OKAY SO:

Mortarion and Medraut are as close as they get. Married pretty much. Kindred spirits, but not kindred enough to be unable to stop what's gonna happen to them later. Both aggressive to psykers, both deeply traumatized, both VERY opinionated about justice. Mortarion just wishes Medraut didn't look at the emperor like that.

Russ is still his best friend. His platonic life partner. Medraut has seen the breaks in the mask. The man behind the wolf. Russ has seen the otherside of Medraut, and he knows there's nothing behind the hound. Enjoys it, that kindred violence and hate for psykers, that love of traditions. That blind faith in their father.

Robute, funny enough, is someone Medraut adores. He finds the statesman thing fun, even if Guilliman is boring as hell off the field. But there's a genuine recognition of the animal there- the rage Robute, in Medraut's opinion, needs to give in to. Robute is fond of Medraut's ability to listen to plans- but he worries for how... borderline religious Medraut's view of their father is.

Medraut hates Lorgar. So much. Hates his inability to understand their father's views for what they are. Hates how no one else despises him. Lorgar, for his part, sees himself in Medraut. It has not occurred to him that Medraut wishes he'd Just Fucking Die. He might have a crush.

Medraut WOULD hate Magnus. Feels like he should. But father loves him- and he's so- Medraut wishes he could do that. Wishes he wasn't so afraid of the warp, wishes he could hear inside their father's head. Magnus is the subject of his envy. Magnus finds him amusing- if only because he keeps accidentally confirming Magnus' theories.

Khan and Medraut would be friends if Mortarion and Khan could just fucking chill. But they cant and thus Medraut does not care.

Horus is gonna get bitten one of these days. Either through roughhousing- which Horus wishes this feral THING would quit initiating- or through Medraut's poorly hidden jealousy. They DO get along though. Medraut respects him, and understands why hes so favored... doesn't mean he likes it. Horus sees Medraut like he sees Russ. A savage who happens to be a decent ally.

Fulgrim and Medraut get along and its great. Medraut's people are artisans as much as they are workers and soldiers and they vibe SO hard

This also makes getting on with Ferrus easier.

Vulkan is not necessarily Medraut's friend- but there's a shared Wish To Keep Folks Safe And Make Cool Shit.

Medraut and Lion keep staring at each other from across the room and recognizing the shared God Being A Person Is So Hard. Why Is It So Hard. Feral Men Pretending To Be Nobles.

Medraut hates Sanguinius almost more than he hates Lorgar. He hates him so much because Sangunius is Better Than Him Hes Better Than Him Hes Better Than Him. Sangunius is unsettled by this angry snarling fucker that suddenly gets all smiley when father or their brothers are in the room.

Konrad avoids Medraut. There's something about touching someone and suddenly not being able to perceive their face that ruins a friendship, I fear.

Corvus and Medraut are a dynamic i gotta flesh out more but I feel like they'd be the fuckin. "Seven Thousand Fucking Pidgeons: Eat This Man" meme. Meds is gonna Posthumously give Corvus his Demon Tracking Ability to go find Lorgar.

Medraut forgets the twins exist if one of them is not in front of him. Genuinely. He forgets their legion has a primarch. ...he might be stupid. They find this funny.

Perturabo is now Peter Turbo to Medraut. This is not a case of "i forgor your name" its a case of "i don't fucking respect you at all." Perty doesn't get WHY besides maybe Jealousy or like... mayyyybe because Medraut doesn't like Perturabo because of his attitude.

Angron is someone Medraut avoids, when he can. But GOD the rare times they're around each other Medraut is just. Vibrating with the urge to start shit.

Dorn and Medraut are Fortifying Things. Medraut grew up in a castle- the art of both laying seige and defending against a seige is ingrained in him.

Ruber(primarch 2) is... Medraut trusts him. He's not trying to be close to their father- hes not super aggressive towards their father. Hes just There and hes so nice and he validates so much of Medraut's ideals!!! They're friends!

My team in case the world is taken over:

1) Thrax - the leader of the group;

2) Ruber - a mountain of muscles;

3) Jester - a future traitor;

4) Pal Palych - adequate;

5) Schadenfreude - useless but handsome;

6) First Minister or Waldemar - megabrain;

7) Richard - will die first;

8) Buggy - clown;

9) Kesam - doesn't fucking do anything, but fucks up the most;

10) Sota - son of mom's friend;

11) Thriffit - the only one who believes in victory.

I've put together a pile of dorks, in case of moral armageddon

In fact, I could have swapped Kesam and Richard, but as we know, the sum does not change from changing the places of summands))
