Melpomanei: "The Unspeakable King was the lord of Albia during Old Night and the earliest years of the Unification War. He was a pariah of unfathomable power who enslaved others of his kind - including my own mother - known as Hollow Ones. Under his tyrannical rule, Albia conquered all of Panpacifica by the end of the twenty-seventh millennium. In an age of endless horrors, the cruelty of his reign remained the stuff of legend for a thousand years after his death. He was the only person I have ever known the Emperor to fear."

Melpomanei: "The Unspeakable King was, to the Emperor's mind, the only true rival for control of the destiny of mankind. He held a third of Terra in his iron grasp when the Unification War began, his armies so vast and powerful that a thousand years later the clans descended from the broken remnants held the Thunder Legion in check. While the Unspeakable King reigned, the Emperor feared He would fail."

Melpomanei: "For my personal use, I would take the bolt pistol. The laspistol's advantages do not factor into my considerations, and my usual prey relies on more esoteric defences than mere plasteel and adamantine."

Melpomanei: "For a certain value of 'soul', yes. To define the soul as one's presence in the Immaterium is widespread, though simplistic. Some have suggested we have souls of a different sort, thus the term blacksoul is among the many used to describe pariahs."
