Now just add the fact that Talos is a family man and has a fondness for adoption, and you some interesting opportunities if we decided to go a certain route.
Talos seems perfectly willing to subvert the spirit of the Codex, who says he's not also willing to bend some other things to ensure his influence over the admech.
I can't say I fully agree with the anon who says Talos couldn't find politics fun. Maybe he hasn't tried it, but when he has a taste, it's like biting into a hot piece of corpsestarch for the first time. You get a good flavor once, and you learn to enjoy it and want more.
Then again, that would probably piss off Guilliman if we lean too far into the mustache twirling. There's a fine balance to achieve effective autocracy and encourage competency among subordinates. Perhaps in the end, the best thing to do is get his advice on the way to achieve harmony and control of the admech at large and coordinate with him. He helps us transform the Admech into something to resist a great schism, and we provide him with more resources than even Ultramar could ever dream of.
