I still find it hilarious that after the Horus Heresy Abaddon went through a midlife crisis.
Like, as soon as the traitors get to the eye of Terror he just takes the Vengeful Spirit and fucks off to somewhere.
The traitor legions fight among themselves, and the Sons of Horus are brought to the edge of extintion, and so a bunch of guys go to search for Abaddon and ask him for help.
And when they find him, one of the greatest astartes legends, the greatest captain of the greatest legionβ¦ heβs just fucking around.
Hes got a giant room filled with stuff, from armor to random alien shit.
Heβs got a giant, meters long sea monster hanging from a wall, whose teeth are as long as a space marine is tall, and when he notices them looking at it, Abaddon just says βoh yeah, that was a tough oneβ
Heβs got the talon of Horus, the weapon that killed the Emperor and Sanguinius, sitting in a corner collecting dust.
He offers them some homemade cocktails that he based on a failed attempt to synthesize ectoplasma, the literal stuff the warp is made out of. And when they ask him why the fuck did he think he was gonna be able to create ectoplasma, he pretty much shrugs and says βidkβ
They ask him how he could fly the ship without a navigator and he says that he wired together the brains of abunch of psykers and linked them to the ship.
His eyes are GOLDEN because he stared too long into the astronomicon.
While the nine legions tore at eachother and his own legion was being massacred, this man just kinda did stuff, and travelled. And looked into the sun. And made cocktails. And I gotta respect him for that.
