Warhammer 40K: I, Konrad Curze, Return to the Imperium Under My Own Name

(Night Lords, Primarch) Deep beneath Nostramo, Curze is supposed to become the Dark Marquis, but a burned-out office worker transmigrates into his body. He throws away the rotting flesh and refuses to eat brains. Using corporate spin to recruit street thugs and simple streetlights to illuminate the endless night, he transforms a planet of crime into a model of public order. Precognitive visions? He snacks on ration bars while roasting the script. When the Emperor arrives, he finds a young man clutching the Nostramo Management Code and shouting, “I want a permanent position!” During the Horus Heresy, the entire Imperium expects him to turn traitor. Instead, he leads the Night Lords into the vanguard of the campaign to quell the rebellion. “Betrayal can’t beat a job with benefits!”
