1 Only the Emperor is strong enough to guide the Astronomican. Anyone else who sat in the Golden Throne would be dead in a week, for example: Malcador the Sigilite.

2 Only the Adeptus Custodes a few members of the Adeptus Mechanicus and a few other visitors over 10 millenia have seen the Emperor.

3 The Emperor has a unique psychic signature so any psyker can pick him out.
