    The Dark Angels weren't just used to slaughter the Thunder Warriors, they did quite a lot of work that wasn't made public during the Great Crusade. I'm pretty sure they were supposed to be the Inquisition before the Inquisition was on the drawing board. Sort of a secret police type thing. I think a big part of the Lion's "loyalty is it's own reward, it doesn't matter who knows" statement is because only the Emperor knew 90% of the missions he went on in the background while Horus was off kicking ass with everyone watching.

    If only the emperor looked towards the galactic west rather than the east he would have found the lion first and had more time to work on his social skills and become a loyal warmaster.
    Caliban was a far distance away from Terra while Cythonia (Horus’s planet) was so damn close warp travel wasn’t necessary its as if chaos maneuvered events in a way to keep El Johnson as far away from the emperor as long possible .
    one thing I love about the lion is the natural fear and unease he placed in both his brothers and in chaos which makes sense as fundamentally El Johnson is the older brother who ain’t adored of their big bro.

    though the next video will be the place to put this as he's more morden but
    Azrael is one of my favorite space marine characters and
    has one the best lines from a space marine
    to put in context a mechanicus adept knows chaos marines are coming for her, and she's been in contact with Azrael thinks he's abandoned her, eventually she runs into a marine says she's not afraid and the chapter master of the dark angels, says
    " Really? Even in my wounded state, I thought I cut quite the imposing figure", think that gives him far more personality than
    brooding dark angel or humorless space marine, with their self importance view so skewed they probably expect dying people to wipe their own blood of his armour

      I agree but for the dark angles as a whole. in the books despite still being fanatic battle monks who only think about how best to do their duty the dark angles still occasionally have a sense of humour be it sneaking into the chapter masters personal armoury or shooting their own librarians when they turn to chaos. and because of their honour beliefs they are able to show the human emotion of shame while other chapters wouldn't understand the concept
