The Apocrypha Of Jaq Draco - 40K Theories
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 жов 2024
- Quite possibly the most infamous and notorious Inquisitor to ever exist, the stories of Jaq Draco’s various (and often times unbelievable) exploits are quite literally the stuff of legend. But the biggest mystery surrounding this Radical Inquisitor is in regards to his very existence.

Also, as a pre-emptive answer to any newcomers wondering, the reason I pronounce Tyranids the way I do is simply due to personal preference :P
I would like to point out an important tidbit you seemingly didn't notice, Draco was a member of the Ordo Hydra and had a Hydra tattooed to his face in art depictions...
Do you know who else used the Hydra as a symbol and had it tattooed on their face in art depictions?
Alpharius/Omegon.
Which means that either the Hydra Conspiracy or the novel trilogy itself is the work of the Alpha Legion.
The funny thing is that, despite being called the Ordo Hydra, their symbol was more like an Octopus (it could have even been a reference to Hydra in Marvel Comics, or simply referring to the tentacled micro-organism also called a Hydra, though I'm not certain).
Also, an unrelated fun fact, the Alpha Legion's penchant for secrecy and manipulation and the like didn't actually come about until 3rd edition. In 2nd edition they simply wanted to prove that, despite being the youngest legion, they were just as worthy as the others.
@@40KTheories That makes Ian Watson the God Father to the Modern Alpha Legion as well as the Modern 40K!

Nice 😊 reference my friend ❤

The tech priest should have left the document wedged between the sewer pipes...
I don't think the irony is lost on Black Library.

This is a fantastic example of what I believe to one of the best aspects of 40k lore, its acknowledged in universe unreliably, unlike so many other IPs that get reconned over the years where things are and then are not cannon, everything in 40k, regardless of contradictions, remains cannon due to the bureaucracy that records it being so bloated and unable to cope with the amount of information the universe generates, I love it 🔥🔥🔥

Radical Inquisitors check their beds for Jaq Draco.
Honestly if I was a writer for 40k and forced to write an answer to the Draco being a real person or a fictitious character, I would honestly cop out and say both. He would be a real inquisitor who had some of his adventures but the story has been convoluted and distorted to the point that it bears little if any resemblance to the Draco we see in the draco novels. Much like how the historical inspirations for King Arthur bare so little remembrance to said historical people. To the point where only a name and a basic physical description being the only connecting factors between the man and the stories.
That's the only way my brain can make sense of him being real in universe and just retconning his whole existence seems lazier writing than the books he stars in.
when a lonely inquisitor's fanfiction is found out by accident
You poor fool! Random Machanicus guy why would you do this to yourself again?
Glad to hear Nurgle has finally left you alone Rem!! And if this pre-recorded, I certainly hope you are doing better!!
Good news! Netflix has given the go ahead for the adaptation. they've already cast Adam Driver as Jaq Draco. I can hardly wait!
*looks at genestealer*

Glad you covered this crazy guy
I purchased....the forbidden book a year ago. I'm still trying to cleanse my mind by reading Fulgrim, Dead Men Walking and hopefully by purchasing a Blood Angels novel.
I reread it a few years back..... I am now an Iron Warrior

Even an Imperial citizen and a Chaos Warrior can find comraderie when they have read a book that would make others feel disgust.
ah yes ian watson..the one being in all of creation capable of out-kinking slannesh
Ian Watson, Sewer Goblin!
I love it when people pronounce it "mail-ee-us" despite malleus being a real word with several variations, of which none are pronounced that way. It's so silly and I always love a good laugh. Do you call a mallet a maillet?
And then there's "mall" 😋
MAGNUS I mean IAN WATSON did nothing wrong!
He is the God Father of modern 40k
Oh noes... We're gonna need some strong liqour for these zany hijinks😅
Another excellent video!
By the man emperor what heresy is this
I picture the story to be an imperial parable of virtue and warning against weakness. For instance, the imperial fist is the one who dutifully obeys the inquisitor's orders, nobly fights off demonic possession, but by constant vigilance ultimately executes the inquisitor for his crime of emotional weakness sending the band on a fool's errand. Also look at how all the mutants show character flaws - the squat is portrayed as somewhat cowardly at times and basically a stand in for the mechanicus, their omission possibly being to maintain political neutrality for the author, and the navigator who succumbs to the warp unlike the noble space marine, and then the astropath who defies Draco and sends an exterminatus order anyway. The moral of the story to an imperial citizen is be dutiful, obedient and vigilant even to your superiors. I guess.
I think this book corrupted poor boy.
Hydra sounds like an alpha legion demon prince or maybe alpharius god to ascend 😂
HE IS FROM THE FUTURE
sorry the moment you meation it being found in a sewer pip and it being 13 hundred years old i couldnt get the DBZ abridged line out of my head
Wait Hydra, Cover ups, Damn you Alpharious
I long for gene 🧬 stealer ass
Mate, you should add #spacemarine2 now while the algorithm is still reeling from the traffic spike
Is this the same Inquisitor dude from Necromunda Hired Gun?
If he is then it's the first I've heard of it. He _was_ mentioned in one of the Kal Jerico novels though (as shown in the video).
@@40KTheories ah you're right. It's Kal!!
oh god
Comment for the comment god!
Inquisitor was my first 40K book, loved the story, but man, the german translation was BAD! xD
Oh? How bad was it? I'm curious.
@@40KTheories Space Marines were called Kaisergrenadiere* (imperial grenadiers) and bolters were translated to Bolzengewehr (bolt rifle), just to name a few. The translator had no clue what he was reading/writing about. But it got better with the third book. *I think that's what the Imperial Fists were called, it's been some time.
They were 25 years ahead of the curve when it came to bolt rifles lol
@@40KTheories Omg, you're right, lol! Also: the Emperor was the "Kaiser" (literaly the german word for Emperor), Horus was the "Heermeister" (army master), oh, and Space Marines were just called: "das Marinecorps", so I thought of them as regular humans first.
Pardon me wtf was that mechanicus adepts name?!
Aurelis Fo (I accidentally wrote it in my script as Aurelius Fo)
@@40KTheories I thought you said the guy from the heresy that Horus had arrested
@@GotrekGurnisson No no, that would be Basilio Fo hehe
