    Drach'nyen was the daemon of daemons. A mighty beast that could slaughter Custodes and Sisters of Silence with ease. So how did he end up becoming Abaddon's toothpick?

      I feel like Abaddon gets a bad rap for no reason. There's a reason why Abbadon failed 12 times. Its because there needs to be a continuity for Cadia for like 20-30 irl years and at large the Imperium of Man for Games Workshop.
      He's meant to work this way because of writing and GWs sales. No one wanted to write Cadia off until very recently.
      This also has to do with what fans generally play as: The Imperium.
      Because 1) Everyone wants to to play the race they relate to the most and 2) Chaos is a bitch to paint.

    I also like the idea that Ra chose Abaddon. Maybe even a moment of understanding between Ra and Abaddon? Ra and Abaddon were fighting but Abaddon was on the worse end of the fight - but as you said Ra realised that Abaddon was the best possible protector of Drach'nyens power because he'll never truly use it. Like Abaddon would burn entire planets and solar systems and not blink an eye, but unleashing Drach'nyen would be going too far in the war AND he'd lose whatever control he had over Chaos. The Champion of Chaos still having a slight bit of human there too simply because he views Chaos as a weapon, not as a truth would make him more than a "I'll get you next time you melding Space Marines you" villian.

Because the best part would be that Bile knows about this the whole time but he can't say anything because the Chaos armies would collapse on themselves, get mopped up by the Imperium with no leadership and then Bile would be hunted down in short order. So Abbadon would be his greatest success and also his biggest failure and no one can ever know.

    It's not mainly that he's more powerful. It's because he's the antitheses of the Emperor. Tailor made to counter him. Like how big E is to the Chaos Gods.

    If Drachy'nyen was born of the first murder and in the same chapter the Emperor witnessed the death of his father it is very likely that the Emperor was Abel's son. The shaman singularity plot still applies as it doesn't mean the Emperor needed to be spawned out of nothing, just that he was significant enough that his lineage, and his family history, became engrained in all abrahamic religions.

      Never thought of it that way, but that would mean the Bible *WAS RIGHT* but would also be wrong because the prophecy says that the antichrist will fail and lose to Christ. I'm a Christian, but I have always taken WH40k's lore as any nonbeliever of creationist religions would in the setting, and feel that legitimizing the Bible in setting is problematic, as humanity is far younger than other sentient life forms in setting, also because it doesn't mesh with the emperor's creation, or the Warp and it's entities. If the Bible IS cannon in WH40k, where is Heaven? Obviously the Warp is arguably Hell, but the Warp isn't inherently malicious, it just became that way over millennia of negativity from sentient life. Where IS Jesus? God? I think whoever wrote this at GW is either massively ignorant of the previously established lore in-universe, or is trying to retcon it without realizing just how problematic it is. Abrahamic faiths are incompatible with WH, as are Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. You'd have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to make Buddhism work, but it's more possible than any other major religion currently. With the effective mortality of ancient Greek, Roman, and Norse pagan mythology, I could see those pantheons possibly mingling with the WH lore, but that's still going to take a lot of work. I wish GW hadn't taken this tack. The abrahamic creationist lore doesn't work with the Old Ones, the Necrontyr or Necrons, the Eldar, Orks, C'Tan, and many more that predate humanity by millions of years.

    I think the lore is kind of weak. That this demon was born when the first human committed murder has multiple problems. Humans weren't the first sentient life in the galaxy by a large margin, and I have a hard time accepting that none of the races that are millions of years older ever committed murder out of hate. The necrontyr and the eldar are the lowest hanging fruits to pick for this argument. Also, you'd think that murder would be more Khorne related than an empire ending focused warp entity. Also, how do the 30+ millenia of empires rising and falling BEFORE the Great Crusade not count? Between the (completely unrelated to anything regarding empires) murder of Able and the Great Crusade even up to OUR point in existence you have everything from the Babylonians, Alexander the Great, Rome, the Khans, Napoleon, almost every major European country has had an empire at some point, the 3rd Reich, the Soviet Union, the United States, and everything else between now and the rest of humanity's future up to the Great Crusade, including the Dark Age of Technology, which I assume has to have had some imperial moments. Seems like GW got lazy with the lore here

    So why exactly Emperor needed to be stabbed? If he had power to lock Drach'nyen in sword prison then why didn't he do it instantly? If Drach'nyen powers are locked when he is in this form then why didn't Emperor simply took the sword and lock it with other dangerous things inside vaults in his palace instead of stabbing custodes with it and yelling "Run Forrest, Run!"? He could order it to be guarded by bunch of sisters of silence and custodes.
    For Emperor to not do that it means that Drach'nyen still have to have power to influence others and possess things. So how exactly someone like Abaddon is able to use it? Why didn't Drach'nyen possess someone and then stab Abaddon from the back while he is occupied in fight for example? Why didn't he possess Abaddon and then release himself?

    Theory: Drach is not a name, it’s a title. Beyond greater daemons, daemons with this title represent key moments in human history. While Drach”Nyen is the most powerful, as it is directly linked to killing, there are others with the same “Echo of the the first [blank]” name. Imagine “Echo of the first scheme”, “Echo of the first embrace” or “Echo of the first despair” being Drach’nyen’s siblings.

The Emperor representing the future of humanity through enlightened science and atheism vs. the repressive primal origins of humanity. It’s not so much that he is as powerful or more powerful than the Emperor. Worth mentioning that the Emperor’s origins in the book have him first use his power to punish his uncle for the murder of his father, instilling law and order for the first time in humanities history. Whereas Drach’Nyen’s origins are the parallel opposite, a brother killing a brother.

    This endless waste of existence...was Webway.
    This was Ra Endymion's reality for... How many years?
    Must be for centuries..
    While Ra Endymion watching the seemless and hazy horizon, he focused to his steady and rapid steps again, like he did for centuries..
    He must focus what he can command.
    To every part of his formidable body. To his path. To his determination.
    For his thoughts are not familiar to him because of the constant battle that rages in his mind with Ra himself and The Sword.
    Yes, he knew what was this sword actually is. Yes he was choosing to call it The Sword. After many years, he learnt that even his mighty resolution was no match for the ferosity of The Sword's corrupting suggestions. So he came up with a defence mechanism by his own; focusing the material world and ignoring The Sword's existence.
    Cause whenever he tries to dive into his own mind; every single time, his decisions, memories and emotions were being stirred like a primordial soup of the cosmos. What he was doing against this inner threat, is to shut down and block the relevant parts of his mind like it has been thought to him.
    Thought by... The Emperor.
    Even though Ra wasn't eager to glimpse to his own memories and doing so was an essential part of his defence mechanism against The Sword; the allure which the memories about The Emperor were presenting was irrefutable.
    So he remembered.
    Just for a moment.
    His crushing presence, his assuring company, his neverending wisdom, his blinding brilliance.
    His last order.
    By remembering The Emperor's last order to him, Endymion woke up from his poisonous thoughts which were clearly not his and focused to his steps.
    One step after another.
    Always forward. Never slowing down, never staggering.
    The bases of his auramite armor's boots were long gone because of the century long friction. Yet the custodian continued.
    Until for the first time for centuries, he heard something.

    I like how I got an AD about a Yu-Gi-Oh mobile game.
    While watching Warhammer 40K lore by an Australians.
