User blog comment:Lune Crackham/Is the Emperor of Mankind really a hero?/@comment-8397818-20170316220425

1. The Emperor did know about Lorgar's religious practice. He just ignored it until he lost his patience with Lorgar. Also, Guilliman was the one who carried out the destruction of Monarchia, not Russ. And yes, he did grant Colchis the right to practice religion since Lorgar asked him to leave the planet the way it was.

2. And what was he suppose to do? Let his son die on Nuceria? Nope, he was his son regardless. Angron had to lead an army. The Emperor knew that the Butcher's Nails would one day kill Angron.

3. The Emperor wanted to make sure that humanity will survive in this hostile galaxt first and foremost. How he would rule humanity is an entirely different story.
