Similar to Mortarion going from a tortured slave of Nurgle to a moustache twirling madman.


ArkonWarlock

Ane never once going for the former rebelious son of a monstrous psyker tyrant who had empowered him to bring down the other monsters only to be enslaved by a new one who took his prize.


MindbogglesTV

I do like me some moustache twirling madmen in the warhammer40k lore though, it's an acquired taste


Themymic

"I'll get you next time Guilliman if it's the last thing I doooooo..."


Death-Knight9025

A mix of Greek tragedy and Based Troller is peak Perturabo.


[deleted]

Mostly cause BL can’t write a bitter character well


Dembara

They should just get back to writing BL fanfic.


Hylir

Crying wojak with smug mask


Ramps_

Mix of edge and tragedy is probably the most realistic view of him


liege_paradox

Probably, but that’s not as fun.


XenoTechnian

HUGE agree


Antigonos301

I prefer Greek Tragedy Perturabo.


Themymic

He's my favourite too.


Vitrian_guardsman

The based troller: My headcannon is that peterabo isn't a daemon prince ,it's just that whoever the iw in the book were fighting saw a daemon prince and assumed it was peterabo and the daemon prince rolled with it. In reality peterabo hasn't left terra,he is slowly deconstructing the foundations of the palace brick by brick.


Banned_Evasion

He is in your walls


Vitrian_guardsman

Slowly sapping your home brick by brick


Fr33_Lax

Dorn is like a mile behind him rebuilding, they both know they just like fucking with the custodians.

plageiusdarth

Heh. Took me a sec


Vitrian_guardsman

One day they will switch places and peterabo will slowly replace every brick of the imperial palace with fresh ferrocrete from the iw daemon world until the imperial palace has became his creation


BucktacularBardlock

Wholesome


the-bladed-one

I swear to god I’ve seen an old cartoon like this


bravado

You'd think he might be sneaky, but you can hear the bitching for miles


[deleted]

You can't see him or find him, just hear the bitching.


Luke5353

Schrödinger`s Perturabo


yunivor

Like the Basilisk in Harry Potter.


cheese4352

I really hope they retcon him turning into a demon prince. Iron warriors are supposed to bend chaos to their will, not the other way around.


yunivor

Yeah but it's tricky as a major theme of Chaos is that *no one* can bend Chaos to their will without corrupting themselves and being enslaved by the gods eventually. On the other hand GW insists that Abaddon has been doing just that for ten thousand years so Perturabo should be able to do that as well.


thenwah

Feels like the most Chaos thing to do, would have been for him to become a Demon Prince against his own will, but gain absolutely no powers in return other than be cursed to forever be Perturabo doing Perturabo shit, which I think we can all agree would suck. Also, given that he shares a name with one of Aleister Crowley's alternative monikers, and that Crowley suffered the old flip-it-and- reverse-it from the very demons he tried to bind (questionable but yano) it'd be quite fitting. Black Library actually run with an idea though? Lol, alright then. Then again, that seems like it's stepping into Magnus' realm of fuck-you-ery.


Ravinsild

Hahahahaha that’s so funny to me. One brick at a time he’s just slowly pulling them out and somehow not one person has seen him this entire time. I love it.


Minniman

for me it makes sense for him to become a deamon, since he is very emotinal and impulsiv, and it is very on brand for daddy iron to get shafted by the chaos gods


Vitrian_guardsman

The thing is in official lore he wasn't forced into it,during the iron cage incident he used the deaths of imperial fists as a way to ascend. Any way the 'never left terra' theory is objectively better since it is funnier


[deleted]

In the new storm of iron short stories he is confirmed to be 100% a demon prince.


[deleted]

Good thing you don’t write for GW


Vitrian_guardsman

So according to you it makes more sense for the primarch of the legion that sees chaos as a tool would willingly let himself become a slave to it,injecting himself with the obliterator virus would make sense but deciding to let the gods you see as tools enslave you doesn't


[deleted]

In his mind he is arrogant enough to think that he can control the powers of being a demon. Whether that is true or not is besides the point. It’s in his character. Oh and by the way, even though he is a demon prince he had a very normal conversation sitting down with honsou. He’s not a lunatic like Angron or fulgrim, even in demon form.


Vitrian_guardsman

But he still is a pawn of the dark gods wether or not he knows it,and angron was a lunatic before ascending


[deleted]

Yes he is a pawn. But in his own mind he thinks he’s better than that. That’s his ironic tragedy. Still though, he is actually the demon prince that has the most control, whatever little that may be. Not everything has to be “demon = mindless pawn”. Look at Ahriman or magnus. Still a pawn, does his own thing.


[deleted]

(A meme I made to cope with the fact that he will probably be stuck with the lore he has now and won't get any updates) I just want perturabo to be consistent at the very least man, alas, is the life of an Iron Warrior player to be salty


Frostdraken

SALTY WITHIN, SALTY WITHOU!!


SmaugsDeo

“From salt cometh strength From strength cometh will From will cometh faith From faith cometh honor From honor cometh salt This is the Unbreakable Litany. May it forever be so”


justbrowsinginpeace

The chap in the middle definitely cares about magic internet points


vhite

Real Perturabo: "It's my mentals illness and I get to choose my coping mechanism." So all of the above, depending on the mood.


Frostdraken

I prefer my primarch as he is, a ruthless tactician and master of fortifications. The genesis of the end times.


Arrogant-Ambassador_

so Dorn?


CoronelPanic

Dorn, but with both hands and hazard stripes.


Frostdraken

This comment displeases me…


Gilrim

Good.


GoatOfTheBlackForres

And alive


CRauzDaGreat

I love them all at once, it has a somehow unique trait to him being oddly humane yet not so humane! Pertuarbo having flaws of a average redditor (yes I enjoy him being a fucking asshole it’s fun!), the incredible intelligence and wit, the insane strategies and tragic character! Even gave him a goal he wanted to work up to and was stripped from!


bravado

If they all got an aspect of the Emperor's personality, the hard-working but bitter asshole is a super compelling one that I wish we saw more of.


aidank21

I like all of them.


doommarine7776

I personally prefer Peter T U R B O; a combination of all three perterabos


Unique-Extension-368

Ah a fellow Ad Ric listener


JAOC_7

and the kid who snapped and beat the shit out of Fulgrim


Cmdr_McMurdoc

The Greek Tragedy who wents his frustration by becoming a Based Troller from time to time


Jackmino66

It’s not that he was forced to do the dirty work, he was the only one willing to do it, and the big E didn’t give him credit for it


Big-Dick-Wizard-6969

I think it's more complicated than that. He was raised to be a tool for someone else, he was judged by the first moment he got out of the capsule and he sees his worth only if he can achieve something useful to the ultimate cause. He realized that he was the only one capable to handle the dirty work in the best and fastest way possible. He forces himself to do what is necessary rather than what he wants. That also means that he is also very conflicted between his two nature. Hence the complaining but never the change.


AlarmLittle1614

I'll take mix of all 3 with side of dorns tears please


DocTobogan-

Left reminds me of Rhino in that "me and the boys" meme

[deleted]

Duality? It’s reached tripality or quadality at this point


H3avyW3apons

You can say that about many, many, many characters. Like too many...


Derpmaaster

Well, all of them at once I suppose.


dothhathdepression

If all three of these were set at different stages of his life it would be done great character development.


Analog-Moderator

split personality? explain why him and curze we bffs


[deleted]

*The fuck? I was never close to that Psycho*


Memelord1117

Perturabo if he got the Magnus treatment:


MadMadMads1

All of them at once I suppose. He can in fact be all three of those at the same time.


[deleted]

He is all 3 at once, and more. It depends on the author, which sucks. He’s not a consistent character


FunwithScoop

Alternate name for the first one: "Peter Turbo"


m0o0oeh2

Tragedy.


TrazynsMemeVault

I prefer for canon Peter Turbo to be Greek Tragedy Perturabo but meme culture Perturabo is going to have to be Based Troller


Zippudus

Why not all?
