![]() In Episode 26, he comments to himself in a monologue that one of his biggest failings is that he has lost touch with his own humanity and empathy, making him more cold and bitter.While he's still a massive dick all around, he does have genuine love for his Primarch sons, which is something that the Black Library has significantly moved away from as the Horus Heresy series has progressed, along with the general developments that came as a result of The Gathering Storm (in which Roboute Guilliman feels that the Big E sees him as little else but a favorite tool to advance the Imperium's goals).His xenophobia is severely downplayed compared to his canon version.Magnus calls him out on this whenever he has the chance, and eventually even Rogal concedes that Magnus has a point and tells the Emperor he had kids 20,000 years too early. but, considering he's still a verbally and emotionally abusive asshole manipulating his Primarch children like puppets rather than just being honest with them, it's not much of an improvement. He's gotten slightly better after having spent 10,000 years in perpetual agony as a direct result of his lousy parenting and having little else to do but reflect on that fact.

Absolute Xenophobe: Extremely Downplayed compared to his canon version, who had alien civilisations exterminated for the mere "crime" of existing (and being a federation of humans and aliens wouldn't save them either, the humans would be exterminated all the same for being "traitors to mankind").
