Biography

Origins

The origins towards the entity known simply as the True Sorrow Maker or the Emperor as the Abhorrent Brood would know them by is left a mystery. Cryptarchs of the City proclaim him to be the Hive's equivalent to the Greek muse of history, Clio. The Hive would compare the Emperor as an opposition to Anziluu, the Ravenous as he describes what will be while the Emperor describes what once was. The Cabal claim that he may have some relation to the surrogate mother of the Osmium Progeny, Taox and may be the link between her and the OXA Machine. The Fallen believe them to be somewhat related to the old tale of Skira, the Watcher, which may or may not be another name held by the Emperor.

The Emperor has had personal history with members of the Hive Pantheon, most specifically Nokris, Herald of Xol, who based his own teachings and even appearance off of the Emperor. Oryx believed him to be a sycophant or rather a pretender to himself and his rule, as Oryx fed off of curiosity while the Emperor fed off of knowledge. Anziluu believed him to be a threat to the Weave of Fate to the point in which he banished him and his own followers from ever entering into the Realm of Apocrypha as it was the greatest source of knowledge of the past, present and future

Arrival in Old Russia

Several months after the arrival of the Black Fleet, forces of the Hive in the Cosmodrome scrabbled for territory and control. The Emperor would emerge, vying for control over the Hive within the Cosmodrome, spreading the word of a godless future in which they would only tithe to themselves and not the gods they once worshipped.
