[Débat] Les Survivants de l'Hérésie (Spoilers possibles !)

Uriel Ventris a écrit:Ou pas

However by some twist of fate, or through the will of the Emperor, Loken did not die in the bombardment. Months later, well after Horus' fleet had moved on to face the Emperor's Loyalists at the Drop Site Massacre on Istvaan V, where 4 more Astartes Legions declared their open allegiance to Chaos and to Horus, Loken finally managed to dig himself out of the rubble of the Choral City, Istvaan III's capital city. Unfortunately, Loken's mind had been broken by the trauma of the betrayal and his wounds and he had lost both his memory and his identity. Instead, he took up a new role and named himself Cerberus after the ancient Terran legend of the hound who guarded the gates of the Underworld, because he believed that death had rejected him, the "monster" who now haunted the burnt and broken ruins of Istvaan III for over a year, killing the other survivors of the betrayal, beleiving himself to be the last Loyalist Space Marine in existence.

This changed when Battle Captain Nathaniel Garro, formerly of the Death Guard Legion and now a Loyalist Space Marine in the special service of the Emperor after his escape from Istvaan III on the Imperial frigate Eisenstein, returned to Istvaan III with the express purpose of searching for Loken as a recruit to join the organisation that Malcador the Sigillite intended to found on the Emperor's orders that would later become the Imperial Inquisition. They encountered a handful of survivors who spoke of a beast that hunted them. Taking matters into his own hands, Garro went to the lair of the so-called beast of Istvaan III, and on discovery of the long-dead corpse of Tarik Torgaddon, he was attacked by the unkempt, nearly-psychotic "Cerberus". After a lengthy battle, during which Cerberus escaped, Garro and his companions discovered that the human "survivors" of the virus-bombing of Istvaan III were in fact daemonhosts who had been transformed into undead Plague Zombies of Nurgle when the virus-bombing had weakened the barrier between the Immaterium and Istvaan III, allowing the Plague Lord's influence to reign supreme. Garro and his Loyalist Astartes managed to defeat the foul creatures with the aid of Cerberus; however, once the undead had been destroyed, Garro and Cerberus had one more one-on-one combat match.

It was during this final fight that Garro managed to reach through the amnesia and fractured awareness of Cerberus to the core of the good man that remained deep within his psyche, reminding him of who he truly was, and that the Emperor still had a use for him in rooting out the corruption that was staining the Imperium. Aware of his true identity once more, Garviel Loken joined Garro and his team. With his assemblage of warriors now complete, Garro and Loken left Istvaan III for Luna to receive their first mission from Malcador the Sigillite

Loken n'est pas mort dans le bombardement

Cependant par un coup du destin ou par la volonté de l'Empereur, Loken n'est pas mort dans le bombardement.

Loken survit au bombardement viral, c'est un fait.. puis même au feu qui embrase la planête derrière, lorsque le virus est mort, et qu'Horus refait bombarder les gaz emits par le virus...

Oui, mais à ce moment là ils sont dans les bunkers hermétiques.

Sinon imaginez le scénario, "Tarvitz se fait pulvérisé dans l'éspace, Horus envoit les ogives, les marines loyalistes meurent en se désagrégeant, en particulier Loken le héros dont tout le monde s'était attaché pour lui c'est encore plus long puisque les héros meurent lentement (sauf Torgaddon)... Fin"
Cool, non?
Du coup rien de tragique, pas de combat frêre contre frêre, pas de ... bah rien en fait.

D.A

Although it initially appeared that Loken perished in the final bombardment of Isstvan III, many months later a team of Astartes led by Nathaniel Garro on the orders of Malcador the Sigillite were sent to the planet to recruit a single warrior.

The wars of the Horus Heresy had long since moved onwards, leaving Isstvan III a shattered and desolate graveyard. In these circumstances, the one surviving and abandoned Astartes left upon the world had fallen to a form of madness, believing himself rejected by death and unable to remember his name. He took upon himself the name Cerberus and believed himself to be the only remaining loyalist, (a Legion of One), until he was confronted by Garro and his men.

Initially hostile to a group that he perceived as traitors, the lone astartes forced Nathaniel Garro to engage him in single combat, and Garro proved unable to overcome him physically. Thus Garro appealed to the warrior's faith and duty and reminded him of his name: Garviel Loken.

In this moment of lucidity, Loken remembered himself and agreed to go with them. It is revealed that Loken is the final recruit for Garro's mission for the Sigillite and they return together to Terra to learn their fates.

Bien qu'il apparu initiallement que Loken périt dans le bombardement finale d'Isstvan III, de nombreux mois plus tard une équipe d'Astartes menée par Nathaniel Garro sur les ordre de Malcodor le Sigillite fut envoyée sur la planète pour recruter un guerrier solitaire.

Les guerres de l'Hérésie d'Horus s'étaient depuis longtemps éloignées [en terme spatial], laissant Isstvan III boulversée, telle un cimetière désolé. Dans ces circonstances, l'unique Astartes survivant et abandonné, laissé sur ce monde, avait sombré dans une forme de folie, se croyant rejeté par la mort, et il était incapable de se souvenir de son nom. Il se choisit le nom de Cerberus, et se persuada qu'il était le seul loyaliste restant (A legion of one), jusqu'à ce qu'il fut confronté à Garro et ses hommes.

Initialement hostile à un groupe qu'il voyait comme des traitres, l'Astartes solitaire força Nathaniel Garro à engager un combat singulier contre lui, et Garro fut incapable de le surpasser physiquement. Garro fit appel à la confiance et au devoir du guerrier [Loken], et lui rapella son nom : Gavriel Loken.

Dans ce moment de lucidité, Loken se souvint de son identité et accepta de les rejoindre. Il est révélé que Loken est la dernière recrue de Garro pour la mission que lui avait confié le Sigilitte, et ils retournèrent ensemble à Terra pour apprendre leurs destins.
