History Characters / TheWeaverOption

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: By Chaos standards, at least, which means he won't execute people for bringing him bad news or murder his subordinates when feeling frustrated.

* NoodleIncident: Nobody short of the Emperor, the Primarchs and the Custodes remember precisely what Nagash did to get himself and his Legion sentenced to obliteration - because the death sentence included the Legion and all its actions expunged from history.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Taylor is a Lady General of the Imperial Guard and the Governor of Nyx Sector and is an immensely powerful being who has taken on Greater Daemons, Eldar, and Orks and won. Even the extremely haughty Lilith compliments her abilities.

* SimpleYetAwesome: Lilith mainly uses the power of her Sword of Vaul to change what type of sword it is, yet she lays waste to entire legions of daemons with it. [[spoiler:Then 8-5 reveals that it ''does'' have a secret power...]]

* SitcomArchNemesis: With Kurt Nils. Given Kurt's background as a member of the working class whose piloting rivals her own, Freya naturally doesn't get along with him and sees him as the "symbol of everything wrong with the new order". The two regularly trade insults and their animosity becomes so well-known that some of Freya's fellow pilots even jokingly suggest that their rivalry is a result of BelligerentSexualTension.

* SmugSuper: Utterly convinced that taking Elsar'bryn from Mon-keigh hands will be a walk in the park, and as such doesn't even bother with strategy when he attacks Taylor. He didn't live long enough to regret it.

* AsskickingLeadsToAuthority: Taylor is a Lady General of the Imperial Guard and the Governor of Nyx Sector and is an immensely powerful being who has taken on Greater Daemons, Eldar, and Orks and won. Even the extremely haughty Lilith compliments her abilities.

* AuthorityLeadsToAsskicking: Taylor is a Lady General of the Imperial Guard and the Governor of Nyx Sector and is an immensely powerful being who has taken on Greater Daemons, Eldar, and Orks and won. Even the extremely haughty Lilith compliments her abilities.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Taylor is a Lady General of the Imperial Guard and the Governor of Nyx Sector and is an immensely powerful being who has taken on Greater Daemons, Eldar, and Orks and won. Even the extremely haughty Lilith compliments her abilities.

* LongLived: She will be Governor of Nyx for at least 114 years, which is nicknamed the First Age of the Saint… out of ten such Ages.

* RoyalHarem: She showed interest in making [[MsFanservice Alyena]] [[EvilIsSexy Sinblade]] the first of her and Taylor's seraglio after her trial, though Taylor voices her distaste for harems.

* EvilIsSexy: Unnaturally beautiful, as befitting of an Aeldari. Her voice alone is enough to set Leet to drooling.

* {{Pyromaniac}}: They enjoy everything fire, lava, and magma a ''bit'' too much, and enjoy even more setting heretics, xenos, and traitors in fire – preferably alive.

** When he first returned to take command of his Legion, ''half of his Legion'' refused to swear themselves to him ''in spite of the sire-bond.'' And Fabius Bile, ''the'' legendarily infamous MadScientist amongst the Traitor Astartes who normally has borderline nonexistent standards when it comes to his mad science and genecraft, refuses to even consider the idea of experimenting on the Eleventh.

* StevenUlyssesPerhero: At one point calls himself Cy Pher. The main reason it works is because his name is not well known. The one person in the group he meets who does know of Cypher sees through the alias immediately.

!!The King in Yellow[[spoiler:, later Nagash, the King of Bones]]

* InNameOnly: While there is a character named The King in Yellow in the 40K lore, he was introduced in the ''Literature/{{Bequin}}'' novels, which are relatively recent, published at a fairly slow rate, and as of the introduction of the character with the same name in TWO, not finished yet. As such, there is little in common between the two characters other than the name. One notable inconsistency is that [[spoiler:the second ''Bequin'' novel claimed that the King's true identity is Constantin Valdor rather than a Lost Primarch as he is in TWO. Valdor died in TWO a year before that novel was published.]]
* MirrorCharacter: The Eleventh and Second Primarchs were unpersoned in order to cover a great shame for the Imperium. However, Hattori Hanzo fell to an enemy much more stronger than his Legion, was devoted to the Emperor's dream and genuinely loved by his brothers, with his story uncovered and honored by Weaver -- the King in Yellow apparently defied the Imperium by being a GodhoodSeeker, was loathed by his whole family and Malicia sought for his remains to unbalance the galaxy further.

* {{Unperson}}: The only reason the man on the street knows there ever was an Eleventh Legion, and by extension an Eleventh Primarch, at some point is by inference over the fact that there was once a Tenth and Twelfth Legion lead by the Tenth and Twelfth Primarchs. All records of their names and deeds have been expunged from Imperial history, save for in the highly classified archives kept by the Custodes. [[spoiler:Rogal Dorn undoes this metaphysically by re-naming the Eleventh Primarch as '''Nagash''', which single-handedly destroys his aspirations to become Master of Eternity and allows the Ruinous Powers to unleash their full vengeance upon him.]]

* EmperorScientist: As a Cryptek, she's basically the Necron equivalent of a Tech-Priest - and not just any Tech-Priest, but an Archmagos at that. As Phaerakh, she's the absolute ruler of her dynasty. It's also noted that unlike most Dynasties where the Phaeron/Phaerakh is reliant on their Crypteks to handle technology in their stead, the Nerushlatset Dynasty has Neferten teaching her subordinate Crypteks instead.

** To help buy time for Weaver to prepare, Trazyn sabotages the Throne's FTL drive, leaves a horde of malware in its systems, and re-programs the Replication Engines to create millions of deranged copies of himself. The "Trazyn Apocalypse" is barely prevented.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Possesses a few of the Silent King's command codes, but swore an oath not to use them to directly control any Necron, feeling this would make him too similar to the Deceiver. Orikan pisses him enough that he breaks the oath.

* EmperorScientist: As a Cryptek, she's basically a Tech-Priest, and the absolute ruler of her dynasty.
