Cypher: Lord of the Fallen (Warhammer 40,000) [Hardcover] French, John

Product Information

Cypher may be attempting to rewrite the history of the Dark Angels and Fallen. In M41 he turned himself in to the Inner Circle and with the help of the Watchers in the Dark managed to convince them to use Tuchulcha and its brother engines to open up a time rift over the ruins of Caliban ostensibly to prevent Astelan and Typhus from doing the same. The rift was ultimately destroyed by Azrael, creating the same warp storm that originally scattered the Fallen. After the battle, Cypher vanishes. [6] He weaves in and out of my vision – I see one who is many, I see they who will test the Unforgiven. In one hand he carries hope, in the other despair. I speak of Cypher. He is coming closer all the time." Told from Cypher's own, unreliable point of view, this tale of truth, lies, and secrets sees one of the Imperium's most mysterious figures make war at its very heart. But what are the true motivations of the Lord of the Fallen?

During the breaking storm, Cypher and his band of Fallen escape from the most secure prison in the Imperium. Now loose in the Imperial Palace, they are hunted by warriors of the Dark Angels, forces of the Adeptus Custodes and Imperial Assassins. But what are Cypher’s intentions? Can anything or anyone be trusted? Cypher, armed with his signature ancient master-crafted Plasma Pistol and Bolt Pistol, fighting off his relentless pursuers.Herakkon relays this somewhat to Cipher. Cipher knows he can zero the Custode at this state, because the Custode does not deny Cipher his destiny, he simply tells him: Not yet. During this entire time, Cypher and friends are chilling, being analyzed for all they know and are even thinking. We are introduced to the Doomscryer, another variant of Super Psyker the Imperium maintains. One that can walk in the footsteps of a Custodes and talk directly at elevated Assassins.

They whisper that it is Cypher's goal to reach Terra, to finally draw forth that sword for the first and last time, using the weapon to slay the Emperor, striking him down from his Golden Throne. For instance, there is the situation of a young man killed by falling debris, while honouring his dead father, who died in the same way, in the exact same spot, years ago. The book reveals later that both incidents were not coincidences but planned by the assassinorum. Rise of the Voice of the Emperor (995.M41) - This is the first recorded instance of the one known as "the Voice of the Emperor". A self-proclaimed oracle of the Emperor himself, this individual begins to broadcast across the Agripinaa Sector. On many planets, new cults rose up, answering his call to clash with Ministorum officials. Montage of Dark Angels plasma-grenading their dead to prevent identification, again, because apparently its only Progenoids that carry Space Marine identifying DNA... never mind the loadout selection absolutely screams DEATHWING plasma bullshit. There's this recurring Cypher maneuver in this book I would like to call the Cypher Drill. Unlike Mozambique Drill, which is two to the chest, one to the head, it does this. First Bolt Shot to interrupt someone/disarm. Second Bolt Shot to strip armor, typically a head shot. Rendered completely unnecessary by the third shot -from the Plasma Pistol coring the poor bastards noggin or hearts. Some self-congratulating internal monologue followthrough.Replacing Inquisitor Arnuldus to instigate the collapse of the Hive World of Septius VII [Needs Citation]

Cypher has slipped his bonds on Holy Terra itself. Hunted by some of the most powerful forces the Imperium can muster, can he complete his mission before he’s apprehended? Told from Cypher’s own, unreliable point of view, this tale of truth, lies and secrets sees one of the Imperium’s most mysterious figures make war at its very heart. But what are the true motivations of the Lord of the Fallen? A subreddit for the lore and stories encompassing the dark future of the Warhammer 40,000 franchise Although some of the Fallen had been mere novices-in-training at the destruction of Caliban, most were seasoned Space Marines. Indeed, some were first generation troops created in the First Founding, as overseen by the Emperor himself. These were veteran warriors, many of whom survived multiple actions during the Great Crusade. With their wealth of combat experience and superhuman attributes, these individuals found it easy to carve their own paths to greatness out in the wider galaxy. Some rose to rule over planetary empires while others sought immediate revenge against the Imperium. It can only be surmised by Cypher's abilities and combat prowess that he was a fully trained and already well seasoned Space Marine at the time of Caliban's destruction. This ties in with clues, which the Dark Angels would later discover, that allege Cypher was an important officer with a distinctive role in the Legion's traditions. He wears robes over his Power Armour in an attempt to hide himself, but this look has made him obvious. Perhaps this was the point, but he does seem to attract other members of the Fallen Angels to his side. It is unknown how they communicate and why they are drawn to him. [Needs Citation]It is obvious to those few Dark Angels Librarians who have studied the compiled data that Cypher's actions seem to follow some pattern or mission known only to himself. It is not even possible to deduce whether Cypher is for or against the Imperium, an ally or enemy to those who betrayed the Dark Angels. Cypher does not always work alone, at times seeming to ally or associate himself with others. His presence upon a planet draws dangerous elements to him from across the galaxy. Whether this is through his bidding is unclear, but it is too recurrent to be mere happenstance. Ultimately, no matter if he is surrounded by others: Cypher is a loner, a rogue agent whose true intentions are unknown to those he has served alongside. There are instances when it is difficult to understand whether the Unforgiven Chapters are hunting Cypher or if it is the other way around. It is a favoured tactic of Cypher to appear upon a battlefield involving the Sons of the Lion, materialising suddenly at moments so inopportune that it has proven impossible to apprehend him. Perhaps the most famous of these instances occurred during the final battle of the Red Stars campaign. In desperation to cut the head off a rising Ork WAAAGH! the entire Dark Angels Chapter was deployed en masse. It was their hope that the Deathwing could draw out and destroy the Ork Warboss Zogax da Great before the Space Marines were overwhelmed by the green tide. Alas, these hopes were dashed when Zogax's Meks deployed some sort of jamming device that prevented the Deathwing from teleporting down anywhere near the Warboss' vicinity. There Guilliman would have rotted away, had not Cypher, escorted by the Harlequin Shadowseer Sylandri Veilwalker, agreed to free Guilliman in return for his promise to allow the Fallen Angel an audience with the Emperor once they had reached Terra. What followed was the worst single incident of losses suffered by the Unforgiven since the Forgotten Wars. Less than a hundred Space Marines from an original contingent of a thousand managed to escape, and they did so only because they pursued Cypher, who, in his attempt to flee, also led them to a secret teleportation device.
