    In response to those asking if Cypher is still on Terra, it is very heavily implied (if not outright stated) that he is not, as the 8th edition Dark Angel codex states that Cypher was being pursued by a number of Unforgiven Chapters during the Massacre at Darkmor, which occurred following the opening of the Cicatrix Maledictum/Great Rift (which itself was after the events of the 13th black crusade).
    He is also being currently hunted down by a number of Custodes and Sisters of Silence.

    I believe that Cypher is on the side of the Loyalists and was ordered by Lion El’ Jonson to make sure that the Dark Angels would not fail the Imperium by getting caught up in other threats and not recognizing the threat of Chaos, so he is like a lodestone of sorts to bring the Dark Angels attention upon dangerous elements that could possibly bring down the Imperium. One of his quotes, I believe tells us about his purpose.

      I see him more as a Daemon of Caliban. Loyal to the Dark Angels first and Imperium second.

He sees Chaos as tools to further the cause of the Dark Angels and to finally see them redeemed.

      Richard Fore - Uh... yeah, pretty much nailed it. Except probably not the first part... the HH novels have made it increasingly clear that (epically) failing the Imperium, getting caught up in irrelevant nonsense, and being hilariously oblivious to Chaos are the top 3 favorite hobbies of the Dark Angels in general and The Lion in particular. And they are damn good at them to this day. If I tried to list every time their jackassery caused a catastrophic fuck-up for the Imperium during the HH (which I could, because Warhammer trivia is one of my superpowers), then... well... it would be a really, REALLY long list... after the recent ‘Dreadwing’ novella, I am prepared to argue that of all the Legions- including the traitors- the Dark Angels were actually the greatest threat to the Imperium. That’s without even including The Fallen- I mean just the loyalist Dark Angels. If you bring Luther and friends into the conversation, there’s no contest. Horus himself looks at the Dark Angels and feels nothing but raw envy at what they managed to accomplish. I may petition Arch Warhammer to change it from #BlameLorgar to #BlameLion. At this point, he’s a serious contender to beat out Abaddon for the title of ‘Worst Son in the history of children’.

    I think Cypher is Corswain and the Lion's soul is trapped in the Lion sword on his back. The watchers placed his soul in the sword after his anguish of Luther's betrayal and his mind was broken. They entrusted it to Corswain as he was the only one who could do the job, switched places with Zahariel, and went on the run. When Cypher gets the sword to the emperor, he will fix the sword and the Lion's mind, forgiving the Dark Angels and bringing the Lion back to the imperium. That's what I like to think, mostly because corswain is awesome.

      Really, Big E screwed things up from the get go.
      He:
      a) created a caste society with his "sons" at the top creating a hereditary monarchy. And of course no hereditary monarchy has ever had a son try to seize the throne...oh wait.
      b) He entrusted too much power into too few hands. There shouldn't have been a war-master. There should have been a council of brothers as equals.
      c) he put his "sons" on a massive ego trip about how awesome a bunch of demigods they were then expected them to not have ego trips?
      d) some of his sons (Angron comes to mind) should not have been given their legion till they got their heads straight.
      e) completely disregarded everyone in the whole galaxy's will and forced his agenda down everyone else's throat at bolter point. That does not breed loyalty. Which is why there are constant mutinies and Chaos takeovers all the time. Big E didn't convert the people of the galaxy, he bullied them into submission. Which is why they have to have exterminatus in 40k, because that simply doesn't work long term.
      I could go on. The Imperium was fatally flawed from its birth and things have only gotten worse as time goes on.

    Cypher is part of the webway creation entity. Hence is movements through space.
    Cypher brings conflict wherever he goes to test the unforgiven. If they have done enough by the time cypher reaches Pimp Daddy E then the lion will wake, and have the entities loyalty completely. Being able to control the webway means no more demon invasion of the earth portal. Big E can revitalise himself.
    And the dark Angels legion can wtfpwn out of the webway so fast They will need to paint their armour red.

    Cypher is the physical battlefield manifestation of the emperor. As the emperor may be linked in the golden throne, his psychic presence manifests as one of the 1st legion as he would have known them, black armour. I think this would explain Cipher’s ability to appear in the heat of battle, when the storm is darkest, to turn the tides for the empire. He will always run from the Dark Angels simply to avoid having his true identity found. His longevity since the end of the heresy and ability to survive the warp untainted could also be accredited to this idea. The fact that some of the Fallen believe that they still serve the Emperor could hunt at this. The Emperor may be so displeased with how his empire has fallen from his own vision, he may be trying to fix it from the outside, since he is unable to do so while sitting on the golden throne.

    Wow, your reading of the Caliban Space Marines' intentions and Luther's fall are pretty generous! I want you in my jury if I ever commit a crime! I could NEVER be convicted.
    It sounds like Baghdad Bob's description of the very short war in Iraq. "No, no Americans here. . .", as the US Humvees pass behind him in the window.
    The Lion's relationship with his father was definitely a bit unique. He was utterly loyal to the Emperor. As he conquered worlds, he did not see them as His Empire, he viewed them very plainly as his father's. He held nothing against the worlds were there people, they were intended to be part of the Imperium.
    He was the first primarch, template for the first legion, and the Emperor crafted custom psychic touches in the minds of many of that first legion, like Astellan.
    When the Imperium was threatened in the Rangdan Xenocide, the Emperor didn't send for Horus, he brought the 1st Legion.
    The sword of his first son may have much more significance than simply being a killing tool, it may be the link to both awaken the Lion and resurrecting the emperor.
    I really don't see any way that Horus nuking some other perpetual removes the Emperor's Perpetual Mojo.

    Take it into photoshop-> Duplicate layer->Hide the first one-> Magic wand the negative space surrounding it & hit delete (You probably did all that so far)-> Now here's where we get rid of that pesky 1-pixle outline surrounding it that triggered this comment: Click the FX button on that layer-> Select Stroke-> Change the setting to Inner so it is not stroking going out, but going in-> change the pixle density to like 1~3. Ta-dah. Just like that, that entire white-pixle outline it's got going on disappears, especially within a black background.
    If you don't wanna do that, then after the magic want step-> Selection menu-> Inverse selection-> Reduce/Expand your slection by like 1~2 pixles-> Hit delete. It should effectivly delete that border, but has more room for some jank.
