I've just finished listening to "Flight of the Eisenstein" having read it on its release and I can not stomach the pious prick. Not only is he duped by the hocus-pocus of the Imperial Creed and its "The Emperor Protects" malarkey but he has also turned his back on his battle brothers, Primarch and Legion.
What a self-righteous tool he is - obviously the character is modeled on Capt James T Kirk. In the audiobook he speaks in the same nauseating slow manner as the original Trekkie.
He really is a weak-willed individual who deals with change by closing his mind. I hate the pompous prat of a character he is.
belongs with an Unpopular-Opinion-Puffin meme.

ReplyDelete#YOLOswagger. Well played Nick.
DeleteGarro sucks because he's a carbon copy of Loken, it's hard to tell them apart. Maybe that's why they were in different legions, colour-coded so we could tell them apart.
ReplyDeleteWorst characters in the series? I think it's a toss up between Abaddon/Typhus (again, only their armour differentiates them) and the Emperor. Abaphus is just a 2-dimensional caricature, the only thing missing is a moustache to toy with as they tie a maiden to the train tracks. The Emperor is so unbelieveably dense it's hard to credit him as a mediocre human ruler, let alone this supernatural being with incredible powers.
And who can blame Garro for leaving the Death Guard and Mortarion the Sniffer. One bout of manflu and the whole legion sells their souls to Chaos. Harden up!
