yeah, i saw it was not 'the' throne. just badly worded by me out of fluffgasm overload LOL
why would malcador be chained to the throne though? he was regent of terra after all, and as some theorise the dual soul of the emperor (his hoarcux LOL). so maybe the lost primarchs were part of the inquisition or at least the forming of it, be it as a part of or a reason for.
in one of the old stories he turned to ash on removal of the throne, after keeping the demon hoards from coming through the webway gate. oim sure its in the visions of book
This.Though he was a powerful psyker in his own right, Malcador's mental powers were nothing compared to that of the Emperor, and so when Rogal Dorn brought the severely injured ruler of mankind back to the Golden Throne, he found Malcador sitting wasted, energy lashing across his shrivelled body, tortured by the psychic bombardments of the [URL="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Webway"]Webway[/URL]. He was almost dead. [URL="http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Tech-priest"]Tech-priests[/URL] then made the exchange - disengaging Malcador from the machine. As he was removed, the last flicker of life left him and the dust of his corpse blew across the stone floor.
At the instant of Malcador's death, the Emperor awoke from his coma - Malcador had saved a last kernel of strength and passed it on to the Emperor so he could give his servants their final orders
He also isn't chained to the throne, he just has loads of chains. He's described as having them in a few places.

As a Lord of Terra he was probably involved in the decision to destroy them.

A couple of small observations. The mask at Malcadors feet fits the description of the mask he wares when meeting the head of the assassin temples in nemesis so i wonder if they are involved in someway.
It is also mentioned in The Outcast Dead that the wolfs have been unleashed before in a simmilar manner as against magnus.
From what I have gathered it sounded like XI had been destroyed by the wolves and II had somehow disappeared. It'll be interesting to see how they are mentioned in the book, I hope it doesn't screw up the 2nd legion fluff I've been working on for my army.
found one
However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!
