13th Age 40K Icons
(Note, the setting is modified to be less grimdark, more moderate and generally better for HIGH ADVENTURE)

The Emperor of Mankind
Quote: "Man will stand, as long as I draw breath"
Common Location: In his Golden Throne on Terra
Common Knowledge: Greviously wounded but still alive (unlike corpsey mcdead in standard 40k), runs the empire of man pretty close to how he envisioned it. trying to recover lost stcs to bring the Imperium back to its former glory.
Adventurers: Most imperium of man players are aware of him, either as what he is, a deity or folklore. The massive bureaucracy of the imperium is their most general point of contact. meeting the emperor himself his really hard.
Allies: Guilliman (kinda), Creed plays chess with him maybe?, shaky friends with eldar
Enemies: Hates chaos, wary of necron/tau/ork incursion.
It'll be okay if: the emperor doesn't wig out and decides he's had enough of this shit, let it burn.


Roboute Guilliman
Quote: "Ultramar, now and forever."
Common location: Ultramar
Common Knowledge: "splinter sect" of the imperium where he's worshipped more. resents Emperor for fucking up in the horus heresy. Wants to do his own thing but doesn't want war.
Adventurers: most imperium of man players again. space marine players may have even seen him in person one time.
Allies: Emperor (fuk u dad), careful allies with Tau (they smell ew)
Enemies: Orks, Tyranids, Chaos. Eldar don't talk straight.
It'll be if: he keeps his angst under wraps and doesn't start another civil war.

Lord Ursakar Creed
Adeptus Mechanicus

The 5 Chaos Gods - Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Nurgle, Malal
Quote: "Impulse makes things happen."
Common Location: The Warp doing warpy things
Common Knowledge: Chaos gods represent raw impulse and are not inherently evil. Khorne is battle and honor, Tzeentch is change and hope, Slaanesh is love and self-expression, Nurgle is family and life, Malal is rebellion.
Adventurers: Chaos players/disenfranchised worship them.
Allies: Abaddon (what a weirdo), Ghazgull likes Khorne, creed plays chess with Tzeentch on fridays
Enemies: Emperor and Guilliman, most Eldar think Slaanesh is a creepy pervert think of the children its not natural blah blah blah

Abaddon
Gazghull Thraka
Eldrad
Asdrubal Vect

Aun'Va
Quote: "The light, my children! It burns so bright!"
Common Location: Either on T'au, or in the biggest ship of an expansion fleet.
Common Knowledge: Tau pope.
Adventurers: Order-aligned Tau Players follow Aun'Va's teachings. Chaos-aligned Tau think he sucks. Not many other people give a shit.
Allies: Eldrad, Silent King, Guilliman
Enemies: Emperor, Farsight, Swarmlords, Ghazghull

Farsight

The Silent King
Quote: He's silent, dummy.
Common Location: Who fucking knows.
Common Knowledge: The appointed leader of all Necrontyr. Wants to reinstate the Necron Dynasties as big players.
Adventurers: Necron players either work on his behalf or are part of a dynasty that wants to usurp him. Think game of thrones with skelebots.
Allies: Some Eldar, Human, Tau (farsight in particular). Ghazghull thinks they're fun to fight.
Enemies: Guilliman is a jerk, Emperor is like "go away."

The Swarmlords
