessary for a perpetual, impossible in the former's case ([[derp\|unless it happens he was faking being old this whole time]]). In an attempt to cure this bizarre inconsistency, ''Fury of Magnus'' tries to retcon the fact that Malcador was already established to be a perpetual after the [[Rangdan Xenocides]] concluded in ''The Last Council'' by having a perpetual named Olivia give it to him after he got barbecued by Magnus during the Siege on Terra, making her own sacrifice a total waste and utterly pointless. The very idea that he self-immolated on the atomic level just so the Emperor could speak without having to use his own psyker powers is made all the more monumentally stupid considering how much more good he could've done had he not, unless it happened there was no chance he could regenerate anyway and was just making some last ditch effort to save the Imperium before the inevitable... save for the fact he had another perpetual on tap just to pointlessly waste it on reviving himself from an unnecessary confrontation with Magnus instead of reserving it for when he's about to die on the Golden Throne or have Olivia give it to the Emperor after fighting Horus.

The very idea that he self-immolated on the atomic level just so the Emperor could speak without having to use his own psyker powers is made all the more monumentally stupid considering how much more good he could've done had he not, unless it happened there was no chance he could regenerate anyway and was just making some last ditch effort to save the Imperium before the inevitable... save for the fact he had another perpetual on tap just to pointlessly waste it on reviving himself from an unnecessary confrontation with Magnus instead of reserving it for when he's about to die on the Golden Throne or have Olivia give it to the Emperor after fighting Horus.

	In some respects, Malcador represents something of the Emprah's final dream for mankind as well as something of the nightmare that the Imperium became. In every sense he is just a man. Not a super augmented warrior monk, just a clever old bugger. Like Big E, he understood that the Imperium needed taxes and administration as well as generals and he entrusted those duties to other normal humans. Perhaps because of his belief that humanity would not outgrow the Emperor's influence, many of the organisations he created lacked adequate oversight, and descended into corruption in the wake of the Horus Heresy. Even so, this was at least humans being [[dick]]s to each other not [[Primarch\|demigods]] lording it over the rest.
