9	!Humans
10	[[folder:Moravec]]
11
12	An infamous heretec who predates Imperium and was imprisoned deep behind Mars.
13	----
14	* {{Determinator}}: At least according to his own admission, has been alive and fighting for humanity since before the Dark Age of Technology, so at least 25,000 years old. During this long life, he has faced off Eldar, Chaos, various aliens, human warlords and even the Emperor. He never gave up his dream of a species-wide transcendence into the machine for humanity in the face of all that.
15	* MadScientist: Scientist - "upgraded" himself with machine transcendence. Mad - allied with Chaos against Eldar, then turned against Chaos by cutting his own body off. Mad Scientist - merged with the Void Dragon.
16	* PersonOfMassDestruction: Became this after fusing with the Void Dragon to become [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Moravec-as-the-Dragon]]. As per [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-roboutian-heresy-a-warhammer-40k-alternate-universe.440554/page-379#post-80206636/ Word of God]], Moravec could even, somehow, kill '''the Emperor''' in this state.
17	* StartOfDarkness: He learnt about horrors of Eldar and went to Chaos to ruin them by helping to create Slaanesh. Then he figured out its present corrupting influence along with Men of Iron and was one of the leaders of Cybernetic Revolt to transform humanity into machines.

19	!Eldar
20	[[folder:Eldrad Ulthran]]
21
22	The best Farseer of Ultwe.
23	----
24	* AdaptationalBadass: While already the greatest Eldar seer alive in canon, RH Eldrad goes even further, becoming [[PhysicalGod the Eldar God of the Dead incarnate briefly]] and its herald permanently.
25	* OnlySaneMan: Only sane Eldar, arguably. He recognized the danger of attacking Angron, the fact that Eldar Empire deserved to fall, and is working with Omegon to stop Chaos and save the galaxy.
26	* OddFriendship: What his alliance with Omegon ended up with.
27	[[/folder]]
28
29	!T'au
30	[[folder: In General]]
31	* FakeMemories: Ethereals can rewrite the memories of any T'au that can hear the voice just by telling them. Farsight has apparently had this done to him ''many'' times, before the Dawnblade reveals the truth.
32	* FallenHero: Surprsingly, the Ethereals really ''were'' the kind and wise leaders they presented themselves as, at least at first. [[spoiler: Their leader getting possessed by a Daemon Prince loyal to Guilliman]] started their slide into villainy, and any Ethereal who realized what was happening and tried to push back was quickly silenced.
33	* FalseFlagOperation: After the Damocles Crusade [[spoiler: the World Eaters let the surviving Tau go, only for the Ultramarines to massacre them in-transit, and the Ethereals claimed the World Eaters killed everyone without mercy]].
34	* TheManBehindTheMan: While the Ethereals manipulate all of T'au society (and their client races) Farsight's visions reveals that they themselves are slaves to ''something'' that he can't see. [[spoiler: It's Guilliman]].
35	[[/folder]]
36	[[folder: Farsight]]
37	A prodigy commander of the fledgling T'au Empire, until an encounter with an ancient sword sets him on a new path.
38	----
39	* AdaptationalOriginConnection: Downplayed; in canon, the origins of the Dawnblade are left a mystery. Here, it's [[spoiler: a relic used by the Thousand Sons to anchor the Iron Cage]]. However, the [[spoiler: Thousand Sons]] didn't make the blade, they just found it on Arthas Moloch, and it's original creator is still a mystery.
40	* TheAtoner: When realizes what the Ethereals [[spoiler: under Guilliman's control]] have been turning the T'au Empire into, he resolves to make up for it by fighting against the Thirteenth Legion [[spoiler: and bring the entire Empire with him]].
41	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: When the Dawnblade shows him [[spoiler: that he killed his own best friend under the Ethereals' mind control]], he's filled with guilt, shame, and regret.
42	* UnwittingPawn: The entire T'au Empire gets used as this, really, but he's the one who [[spoiler: gets manipulated into breaking the Iron Cage, thus releasing the Ultramarines back into the galaxy]].
43	[[/folder]]
44	[[folder: Commander Shadowsun]]
45	Farsight's remaining Bondmate and fellow student of Puretide.
46	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Averted; she very nearly does this after getting an eyeful of the Warp and Chaos completely unfiltered [[spoiler: but the Tau'va spirit chained there snaps her out of it]].
47	[[/folder]]
48	[[folder: O'Vesa, the Stone Dragon]]
49	----
50	An Earth Caste scientist, and one of Farsight's oldest friends.
51	* VirtualGhost: [[spoiler: He's uploaded his mind into the nanobots he'd previosuly used to extend his lifespan, becoming an AI. A Daemon implies this destroyed his soul, though he doesn't care]].
