History Characters / IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDeviceTheEldar

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Takes [[spoiler: one of this arms falling off from the Star Child's influence]] remarkably well.

* HorrifyingHero: He is the closest thing to a good guy in this universe who isn't out to destroy humanity or see themmas inferior species like the Eldar does, but to destroy the Chaos Gods (especially Slaanesh), and has defeated galactic threats and literally treats them like a joke. His [[MonsterClown appearance and personality on the other hand]]...

* CreepyGood: Cegorach is without question one of the most terrifying beings shown in the entirety of the series, with attitudes ranging from nightmarishly humorous (his default mood) to ''utterly menacing.'' That being said, all of his malicious actions have been directed to AssholeVictims like the C'Tan, Ahriman, and dangerous Space Marine chapters, all of whom could cause unspeakable damage on a planetary if not ''galactic'' scale if left unchecked. While he does toy around with Custodisi and Whammudes for shits and giggles, he doesn't do anything to actually harm them and even lets them into the Black Library (though it's ambiguous whether he mistook them for Solitaries or if he actually knew who they were from the beginning and simply let them in cause they were Custodes like Kitten). He also decides to cancel his comedy duel with Magnus as he was literally killing himself with HeroicSelfDeprecation, and Cegorach decides to end it as a draw.

* {{Troll}}: Cegorach is the apotheosis of trolldom. He plays Ahriman like a fiddle, and played a part in convincing the C'tan to start eating each other, for kicks as much as strategy. He also menaces Custodisi and Whammudes for absolutely no reason other than it amused him given he was going to let them into the Black Library anyway.

* PetTheDog: Despite looking like something that would give your sister nightmares ([[Literature/{{It}} or a Stephen King book]]), Cegorach is surprisingly a fair god that decides to save Magnus from killing himself with his SelfDeprecation jokes. Even before then, he allowed entry for Custodisi and Whammudes to enter the Black Library despite trolling the hell out of them, and is heavily implied to have Kitten allowed entry. This ''heavily'' contrasts Tzeentch who manipulated Magnus into [[DealWithTheDevil selling his soul to him]] in order to warn his father, but ended up destroying his Webway project (and he still has deep regrets about that).

Even before then, he allowed entry for Custodisi and Whammudes to enter the Black Library despite trolling the hell out of him, and is heavily implied to have Kitten allowed entry. This ''heavily'' contrasts Tzeentch who manipulated Magus into [[DealWithTheDevil selling his soul to him]] in order to warn his father, but ended up destroying his Webway project (and he still have deep regrets about that).

** He's not merely the god of the trickery and humor, but the Eldar's god of humor. Considering that the Eldar squicked Slaanesh into existence, it's pretty terrifying to think about what they consider is "funny".
** It makes sence since Ahriman and C'Tan are galactic-scale threats and Custodes are [[JerkJock Jerk Jocks]] at worst.
* ScaryLibrarian: Cegorach protects the Black Library of the Eldar. Ahriman eventually found this out the hard way.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While he sees HeroicSelfDepreciation as a form of comedy, it can literally kill someone if they overdo it, hence declaring his comedy duel with Magnus as a draw.

* ScrewYouElves: Many jokes are made at their expense, and many other characters insult and sometimes kill some unlucky Drukhari mooks. [[KickTheSonOfABitch Not that they completely don't deserve this.]]

* NoPronunciationGuide: Magnus tries several pronunciations of "Cegorach" and after being told they're all wrong, he gives up and (along with everyone else), just calls him by his title, The Laughing God.

* StockShticks: The Laughing God's sense of humor was stale thirty-eight millennia ago, but ''you'' tell that to, well, ''The Laughing [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin God]]''. If you're lucky he might just kill you.

* FrenchJerk: Cegorach has a notably thick French accent due to his voice actor Failsnake being French. He's also a massive {{Troll}} who enjoys either antagonizing or messing with anyone who comes to the Black Library. He also collaborated with The Deceiver to bait it's fellow C'tan into warring among themselves and almost driving themselves to total extinction, seemingly [[BecauseItAmusedMe for giggles.]]
