I agree with Weasel on this.
I used to think the Emperor was some sick life sucking devient residing
in a Golden Thrown untill I read the "Fluff Piece", (Do we have to use
the term "Fluff Piece?") on him. I wish I had a scanner to show the
picture of him, and the epic story of how he was mortally wounded.
I tell you it almost brought a tear to my eye! ;)
