But how could any being predict chaos's last ditch, ace in the whole effort? Of course he's made mistakes, but so did zeus. In fact the biggest mistake he made is not forming the imperial truth into a more open minded message. It's shown many times that firm and unwavering belief in the emperor can give a warp creature pause as his existence is antithetical to their own. Even the architect of fate has difficulty perceiving the paths of the future. He is a solitary figure but his personality isn't a simple thing and while the eastern religions do have traits almost never associated with the emperor, there is nothing pointing to him having never explored differing perspectives of human interaction and introspection.

Additionally, there seems to be a growing, learning quality to the emperor when the subject of his past comes up in Warhammer 40k lore and novels that points to the possibility that not every adventure of his long life was at the head of an army or to slay some great beast. Him interacting with simple nomads but passing a gift of understanding on in passing to a given individual or inspiring a new faith in many simply with his presence sounds like something right up the emperor's alley.

Any additional input about this would be greatly appreciated by me. Thank you for your original response. And thanks to all for the private messages as well.
