Top 10 Historical Figures the Emperor of Mankind Might Have Been Part 1

In celebration of reaching 1000 downloads on our podcast I wanted to engage with the fans of our season 1 topic (the fiction of Warhammer 40,000 and history). I also wanted to step away from the grimdark podcast tone for a couple of episodes and have a little fun.

To thank all the fans who have supported the podcast so far I anonymously reached out to the 40KLore sub-Reddit and just asked the question "Who's your favorite historical figure the Emperor of Mankind Might Have Been?" To help get the answers flowing in the post I suggested 4 significant historical figures with 2 suggestions being conquerors and empire builders and 2 suggestions being more philosophical and softer thinking influences.

With over 350 responses to the question I took the top responses from the fans, put it into an online poll, and again engaged with everyone on Discord, Twitter, and the various Warhammer 40K subreddits asking people to now vote from the list of historical figures they suggested, "who did they feel was most likely to have been the Emperor of Mankind?"

Joining me as we go through the Top 10 list as chosen by you, the fans of 40K lore, is Laura Whitehead co-host and co-creator of the Chaos Divided podcast which discuss all things 40K with a light hearted and wholesome tone that will leave you smiling after every episode.
