i find it interesting how no one thinks about Xenos influence or the possibility that one of them was of strong enough will to reject the Emperor outright. the "neverfound" could have been found and summarily executed because there was no way to convince him to join the Imperium. or worse yet, maybe he committed suicide. think of the effects on the legion in either of those two cases. morale would be impossible to restore.

as for Xenos, maybe one primarch was roped into saving Xenos that could actually help the Imperium. -someone- had to vouch for those Jokaero, right? maybe that was a start, and he reached too far, pushed the Emperor too much, but ignored censure and continued to work with them behind His back anyways.

think about it. Lorgar was censured once he strayed too far from the Emperor's chosen path. Magnus was as well. Sangunius feared it because even he couldn't tell if he was straying too far.and Gulliman was paranoid to hell about it! if the other two crossed lines even more terrible of a taboo, of course the Emperor would put them down.
