b1soul Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 What's the speculation about the identity of the in-universe authour of the FW Black Books? Any cool theories? Does AK even refer to a single individual or could it be the calling card of a group or order?

m0nolith Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 What's the speculation about the identity of the in-universe authour of the FW Black Books? Any cool theories? Does AK even refer to a single individual or could it be the calling card of a group or order? In Malcador: First Lord of the Imperium, the AK character shows up (apologies, I don't remember his full name) and he is one of Malcador's advisers/assistants. It's either him, or Amendera Kendel.

Laughingman Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I assumed an aged Amendera Krendel a couple hundred years after the Horus Heresy, writing down "the actual history" for posterity...

bluntblade Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 The narrator refers to themselves as an old man, so I think it rules out Amendera. Also she wasn't on Tallarn when it died.

Skalpynock Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 From First Lord of the Imperium , I think the man was called Allium Karpin (sp?). Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360294-who-is-ak/#findComment-5439942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I always thought it was Amandera Kendel but the following information changes everything. In Malcador: First Lord of the Imperium, the AK character shows up (apologies, I don't remember his full name) and he is one of Malcador's advisers/assistants. The narrator refers to themselves as an old man, so I think it rules out Amendera. Also she wasn't on Tallarn when it died. From First Lord of the Imperium , I think the man was called Allium Karpin (sp?). Cheers for sharing this, folks. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360294-who-is-ak/#findComment-5439962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1soul Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Is there any additional info available about Allium Karpin [sp?]? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360294-who-is-ak/#findComment-5442622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Don't quote me on this, but I recall reading somewhere it is a pseudonym for Alan Bligh as a homage to his memory, which suggests the "AK" was originally meant as someone else and this was a "retcon" to honour his tragic passing.

bluntblade Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 We debunked that one. Unless Amendera Kendel has taken to referring to herself as an old man. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360294-who-is-ak/#findComment-5443608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
