Added DiffLines:

* CainAndAbel: His position as either changes depending on the history with his relationship with his brothers. As such:
** At first, he was the Abel to Leman Russ' Cain, at least in backstory when the Emperor merely told him he sent Leman after him to only arrest him. Horus tells him that the Emperor changed his mind and sent Leman to kill him. Even after that, both brothers really hate each other, as Leman plans to confront him once he escapes the Warp.
** He's the Abel to Corvus Conrax's Cain when Magnus accidentally kills Vulkan with the Engine of Woes, but The Emperor clarifies that Corvus had already hated him.
** Subverted with Vulkan, as the latter still sees him as his brother, and has nothing against him after reviving.

* BigRedDevil: His OneWingedAngel true form has elements of this, mostly in the crimson skin and the horns. Normally he restrains himself into his Primarch shape, but some topics (such as the [[BerserkButton Space Wolves]]) make him slip badly.

* FatalFlaw: Much like his father, arrogance. Magnus can be utterly impossible when he's entirely committed to something, and often doesn't react well to being challenged. Tzeetch took advantage of it in the past and Magnus only seems to have somewhat learned from the experience as he's once again going behind his father's back to do what he thinks needs doing. Also Magnus' arrogance, unlike his father's, is often coupled with a bad habit of acting without thinking when he really wants to do something.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: During his comedy duel with Cegorach, he throws all kinds of insults to himself, which shows that even he hates himself over the course of the series, which involved making a deal with Tzeech and destroying his father's Webway project. But as Cegorach explains, this trope can ''literally'' kill himself, as he was slowly dying from it. Cegorach decided to [[EveryoneHasStandards make it a draw for the sake of his health]].

* BrassBalls: You would need serious pair of these if you ever decide to go to the Black Library, since Cegorach will only allow certain individuals into the Black Library. Considering Custodisi and Whammudes are traumatized upon seeing Cegorach at first sight, you ''will'' need the kind of balls he has.

And since Cegorach allows certain people there implies that [[BrassBalls he's used to Cegorach's presence]] while getting his information from the library while Custodisi and Whammudes were pissing themselves seeing him in in their first visit despite allowing them access.

* {{Retcon}}: It was initially implied that all them went crazy and engaged in the same {{Stripperiffic}} hedonism we see with the Fabulous Custodes, with Kitten being the exception (publicly). However, this was changed with the release of the various codices detailing them, now with the implication that it was only the Companions (the 300 or so personal bodyguards of the Emperor) that descended into hedonistic madness (publicly), while the other orders found stuff to keep themselves occupied and their {{Stripperiffic}} hedonism kept in check for the most part.

Hundred Percent Adoration Rating was renamed Universally Beloved Leader. If an example was removed, it probably would not have made a good example as written


* HundredPercentAdorationRating: He's pretty much adored by all of the Custodes, who practically see him as a father figure. Even the Fab 3 have come to realize the error of their ways and give him the respect he deserves. '''''The Emperor himself''''' likes him, and he's crabbiness incarnate. He's just that nice.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Attempted this when telling The Emperor things he needed to know, and tried t keep other information, such as sterilization camps, sacrifices, and the less savory actions of the Inquisition and Ecclesiarchy. Unfortunately, it doesn't fool the Emperor, and even outright tells him everything he wants to know. And when he relents, the Emperor, even with a text to speech device, is anything ''[[TranquilFury but]]'' happy over what the Imperium was doing, which can result in ''multiple'' warp storms.

Added DiffLines:

* AuthoritySoundsDeep: Kitten uses a deeper voice when dealing with the Skitarii (who refuse to listen to him) and the Fabricator-General of Mars in his authority as a High Lord of Terra.


Added DiffLines:

* BaritoneOfStrength: When he challenges Tzeentch for Magnus' soul, he suddenly gets a much deeper voice similar to the other Custodes, though this is also play on how the main character's voice in the [[Anime/YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh anime]] deepens when he allows the Pharaoh's spirit to possess him during a game.

*** The Lord Commander Militant, already being given depth as one of the more reasonable High Lords, is shown to have an exceptionally crude and occasionally disturbing sense of humor, with his thorough enjoyment of his role as a dung obsessed, face skinning lunatic. Having a crude sense of humor is actually quite [[TruthInTelevision common in the military]] even amongst officers (they they tend to keep it amongst other officers).

Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* FieryRedhead: His hair and beard are a deep crimson.
* RevengeBeforeReason: He charges off the road to avenge Benny by slaying the Ogre tribe, never mind that the fight with just one Ogre led to Benny's death, Sir Wamri's near-death and the Shaman Queen's disfigurement. The party is promptly captured by the Ogres.

* {{Jerkass}}: He is a complete asshole towards the Boy for no good reason. He also takes every opportunity to rib on Rogal Dorn for the behavior of the Black Templars. Though this is balanced by the fact that he does NOT tolerate genocidal tendencies towards regular humans, unlike Whammudes.

* CovertPervert: As noted in NotSoAboveItAll, it's implied that Kitten not only has a legitimate interest in engaging in the same homoerotic {{Stripperific}} schenanigans as the Fabulous Custodes (and, implicitly, most of the Adeptus Custodes in general, even if they too have mostly grown past it as well), but that he also indeed once indulged in such antics but managed to reign himself in at some point in the past. In "Episode 15- Tau" in particular, when the Emperor threatens to have Kitten charged as being the new target in the next Blood Games (where the sexual activity in question is all but outright stated to occur) if he doesn't inform him about the Tau, and Kitten fearfully questions aloud that the Emperor was supposed to be ''persuasive'' in convincing people to do his bidding, the Emperor insists that he ''is'' being persuasive... because he knows that Kitten secretly enjoys it.

** His hatred of the Tau is a particularly notable example of this, as the very ''mention'' of them prompts [[OnlySaneMan him]] to swiftly take up the same violent, xenophobic zeal that many of the Imperium's denizens are infamous for. Furthermore, it's heavily implied that the catalyst for this hatred was because he was formerly in a relationship with Shadowsun (which he continuously insists is "not canon" whenever it's brought up) which ended with her breaking up with him, greatly suggesting that he's NotGoodWithRejection in the ''extreme''.
