That is exactly what I enjoy the most about Cawl. Space marines always try to pull the "We are still human" part but the they are so above everything else those comments are always sort of lost. Meanwhile Cawl is completely inhuman by most and even himself takes prides in how little biological parts he has remaining but then he is by far the most human acting character in the setting. He has passions, obsessions, quirks, doubts, he truly is human.
@@lunasllenas1997the moment he complained about how Guilliman is going to give him a tedius earful soon was the moment he became one of my favorite characters. Such unnecesary moment, yet so human.

I love Cawl. He understands that while the flesh is weak, it’s important to not forget what makes us human. The soul. Emotion. Friendship. Despite being 10k years old he hasn’t purged himself of these things like most tech priests have. Even claiming at one point to love Primus like a son and was about to throw down his own life to save Primus. Hes been trying for 10k years to bring back his best friend that died as part of someone trying to get to Cawl. He genuinely laughs when people say things he finds humerus. While he selects his personalities for each occasion, he understands that machines are strongest when they are combined with humanity.
Its funny you say that, as he is implied to be, and work on, Abominable Intelligence (AI) and having multiple personalities momentarily surfacing to speak their own opinions at times, and jerking a few words at others
because cawl philosophy about flesh is weak is mor akin to how Vulkan views it. "Flesh is weak, but deeds endure" but since Cawl understand he's not demigod who virtually immortal, he wouldn't just simply left his legacy in those hands who he knows are incompetent. and thus "Flesh is weak, and i have to live or imperium fck*d"
@@AYAKXSHI the Cawl inferior also wants Cawl to become fabricator general. Something that Cawl is opposed to as in his words. “I don’t like obligation. It is WAY too much work. When would I ever get anything important done?”
Cawl is my favourite character in the setting. He's like a fun mad scientist to contrast Fabius Bile's grim demeanour and Trazyn's mad collector vibe. Plus, he's got a knack for getting under Bobby Guileman's skin with great panache.
Don’t forget he bullied bile and mock him for being stupid and not be able to make primarius marines. said only one who get how I made them is emperor himself even then I may lie to him. This made bile really angry, he couldn’t do anything to crawl he’s to smart and resourceful Keeping him as a prisoner as leader megaso means adepts will go full schizo to rescue him. he even found a necron lord on his own planet and hijack his own tech. which infuriated the necron lord because originally he saw the adeptus as inferior necron copies. Then crawl hijack his entire factory
I find it so interesting that the head of the mechanicus, a group known for their emotionless & robotic approach to life, is the most human of all of them.
Belasarius Cawl is "only" Arch-Magos Dominus, essentially the highest ranking general of Mechanicus, but he is not head of the Mechanicus, that is Fabricator-General Oud Oudia Raskian who is also one of the High Lords of Terra.
@@KoteDarasuum he is basically the leader. The only reason he doesn't have the title is because he refuses despite all the othe tech priests urging him to take it. He likes the free time of not having a job.
it's kind of a subtle detail but the fact Alpha Primus "looked up" at Bellasarius just tells you how huge he must be. Primaris Marines are already bigger than Astartes, who are giants compared to humans, and its the Primaris who say Alpha Primus is a giant compared to them, so just imagine how tall and imposing Cawl is if a giant amongst giants has to look up to see his face
Alpha Primus is implied to be different to the primaris marines (eg he can't make another like Alpha Primus) he's like a makeshift version of a custodian or as close as you can get at least.

"It is truly unhuman." The unhuman in question: Cawl rubs his hands like a fly at the assembly line. He's feeling a little spicy today. "Now guns, guns guns guns. Long ranged or close ranged hmm? Ah, Primus me boy! What you think fancy me today?"
I would love to see a meeting between Alpha Primus and Clonegrim. Like when your dad and his colleague are having business talk and they have to take you two along so you just talk.
This has got me thinking about how human other human factions are, Do kriegers celebrate Oktoberfest? Do the Valhallan ice warriors like hot chocolate? Does the inquisition have an emperor day party in their offices?
Remember the adeptus have their own chapter of marines simply to spite the imperium of man. those space marine are guardians to the adeptus but in return they get tech not found in any other chapter blood ravens “ hippy hoppy your custom made bolter is now my property”
Lol. So Cawl wakes up and then goes through a Tony Stark style assembly line, choosing his bits for the day? For someone from the Mechanicum, with his level of... modification... he seems to have kept a sense of humor and delight.
When he said "something a little more personal" he reminded me of Orthopox from Destroy All Humans, "do you want a saucer upgrade, or something a little bit more personal?"
How come it's the inhuman character of Warhammer that act so fucking human all the time? First: Trazyn fucking with Orikan at every step of the way Now: Cawl being an absolute diva choosing the drip for the day 😂
At least partially would be hard to sleep with all those weird things and mechadendrites attatched. I've even heard of a tech-priestess with on near the base of her spine like a tail. I don't remember if I am misremembering this or if that in particular was from some fanfiction I read. Considering the current Fabricator-General is the size of a building requiring actual clearence to transport him from Mars to Holy Terra.
Cawl is actually.... A pretty nice dude all things considered? He even misses his old friend. Frequently calls his assistant by the name of his old friend. (much to the dude's slight annoyance) "My names not Friedish" "I know, I know, now hurry along Friedish" Like Trazyn, Cawl is just a grandpa who's still chipper and happy to do his old job while taking his grandchild along.
With all of the brains he has absorbed over the millennia he is probably something other than straight, if his original self ever was. That probably helps. 😂
@@Trehlas he is basically the Fabricator General in all but name. He has more tech heresies to his name than most dark mechanicum, or so I would imagine. Of course he is living his best life.
@@Tinkering4Time yeah the high Lords would probably execute him for the stuff he's done. He considered a AI of gilliam that he made and a AI of himself that he gave to gilliam a "minor transgression" and then he worked with the necrons specifically trazyn.

@@ryansauchuk7290 nothing is too far for Bile, he's likely more impressed by the balls Cawl had to go that far than anything else
Unhuman? It feels very human with how cheerful he is when starting the day and choosing his guns.
He's literally a kid wondering what pen he'll take to pre school today even tho these mfs don't write nothing just like how he never gets into fights
It’s very American. The European mind cannot comprehend having a different gun for breakfast lunch and dinner every day of the week with no repeats
Cawl uttered "Guns guns guns" and proved he was still quite human.
Missing the point; They start out as a limbless torso, borg queen style, or just a literally head on a stick. He isn't just choosing his boomstick; He's literally lego man building himself from nothing. Dude attaches a typewritter, a literal typewritter, to his fifth arm.

Tech priest: I got that shit ON!
Imagine a comedy sitcom with these two, that'll be so hilarious.
"now guns. Guns, guns, guns" is gotta be one of my favorite lines
“Primus, fetch the BAPE hoodie”

I bet Batman and Alfred had this kind of conversation at least one time in their life
Felling cute, matching guns for the color this robe- Cawl

There's nothing more human than a drip check from a homie
“Primaris, how’s the drip?”
“DI-VI-NE”
“How do I look, Primus?”
“With your photosensors, Cawl, with your photosensors.”

Need a tech priest with an lectric guitar greataxe-flamethrower and a set of giant speaker implants
This feels human more human than the astartes for sure
his antics are SO going to result in a second Martian Schism. he thinks and acts exactly like his dark mechanicum counterparts
