May I ask how he is a mass murderer? He took no part in either of the purges or the Xenocide, and even tried to stop the purges. He is kinda the good guy here, and he brings up good points, you are blaming him for things he didn’t do. If anything he is a more respectable person that the Emperor, which is a low bar, but the point still stands

Laura stiffens a little bit.

"Vendis Adi. Chao Jin. Elizabet Porte. Hallis Cruz. Benna Cruz. Those were the first five casualties when the Moiraides boarded the Dawnbringer. None of them were Astartes, or even armed. They were just innocents caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. That didn't stop Custodians from killing them, or ninety-eight other people. Murshi Cen. Philla Vilm Cen. Urga Jalom. The list goes on, and I remember them all."

"That's not mentioning all the people killed when the Summer Light was crippled, or when the Pax Nova was hit by a broadside," Citalicue adds.
